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.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
