do i need a dump pipe?

and what type of exhaust will fit it, do have to get an na one?

if anyone can answer these questions it would be great!!thanks

and if possible can someone send me some links to websites to buy an upgraded exhaust?

thanks again from adam

are you doing a turbo conversion?

- you'll have to buy an exhaust system, to upgrade it.

- yes the manifold stud pattern lines up the same between the NA and turbo - just depends what it is you are after.

- a dump pipe will be required if you are swapping over to a turbo manifold, you will also need a TURBO!!

- you'll will need to know the size of the exhaust in order to be able to find one/buy one that will fit.

- you can search the forums to find an upgraded exhaust.

now that i've answered your questions, you can answer mine...

- how old are you?

- do you REALLY know what you're talking about?

Hi

Yeh im only 16, but i juust dont know much about skylines at all, as i really wanted to get an s13, but then i found the skyline.So i havent done that much research on it.

And no im not going for the turbo at the moment, just wanted to now where i can get an na turbo manifold and exhaust, and if i need anything else to get them to fit?

thanks anyway

extractors/headers/branches are normally the name associated with non turbo motors.

manifolds are normally the name associated with turbo motors.

the names are essentially interchangeable.

turbo manifolds and non turbo manifolds are completely different physically, they are a totally different setup.

in a turbo motor, the exhaust gases feed into the exhaust housing of the actual turbo spinning the exhaust turbine, which in turn causes the intake turbine to spin, these gases are then expelled through the dump pipe/wastegate into the cat and then out the catback.

in the non turbo motor, the exhaust gases join and are directly expelled into the cat then out the catback.

they are interchangeable from catback (meaning from the catylytic convertor then back). anywhere from the side of the head to the cat itself is a totally different system.

i don't have the time to explain this in words, it's much easier if you sit down and learn first hand how things work from A to B, rather than skipping straight to C.

in a nutshell, you do not want an exhaust manifold from a turbo motor if you do not plan on having a turbo.. simple?

Yeh thanks Eug big help right there

i know understand lol

do you know any sources or company websites that sell rb25 extractors?

and will any r32 aftermarket exhaust fit?

sorry for the q's, thanks for the help

funny you should say that...

i recently co-ordinated the group buy for RB20/25 extractors a few months ago... needless to say i refuse to do further dealings with that company again due to poor communication efforts. they are however trustworthy as members of this board (myself included) have purchased a few thousand dollars worth of extractors.

i found myself constantly calling them, and enquiring as to progress reports and what not. i think everyone bar (chicane, who had a slightly more time consuming order) has received their headers. chicane has actually received his slip for the pick up, but due to easter break is unable to pick them up.

i know MissR34 has also contacted me regarding some new headers, so it's best if you speak to her - she might have sourced another supplier. that said if you really wish to purchase from the said company, PM me and i can supply you with details. you will however not get the prices i was able to establish.

aftermarket exhaust wise... not ANY will fit, it depends on that size... if you have a 2.25" system, stick to that. whilst a 3.5" one will fit - it will be less beneficial.

i suggest do some reading and learn about a few things before jumping into the deep end. you are young, and it pays to build up a little knowledge before handing over your money. not every mechanic and salesman is your friend, and not many of them will help you out like many of the members of this board. it pays to ask questions like you have done, ask smart questions and try searching these forums for your answers. more than likely they've been answered before.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
