Catalytic converter

[Jonesyy]

Hey All

Just wondering if anyone could help me out by showing me where the cat is on a zd30 D22

not to sure if it is in the engine bay or underneath


cheers

It's the fat part of the turbo dump pipe.

The only good cat is a dead cat!

I agree, but to replace with a high flow is big$$$. I have seen a few eliminator pipes on line that will “fit factory”. But a little unsure, any ideas?

The one i've got my hand on in the pic above i got off ebay a couple of years back for something like $320, it has a cat converter in it.

You can get high flow metal core cats off ebay for a couple of hundred bucks...

Cheers, I have found also a full turbo back system 3' for $490 not sure on postage. might be worth saving the Cash for that.

Capa are a good bunch, my mate supercharged his stato years ago with their product and was very impressed. Ill have to email then and ask about the D22 2.5.

 

[Herbie83]

they got back to me very fast, and will post the 3'(s) of pipe magic to my door!

I'm in Bendigo they said $60 to the door. Never done an exhaust before, but cant to too hard.

Soak the dump pipe nuts with penatrine for a week before you attempt to remove it, will make life much easier and your knuckles will thank you

That's what I thought hahahah.. not doing that again in a hurry. Took a good 5 hours to get the old one off and probably an hour to get the new one on lol.

The zd30s have a bit more room at the back of the motor though. Mine is a yd25 and I ended up having to undo the nuts holding the turbo to the manifold and push it down to get enough room to change the dump pipe. That was with leaving the studs in the turbo though, there's no way I had any hope of getting enough room to take them out hahaha

 

[dylan the villian]

I have jap a built yd25, same as bods time wise. Although I didn't have to remove turbo and just used original studs, such a pain to get off the dump though

 

[Herbie83]

Right! Loads of confidence! I did have a look at it the other night. rusted as all shit! but will just keep pumping it full of lube, hope it makes the change over a little easier. My ZD has heaps more room to move then the mates YD, that's a bonus. cheers for the heads up lads!
