hi all

i have an r32 gts25 with the rb25de engine, sorry i am new to skylines only had mine for around 2 weeks.

what do i have to buy to upgrade my exhaust system?

do i have to buy na extractors or will the turbo one fit?

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.

    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
