Racing Performance Works Dump Pipe Kits

[Mitsiman]

For those interested, RPW has started production of our dump pipe kits for the Mitsubishi Galant.

We expect our first stocks to be available sometime Febuary from manafacturing. These will be manafactured in stainless steel piping, and utilise 2 1/4" pipes off each turbo into a 2 3/4" outlet and flex pipe.

These are being made to bolt up to the factory system, with gaskets supplied although we would recomend a larger exhaust for maximun gains.

RPW has been suppling performance products and manafacturing our own products for many years, some who know FTO owners, would know that we have been supplying products to the UK and other areas for years now.

The main thing, is that because we are mass manafacturing these the price of these units (Minus shipping and import taxes) will be around $350.00 AUD$ per unit which is far cheaper than the japanese products.

We have an agent in the UK area, Eurospec 2000 who will more than likely be marketing these units as well.

For those interested, here is a link to our website on this product

http://www.rpw.com.au/shop/index.php...roduct_id=1495

I don't have an exact photo on hand at this time as our test sample has been sent off to the manafacturer to be made. But the unit does look very similiar to the Pro Ida units in design (Lets face it theres only so many ways you can make someting fit this type of vehicle) although we will be fitting an extra flex pipe join in the front pipe to make fitment easier as well as allow for me movement in the exhaust.

We are quite excited about this new product, and look forward to releasing more products for this vehicle as we are able to. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask away.

TD-05 manifolds

[Kieran]

Oooooh!!! Is all RPW equipment available through Eurospec?

[Mitsiman]

TD05 manifolds, is something we are still planning on looking at, but hte dump pipe comes first.

Yes all of our products can be purchased through Eurospec if you wish. They are already using a number of our products on there own VR4 Galants

[Kieran]

They are already using a number of our products on there own VR4 Galants

I see! That explains a lot! I presume we can still purchase direct too?

Now then.... You want something to sell in the UK?

Develop a TD04 (in preferance to TD05) conversion kit, or work out if anything can be done with the TD03s - there's quite a few on here who want better hairdryers than the standard ones!

Also - I presume you've heard of PROS Engineering (as opposed to Pro-Shop IIda)? Some of their ally intake pipework would be nice too....

[Turbo_Steve]

The anticipation! TD04s would put the VR-4 firmly into RS4 territory, without killing the gearbox / AYC / etc. Oh man please please please!

[Kenneth]

...or work out if anything can be done with the TD03s

To be honest, I wouldn't bother with this step. There have been a few members who have looked into this already. Most were told it wasn't worth it.

Those that went ahead anyway got the turbine clipped and the compressor enlarged... And promptly had the nut securing the compressor wheel come loose, damaging the compressor wheel and housing.

Might as well just go straight to TD04s

[bradc]

yep that happened to me.

TD04's, TD05's or GT2554R's are the only worthwhile turbos developing manifolds for.

[Turbo_Steve]

Ohhh....GT25s...I have a couple of them in the garage somewhere.......Possibly a touch small, for all that work, though. Hmm..

[ANTHONY]

Oooooh!!! Is all RPW equipment available through Eurospec?

sounds interesting and a good price,
385.00 AUD = 165.458 GBP
Australia Dollars United Kingdom Pounds
1 AUD = 0.429762 GBP 1 GBP = 2.32687 AUD

[Mitsiman]

Manifolds are definitly something we are considering, a Garret GT25 ball bearing turbo package would be ideal for these engines I beleive, response of a TD03 with the top end performance of a TD05. Best of both worlds.

We are trying to develop a lot of products for a lot of cars at this moment, but this will be one of our priorities next year for sure.

Will discus this point particuarly on the forums for sure later.

Meanwhile, if we can focus on the down pipe kits for this discussion. Some new updates on them

We are altering the design with the addition of a front flex pipe join in the front pipe for additional flex movement and ease of fitting .We are also making the outlet size on the system a 3" outlet. WE looked at this hard and realised that the majority of owners will be modifying three exhaust. Even though this will hook up to the factory cat converter, any person modifying the car should be doing there exhaust first anyway.

Also we will be fitting a Haltech Interceptor package to a car in perth, and doing a tune and adjustment on the eletronic boost control so that if people grab a interceptor unit at the same time, it will come with a generic improved tune (Very mild tune only) but more importantly, an adjsuted boost control setting to stop the engine from hititng the fuel cut / boost cut.

We are making 30 units straight up and they should be completed by the end of January. Once they come back we will take accurate photos for everyone, and publish some dyno results.

[Paul C]

Is it $350 for stainless steel down pipes as the website says mildsteel, just thought i would check to confim price as i may be interested.

[Mitsiman]

Website is being updated, we changed our design. We were origonally going to use mild steel, but have changed it to stainless steel as our new manafactuer can do it cheaper that way due to the mass production method we are using.

[stuartturbo]

Will they clear the Cusco lower brace
Mainly because lots have them fittes may want to keep them fitted

[Mitsiman]

I don't know if it would clear a cusco lower brace. I hope it will but I won't be releasing a special design if it doesn't unless I had a car in perth which had one and I modelled off it.

[Beastlee]

I take it you could send to Germany as well? If not I may have to spend the money and go to Eurospec back int he UK at which point I could get them fitted properly and get an ATF and engine fluid change to Amsoil

[MarkSanne]

The picture on the RPW website is a PS-IIda picture (see: http://www.ps-iida.co.jp/galant/img/04.jpg).

Furthermore, in the text on the RPW site it says there are two flex-pieces, the PS-IIda has 'only' one. However... 385 NZ dollar... I'll start crying if the end result is just as good as the PS-IIda I have bought for over 700 EURO (including shipping and taxes)!!

[MarkSanne]

OMG! Just got a call from the workshop: downpipe is not gonna fit... I'm gonna go over there and see for myself how bad this bad thing is... Must have got something to do with the different subframe or something.

[Beastlee]

Hope it works out for you, if not....how far are you from Venlo?

[MarkSanne]

Hahaha, nice try Beastlee

Well, it won't fit witout major adjustmensts because the subframe is different to real VR4's. The orginal downpipe was just able to fit (with a tiny bit of nibling to the subframe, sssshhhh don't tell anyone), but this beautiful piece of PS-IIda art is just 3cm (just over an inch) too big on the first (shortest) bend.

Besides that the layout of the 'tunnel' (?) is different too so I'll need to chop the downpipe up and make some not-to-exiting modifications. End of this year I'll be living in my new house (in Gouda, that's 175km from Venlo Beastlee), with a large garage attached, so then I'll get this baby finally mounted!
