ive just started putting a few go fast bits on my R32 GTST.

so far .. FMIC, POD, Power FC, 040 fuel pump, and zorst.

my mechanic is putting all of this together and was telling me that my car wont go any different if i changed the dump pipe or not.

is this true?

i got a better idea for you get a new mechanic then hit the search button.

The stock bellmouth type on the 20/25 is more efficient than those supposed 'high flow' dump pipes. Not only can the high-flow ones sometimes stop the wastegate penny opening properly, but in some cases you can experience overboosting because the gases can't get out quick enough.

Utter Crap ! Have you actually taken a factory dump pipe off and had a look inside of it ? You will find that the wastegate dumps the Gas straight into a flat surface which is not even tapered toward the rest of the pipe. Open Bellmouth type worked just fine on my RB20. Boost came on earlier, ramped up to max Boost faster and top end power increased also

^^ exactly right. Stock dump pipes are garbage. You will notice that your turbo spools up a bit quicker too and the wastegate flap only has the potential to get stuck if you have a split dump pipe. Go bellmouth.

Are you the same mechanic?!?! My god, what utter rubbish.

Get a good bellmouth, all in one, dump pipe or a well known split pipe (yes there are cases where the wastegate hits the dump pipe, but this is usually an issue with aftermarket internal gate turbos, not a stock one.)

TRUST me, it will make a difference. However you should have done it before you got the power FC tuned, as the stock dump is a restriction and you wouldn't have had the best gains when you got the FC tuned.

I got a JJR stainless BELLMOUTH dump/front... Threw the stocky out, forgot to take a photo, but it is pretty much flat over the wastegate half :banana:

best mod i ever did was that with a catco 3" cat(already had a catback), so much more responsive, rolls for longer when i lift off etc, and heaps better economy!

Yesterday my brother put a new DUMP pipe on his Stagea Wagon. He had cat back exhaust before hand. He said its the Best money he could ever spend, he said it sounded good before, now it sounds like a car possessed, not to mention much better spool up and mid range.

I got one on my R33, its a BATMBL dump, love it to bits.

I know its not an R32 like yours, but the difference will blow you away.

U will definately notice a differnce. I did the same things as you.....FMIC catback pod but no dump pipe and i could feel it was restricted

After i installed a split dump pipe the turbo would spool harder and faster....it was like it always wanted to spool. I should have got the dump pipe before anything else

U'll love it

+20 for new mechanic ;)

Don't give your car to a tosspot who thinks that the stock dump pipe is a quality item.

The next thing you know, you'll be parked on the side of the road with a 500m long oil slick in your wake, with parts of the engine scattered all over the place because he thought you could advance your timing 40 degrees with 35 lbs of boost on regular unleaded whilst using the quality stock injectors.

Dude, really......................... Find someone else.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
