Well said Craig, f##ks me why people want to keep re-inventing the wheel...

Why believe anyone who's done EXACTLY what you're gonna do? What would they know anyway?

didnt someone re invent the wheel?

to make it BALL BEARING! Thats what i did :) :)

Just seems to be a contingent that keep going "blah blah from such and such, says blah, so why would a dump pipe do anything?"

There's a crapload of evidence that says a dump pipe is seven shades of awesome; so why argue, just benefit from the research & investment of others. Never once seen a dump pipe on a factory car that couldn't be improved on.

sure thing!! at the rate we're going now i am going to make more than enough.. i am not sure we will do this again, so i will have some spares for a few latecomers, i've also noticed in the last 5 months a bit influx of volvo owners so we'll try cater for them too.

picking up flange today.. so we're getting closer to starting!

If it is anything like the beastly unit he made for me or the even larger (!!!!) dump pipe he put on his own M35, you will certainly notice quite a difference :P

He said its bigger its virtually a 3.5" from the mouth of the weird looking flange, to 3" connecting to the rest of the exhaust..

what do you think I should notice?

1. Definitely the response from the turbo. With little to no restriction on the exhaust side, it will come on boost harder and earlier.

2. More power throughout the rev range as well although it will be more noticeable in the low and mid revs.

Only down side (if you can call it that) is that you may have a little trouble with your turbo getting enough air from the intake... I know I did.

Maybe hit him up for a suction pipe as well while you are there on Saturday.

I'm pretty sure thats about the same size we've used before.

So, another week has passed. How is everything progressing? I know everyone's busy and it's only going to get busier as we get closer to Christmas.

Do you think an ETA of late this month is acheivable? (Can you tell I'm keen to get mine...? :) )

Cheers

haha yes can tell your very keen, i am off work at the moment and i'm getting everything i can organized to get it started..

however my friend who will be doing all the fab is very busy when hes not working his 9-5.. after work hes usually found working away on his new set of monkey bars..

I'll keep pestering him tho! and try aim for end of this month or early December

Cheers Angus. I'll leave you with it for a while and keep an eye on this thread, or check in with you again in a few weeks.

BTW, that looks like an interesting project you've got going on in the pic.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
