Has anyone modified the what looks like a highly inefficient exaust outlet to run a screamer pipe?

It looks to me if you got a peice formed to match the opening that the wastegate lets gas through then took the stitch welded cap off and helded a peice of pipe that follows the angel of the dump pipe it would work.

But has anyone done this??

Exhaust turbine exit can have a groove machined out, so a piece of appropriate OD pipe fits snugly inside it. Thats then welded through the appropriate dump pipe flange, and flared out to match your exhaust width. The cavity behind the gate flap has your "screamer" pipe mounted it it.

Tis o l d school, you should be able to hunt some pictures down.

People often have a hard time ridding leaks, as the style of actuator and general flap design sux, that plus ur time to make it all up relegates it a relative rarity to see done these day :P

If it's been done then it' a good thing. I'll bring it to a Fab and machine shop i used to work at, their never really busy and i know an amazing TIG welder that i'd make sure did it all. The worst that could happen is they somehow f**k up the turbo and i get them to have a Gt2860 or 71 shipped to me with a Jap Speed screamer pipe which will be the very clear fix to the problem before they even touch it.

Instead of having a groove machined out i'll just have a peice of scrap 10 guage formed to fit and a $5 peice of galvanized exaust pipe from an auto store with a 90 degree bend already in it tig welded to the opening.

I'll just have them pop that cap off with a die grinder and zip-cut and just have the excess cutting filled and grinded.

Aslong as it's loud it's good. Plus i could see it flowing exaust gas more efficiently in the top end.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
