RB26DETT engines in the R32, R33, and R34 Skyline GT-R (Non V-Spec) suffer from exhaust interference in the stock turbine housing, where the main exhaust port and wastegate bypass merge. This causes elevated primary and secondary exhaust pressure, reducing boost response and limiting overall power. The HKS GT Extension Down Pipe Kit (1418-RN005) resolves this by using separate main and bypass ports with a divider in the exhaust flange, allowing smoother exhaust flow and significantly lower backpressure for faster spool, more stable boost, and increased engine output.
Constructed with a high-strength steel flange and durable SUS304 stainless steel piping, this extension kit enhances thermal resistance and longevity under high-boost conditions. By routing exhaust gases from the lower part of the housing where pressure is reduced and enlarging the main pipe diameter at the turbine outlet, it effectively minimizes swirl and stabilizes boost pressure across the RPM range. The result is improved turbo efficiency and a more responsive power delivery that enthusiasts notice immediately.
At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply this genuine HKS GT Extension Down Pipe Kit as a premium exhaust upgrade for R32, R33, and R34 GT-R owners seeking better turbo performance. It is compatible with HKS GT Sports Turbine Kits or stock turbines, making it a versatile choice for both mild and heavily modified builds. For enthusiasts serious about optimizing exhaust flow and unlocking additional power from their RB26DETT, this HKS extension kit is one of the most effective supporting upgrades you can make to your Skyline.
