http://www.smb.net.au/ Pete, ring these guys and ask for Grant. Intune and I (I haven't started mine yet) are running 4 inch systems with 2 mufflers on them. The mid muffler was 14 long x 8 wide x 5 tall and the rear is 16 long x 10 wide x 7 tall with an offset in the rear. VERY quiet, no drone at all... on the freeway you hardly hear it. Highly recommended, would use again. Roughly $720 for the pair. They can make whatever length you want also. The guy that did my car ran these same mufflers but shorter versions on a 3.5 system that was behind a Barra 4.0 in a R32 GTST. He is ripping the mid muffler out as it's TOO quiet.

Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

A 4 port gives better control over a wider spread of pressure. You can get away with less spring in the gate incase you want to turn it down (wet track day etc). Scott wanted 2 valves and considering I didn't have a setup yet, that's what went on. One valve per gate. Going off "Intune's" car, a combo of 1 bar springs gave a gate pressure of 19 psi or so (going off the tial spring sheet). I've put 0.9 bar springs in. See how we go. -

Finally, something worth updating about! Gearbox is back in! Fabrication of PS res is mostly done. The 2 x 4 port MAC valves are mounted. Airbox, gate lines will hopefully be tomorrow. Transfer case to front diff shaft uni joints are rooooooooooted. Thats away getting sorted ATM. -
Run a Nitto or Tomei? Just keep off the limiter (although I know you love it). It's not that hard lol.

They're also very small. 570 cc vs 440 cc of a factory RB26. Waste of time! How much power are you after?
-
Both nuggets Both restrictive Buy a couple quality universal mufflers and get a cat back custom made. Will sit better, be quieter and make more power. If you don't care about power then the Kakimoto is great. My advice, don't bother. They're a waste of money.

Bit of a copy paste job from the OS88 vs Holinger thread but I'll plonk it here also... For those interested in an OS88, here is the oiling issue that needs to be rectified before you put it in the car. The little slot where the light is coming through is the breather for the box. There is no cover for it and the gear acts like a paddle wheel and pumps oil up the hole and through the hose. So a cover will be made to stop this. The oil breather fitting also needs to be drilled and tapped. My fitting popped out once it got in the car. OS must use clag glue to secure the fitting... it doesn't last. I am also changing the sensor that lives in the bell housing. i should have the box back by the end of the week ? -
Os88 Vs Hollinger Decision!
Piggaz replied to Buraz's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
88's are made in Japan. Helical cut gears, so quiet while driving (No louder then standard really). Dog gear engagement - 6 speed sequential. -

RB26 -7 upgrade suggestions for optimum performance
Piggaz replied to RB335's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Eh, ditch it all restrictive shit and put a single on it ?. But people buy R34 dumps for a reason. No one "upgrades" to R32 or R 33 dumps. R34 dumps are the biggest and get sold for cheap. They're bigger then anything else stock. Do some measurements and come back. It's the "cheap upgrade". -

Not sure if serious... or taking the piss :/. -
380 would be getting up there with the 7670. 8374 I would say.

An external gate not designed to take heat? It's bolted to an exhaust manifold and has exhaust gas running through it! It's gonna make sweet FA difference if you have two next to each other. If you're that worried, run the Tial MVS gates and run water through them.
-
Why is the bottom gate position so terrible? Plenty is 6 boob manifolds getting around like that. I don't think there is an "easy and cheap" way out of this. It's a prick of a job, to do it right and neat takes time. Cough up.

Intune (Nick) has. Car is running. No issues. I too have bought the Godzilla kit. Car is yet to run.

Johnny is the man....

This is a bit of an interesting one. Over the years I've heard some pretty wild claims with using two gates vs one gate on a twin scroll single turbo setup. 200 RPM, 400 RPM, 500 RPM even 800 RPM. Has there been anyone that's done some sort of back to back with it? If there was no gain AT ALL why do people use twin gates in the first place? It would certainly save a lot of money in hardware and fab work that's for sure!

Yes. By a significant amount too.
