got my new dumps and there is no spilter in them, anyone got any idea why tomei dont run them?

the mines and nismo and midori dumps all run one, which i think is the right way to do it,so im thinking of welding a spilter in them.

im going to be running 25psi with 2860-5s so perhaps there wont be as much gas coming out the internal gate there for a spilter not needed?

any opinions?

Mines also make a non-split dump for the gtr.

Tomei never used a split design, i think its mainly due to the length of the gtr dumps, they are too short and therefore the split causes unnecessary turbulence. Take alook at the Greddy/Trust Dump/ Pipes they are the one of the better split design as the length is alot longer.

edit: Also the Older Tomei design is the largest dia dump pipes for the gtr, the newer design (lost-wax design) is i think 5mm smaller in dia

others here seem to have only good things to say about the tomei dumps so i guess they must work, any idea why tomei done away with the spilter? i cant find any thing on there web site

simply because you don't need a split on a bell mouth style dump, it just takes up useful space.

The only reasonably split dump on the market are Trust split dump/front pipe combo where the split is like 30cm long, not 5cm like HKS as an example.

yep, the benefit of the split wastegate pipe is a bit debatable. having a big bell mouth design means allowing the gas to expand immediately exiting the turbine housing which is great flow velocity and flow. don't modify them. if you really want split pipes just switch to HKS ones and flog the tomeis. personally though I would just stick with the tomei's. :)

Here's an interesting hybrid style dump made in the US. Note the splitter is only about an inch long if that. Basically bell mouth style with splitter to separate wastegate gasses immediately aft of the turbine. Then allows gasses to merge and expand in the main body of the dump.

my garrett 2860-7 turbos (and possibly others too) have this splitter cast into the exhaust housing between the wastegate flap and exhaust turbine.

is this to reduce turbulance ? if so then a spit dump pipe is not needed

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
