A stock dump pipe flows the spent exhaust gases from the turbo and wastegate through the exhaust system (cat, resonator, muffler etc), the screamer pipe directly vents gases from the wastegate into the atmosphere. I'm guessing you have stock internal gate turbo, so you can have a screamer pipe but it requires a partition between turbine wheel housing and the wastegate for seperate dump and screamer.

Advantages of a screamer pipe: THEY'RE FUGGIN COOL!! and get they the attention of everyone when the wastegate cracks open at full boost, they also reduce turbulence and backpressure in exhaust system.

Disads: Illegal, very loud

Explaination of the setup is in the above post... so here is a bit more.

For a stock turbo or otherwise internally gated, pointless.

Only really useful when using a properly setup external gate arrangement.

On a stock or near stock turbo they sound dreadful as the internal gates are tiny, and it simply (performance based) doesnt offer a gain as there isnt enough flow coming out of the turbo that a normal internally turbo with a good flowing 3" exhaust cant handle.

If you do have a larger (int gated) turbo, and you are having issues with boost control, then the cause is the turbo itself... and it should be fixed there, not with an ext gate/screamer

So far in my car i have these mods:

apexi power fc

3 inch exhaust cat back

front mount

z32 airflow meter with apexi pod

12psi

do you reckon it would be worth putting a dump pipe on for now until i get a bigger turbo to put a screamer pipe?

Also what power gains am i looking at if i put a dump pipe?

Also if i put a bigger turbo would a screamer pipe get good power compared to a dump?

Also SINISTA are you running that off a stock turbo?

Why are you running a Z32 on a stock turbo'd car...

Dump pipe is quite important.

Dont both with a screamer/ext venting pipe dude, its pointless, if you read my post... apply that to the "bigger turbo" scenario and you'll have your answer

i had a screamer pipe on a stocko turbo on a 20 in one of my old cars, it actually hindered performance but sounded tuff as (ie like it had an external gate with screamer pipe). it was a hks item :) . screamer pipes make your car sound 10 times as loud at full boost, i swear i came every time it hit full boost :D

How did it hinder performance?

This is very true how it sounds and performs is directly related to who its been made by and how much development has been put into it and not wether it is an internal or external.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
