So I am looking at getting a dump pipe for my r33. It is just running standard turbo. I have read that if you are running big boost then split pipe will help but I just have the basic mods front mount, exhaust, fuel pump, boost controller. Would I be best off getting a split pipe or not?

Thanks for the advice mate.

Personally, I'd go with the split, it's the best design for your setup.

The split design separates the waste gate gas flow away from the main pipe (where there is turbine exit flow) which is highly desirable for improved flow...

For internal gate, pretty well documented the split design provides less lag, more power, and better fuel economy

Bell mouth is cheaper to buy though...

My exhaust system (with the split front/dump) has netted me around 40rwkw, with improved response.

Thanks. Makes my decision easy now.

Splits tend to cause a lot more turbulence in the face of the dump area and actually make boost come on later

We have proved this with 3 gtrs all running hks dumps on 3 different turbos, once we swapped over to bell mouth dumps on all 3 cars, they came alive

Could this be different for a GTST?

R32-25t is talking about a split dump, whereas I am talking about a split front/dump pipe. They are different.

The split front/dump design (such as a CES Racing one) are the best for an internal gate setup.

do you have back to back proof on your own car or did you read the website?

JJR Bellmouth $179 for Mild Steel or $199 for Stainless.

I got the Stainless. Much nicer feel than the stock dump with stock turbo.

Can't go wrong and if you decide to go split later, you can compare...

Sam off JDMST who owns an S15 that runs 1:06's at Wakefield, is running a CES split front/dump pipe coming off a .64 GT2860RS. His exact words are "they are the shit", and considering his uncle works at a reputable exhaust place in Campbelltown I'm sure he would of asked for his advice before using one.

The bloke who installed my exhaust has many years of experience and said he wouldn't have done anything different with the design of the front/dump currently on my S15. I should also mention he is friends with Skola and was taught how to weld by him as well.

So the answer to my question is no,

A dump pipe won't make you run a 1.06 around Wakefield, it's take a lot more parts then that and most of them aren't even engine related

And you have an option of a guy who said it looks pretty, has he done back to back testing on a car with dyno sheets?

Sam only uses the best of the best parts for his car, hence why he is using the CES front/dump. It is the best from a design point of view for an internal gate setup (design in terms of benefiting performance, not looks btw - pretty obvious I was referring to that in the first place).

Also, there was the instance of someone using a HKS GT Extension Kit on an S15 (runs a Split Dump pipe, which then bolts to a 3 inch front pipe - this is not a split front/dump pipe). They went from 330ps with the HKS to 347ps once they installed the split CES racing front/dump pipe. So 17ps gain at peak power 6600rpm. At 5000rpm they were making 12ps more. Boost also came on earlier.

Look all I'm asking for legitimate proof of how great your dump pipe is, because I have 3 cars that have proved split dumps are not as good as bell mouth(not including all the xr6t boys who take them off and go to bell mouth design)

But another thing to add your your 1.06 argument is I have a mate with a momo steering wheel that has done sub 1 min around Wakefield and he thinks it feels great, does that make the momo a more cost effective mod then your dump pipe?

Basically I'm not going to argue with you, but in closing I will say this to the original poster.

I would never recommend a split dump as I have seen on my car and two other cars that bell mouth dumps do a better job

Once I do a dyno run in my car I will be happy to show you a dyno graph.

Split dumps are not long enough to actually get the sort of flow you will get from a split front/dump design.

Quoting power figures on changing parts can be hit and miss unless you back to back test the parts, even then it is most probably bullsh1t as there are many restrictions to flow, and a little turbulence in the dump isn't going to change it much.

Bell mouth is bigger = better.

If the split dumps opened up into a 3 inch pipe for the turbo alone, they may be acceptable, but the wastegate path is nowhere near smooth enough or large enough.

Ditch the internal gate altogether imo, they cause much more restriction than external gate setups.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
