Hi all,

I've read several discussion forums now about the merits of an aftermarket dump pipe and matching front pipe. There seems to be some dispute as to whether to include the separate pipe coming from the actuator and rejoining it later or just have one big pipe. I'm looking for all your opinions/experiences as this mod is one i'm planning on doing soon.

Also, did you guys get a Japanese pre-made pipe or did you get a Perth exhaust shop to make you one? If you did, where did you go and how did you find them?

Cheers for all your responses.:)

Thats separate pipe coming from the wastegate, the actuator is the round diaphragm thing on the outside that controls the waste gate.

As most std dump pipes have a solid plate for the wastegated gas to hit and then try and turn 90 deg and mix with the rest of the gas coming out then logically, that is not good.

The one big pipe scenario is ok but still put a splitter sheild between the two outlets ( wastegate and main turbo exit gases ).

Is what is done with a lot of Rexes with good results.

The seperate pipe for the wastegate which blends in further down has got to be a better way of exiting all the spent gases and a quality local exhaust shop could do it for you at prolly a similar price to a new Jap one.

Had a dump and front pipe built by Exhaust Dynamics - they do mainly performace work and it is all to a very high standard, all welding is cleaned up inside the pipe as well to ensure the best flow.

The type of dump style they use is a integrated turbine and wastegate arrangement - as recommended by Per4manz (they do the custom work for Per4maz)- for stock turbos as being the 'best'.

The guys are really professional and very friendly. Showed me the pipe after they had built it, prior to fitting. Total cost for a mild steel is $350+gst ($385) or stainless is about $100 more.

Can only recommend them.

The sepparate wastegate pipe design can be a problem on the stock turbo and is not proven to produce any better results.

Around $400 in 3inch stainless is what Quick fit exhausts in Morley charged me for the dump pipe to the cat. It's very well made. I wrapped mine in exhaust tape for good measure as well (DEI tape from revolution racegear costs around $100 for the 2inch wide 60ft roll).

    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good? 
    • Nice, is there a post with the new 4" dyno curve?
