open dump waste gate
ok i got a 92 civic coupe with a stock b18b motor. running a .57trim no name turbo. i have 2.5 inch exhaust from the turbo back and a little resonator at the end. now my main concern in my obx wastegate that dumps under the hood.
having such a open exhaust would i have to worry about back pressure when routing the dumb back in down stream. personally i dont like loud exhaust notes under the hood, i prefer to be able to here my turbo working.
i know the main advantage of a open dumb is less back pressure in the exhaust pipe for the turbo.

Re: open dump waste gate
Open dump would help with boost creep. Routing it in makes it quietter and I think smoother or something, idk. On a DD it's fine routing it back in. Or you could put a little muffler on the dump or something.

Routing your dump back into the exhaust shouldnt be an issue for you, but I would suggest going with a bigger exhaust, as turbo setups like to be able to breathe.
routing the dump tube back into the exhaust system will quiet things up for sure, but I dont see any benefit in being able to hear your turbo work. If something were to go wrong with your turbo you would
A. Feel a noticeable loss in power
B. See a **** ton of smoke spewing from under your hood/exhaust

Some people don't like the SSSSSSSSBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA of the open dump tube.

I do. theres nothing like hearing the sound of an open dump, run a youtube search on supras, its absolutely beautiful.
And theres nothing like being able to deafen a bastard who cut you off in the summer with their windows down with an open dump.

Re: open dump waste gate
Now how bout this question which makes sense to me...if you are going to run it back into the exhaust wouldn't a 44mm WG do better than 38mm with boost creep?

Re: open dump waste gate
If youre creeping, it wouldnt have anything to do with routing it back into the exhaust vs open atmosphere dump.
Most of the time youre creeping with improper wastegate placement, inadequately sized wastegate for your setup, and * turbo size vs wastegate pressure. I asterisked the last one because its one I havent researched much. I found through researching threads on clubrsx, that sidewinder customers of peakboost and full race were complaining of boost creep on their manifolds despite running 44mm wastegates, I believe the end verdict was turbo size vs wastegate pressure.

Re: open dump waste gate
I have always run closed-loop wastegates. With both 2.5" and 3" downpipes/exhausts. And with RevHard and DRAG cast manifolds (wastegate placement on #1). TiAL 35 and 38mm wastegate. No boost creep. Nice and quiet all the way to 28psi.
I did spike to over 40psi this morning since it was < 18*F. :-\ My 4th gear is set to something like 77% duty cycle on the boost solenoid and that spiked me pretty hard this morning lol.

Re: open dump waste gate
The general consensus from what I've been reading is that unless you're going for big power, 2.5" is fine and the difference between a 2.5" and 3" was marginal. Coupled with the cost of replacing your exhaust with a mandrel bent 3", it's probably isn't worth it, IMO.

Re: open dump waste gate
Go and ride in 3 inch exhaust NA honda and come back to a 3 inch exhaust turbo honda and tell me how much more quiet it is.
Ive got full 3 inch all the way back to a magnaflow muffler and its quieter than all of my friends 2.36 inch N1 style exhaust systems.

Re: open dump waste gate
I think I'm going to run a oval magnaflow muffler at the end and maybe a round one up as close to the flex as I can. That should make it pretty quiet with a nice deep tone.
