Fix is DONE:

Heres the pics of the replacment pipe and new wastegate dump tube







... you will need to replace part number 21184 from the original kit and move the wastegate to the new extension shown in the pics. To do this you will need to remove the turbo but thats it. Attach the included dump extension tube to the wastegates new position and the original wastegate dump tube and away you go...for reference the instructions are here http://members.***.net/turbonetics35...icsinstman.pdf

If you have not already PM'd Reggie to get on the list do so now. He will get the pipes out as soon as they come out of production..

 

Just to add some info... this fix was designed on a G35 running a Topspeed Pro-1 exhaust. With a stock exhaust on that car it made a steady 8 PSI of boost. When the Topspeed exhaust was installed the car jumped to 10.5 PSI with nothing else changed. The fix was applied and the car went back to 8 PSI steady. It has been tested on a 350Z also running a JIC exhaust and will soon be on a Z running an RSR exhaust.

 

Hey Rob thanks for posting the pics. Been anxiously waiting to see them.

 

No worries man...this should put this issue to rest once and for all...and correction....the JIC exhaust car is pending install. The RSR is installing it right now...

 

Great

 

Does the plastic underpan fit over all of this?

Respect
JET

 

Yes it does...if you look at the last pic...the wastegates new dump tube add on is about the same height wise as the oil pan...

 

Looks god MIA thanks for the pics again... I REALLY hope this will hold 8psi or one of my maps is completely worthless

 

It's held on every car its been tested on..

 

I'm just a little concerned about the clearance of the dump pipe near the swaybar. I have CUSCO's which are a little fatter than the one in the pic I think. Crossing my fingers.

I suppose I can flatten it a bit with a hammer if need be.

 

Thats a Hotchkis I think which is pretty damn thick as it is... I doubt the Cuscos are much bigger then that...

 

MUCH easier said than done, Im not looking forward to ****ing with the wastegate....

 

I have a lawn gnome I can loan you He's small enough to crawl up in there and handle those bolts...

 

Just got a PM from Red Hot Z....the fix worked for him as well. He has the RSR exhaust and was seeing really bad overboost. Steady boost all the way now!!

 

Whats up guys as Robert said the problem is fixed on my car!!!!!

I was boosting around 12-12.5lbs but with this new pipe I am at a solid 9lbs of boost!!!! This is the first time I ever get on it and let me tell you what a faucken difference this was me all last night

The install is a ***** though for those of you that installed the turbo yourselves you know what I mean.

Well anyways thanks to Reggie and Robert for letting me test it out first.

TN is the best!!!!

I will post pics of my install later....

 

yah thats what Reggie told me couple mins ago yours works great

 

Is he still sending the replacement pipe? I sent him a PM.

 

I got one of the first 2 or 3 made so once I confirmed it fixed the problem they were going to manufacture more and send them out in a couple of weeks

 

Yes, I am late but add me to the list. HKS single 3' custom exhaust.

 

Lawn Gnome --Thats funny ---Does he travel ?
