New Dump Pipes With Stock Turbos

[R33-RB26DETT]

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.

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 =

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!

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.
