Hi,

R33 GTR with stock turbos, is it possible to upgrade the stock Dump Pipes without taking out the turbos?

i.e install them from underneath the car? how much should i be looking at for install? Found these and want to stick them on when i tune my car this weekend linky

I heard they offer a big power increase?

Thanks.

Yeah you can!

I did that. Rebuilt my stock turbos and put in new larger diametre dump pipes.

BTW your link is not working.

sorry someone just bought it.. lol

These ones are cheap too though, ebay link doesnt work for some reason? anyway they are "JDM Performance Stainless Dump Pipe-RB26DETT R32 GTR" @ AU $189.00.

did you do it yourself mate? i did my exhuast and front pipes myself at home in my garage, but dont think i could get away with installing dump pipes myself? how much would a mechanic charge for something like this? cheers.

BTW, did you notice a big power difference?

Well I did it at the same time when my mechanic rebuilt turbos, he found a split / crack in the stock dump pipes. So he put new 3 or 3.5" ones in. So it cost me about $5000 = :unsure:

But I don't think it will cost that much to get him to install. Estimate $100 give or take...

It allows the turbos to spool / flow the exhaust fumes a lot better / smoother.

Not sure about the power output as I don't think he dynoed it but the car is running much better cause the stock dumps are very narrow = restrictive.

Guess you can do it yourself, its just a matter of jacking the car up and be able to reach up to the nuts and bolts where the dumps connect to the exhaust manifold.

Cool!

thanks buddy, ur a legend.

Its a turbo off job for dump fitting, rear one only. Makes it hell easier.

Your looking around 700-1000 for the work

First reply doesn't answer the question really...

And if upgrading dumps, might as well do the turbo's IMO.

Just got a quote form Chasers automotive today who said it will cost $150 to install the dump pipes..? wierd. unless he was thinking "front pipes". ill confirm and get back to you.

So no need to remove anything else, just the bolts and nuts..?

it's a turbo's out job. some might even say engine out really. I don't know of anyone that could replace GTR dumps with the turbos and everything else still bolted in place.

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
