Matt from Daalder rang me the other day about where i got the dump; was that for you, McCracken?

Nah, I did enquire about them a week ago, but haven't ordered anything as yet. Back to re-assessing the options. One funny thing I found the Dandenong operation (Daadler) has no idea of what I was talking about re the Skyline pipes - which is a pity because they are much closer to me.

BATMBL can get some combo pipes and cats pretty cheap (see the for sale thread), so there's another option there now. I'm guessing if I went this option any local exhaust shop could fit it for me easily enough? (I don't want to try with the ramps!).

Does anyone know if need a new cat as well when I get the front pipe (due to the different flange size)? or is it simple to modify my existing cat?

Cheers,

David.

OK....

I've bought one of BATMBL's 3" CAT's and i beleve its on its way now through Aust Post.....

The Dump + Front Pipe is mandrel bent + mild steel all for approx $180 (though now i think of it I think I'm sure I was quoted $160)...

I'm getting it made by some exhaust place in Airport West - Professional Exhaust (i think) so I don't have any photos...

I work mate has been to this place before and he highly recommends them.....

I plan to goto this place in 2 weeks to get the exhaust made up/fitted so maybe we could both go together and maybe get a discount??

Yeah, BATMBL does have some good prices on the cats. For the price, I'll think I'll go one.

Why didn't you take him up on his combo dump+front pipes? $160-80 sounds very cheap (perhaps too cheap?), Nizpro wanted $385 to make a custom stainless front pipe. A laser cut alone is aparantley $50-60, and imagine how ;) you'd be if it rattled or bumped, etc.

Depending on how others go with there purchases from BATMBL (where are those pictures? :P ), I think one of his combo pipes and a cat sounds like my best option. Airport West is quite far for me, although if u do go ahead with it would be keen to hear your results.

FYI SydneyKid recommends to go stainless in these pipes as mild steel would wear too quickly.

McCracken, I think stainless is good for the dump as it has better high temp resistance, but they can crack. I can't remember what grade doesn't crack... inasnt, wanna help us out on this one?

Just a note also, bear in mind that cost is one thing; i would much rather spend the extra 20/30/40 bucks if it guarantees that the flanges are flat, it doesn't touch the body, doesn't rattle etc etc. That is mainly the reason i got a jap exhaust. This is not to say the local product is no good, just look at inasnt's exhaust - custom made and fine.

it was just the front pipe......i think he quoted me 230 or something like that for the combination front/dump in same material and like 280 for stainless. honestly those quotes are from memory (which is prettty bad) so dont quote me on it....hehe....but they were good prices though.

impressions.....looks good....fits nice....no noticable change in exhaust note surprisingly just a tad more grunty. alot more smoother/easier acceleration from stand still and down gearing. havent had a chance to fang it to see the difference in mid/top range, holdin off for cooler weather to do that.

i was goin to get the combo pipe but figured id have to get it modified if and when i put a bigger turbo in so i figured id keep the dump and front pipe separate and change the dump when the time comes.

note that i still have my standart cat so im expecting better things to come when i get the hi flow cat.

get stainless steel 304, it wont crack easily. 314 or high will crack under extreme heat. 314 is marine grade steel.

If they r selling cheap stuff check it isent 301 stainless that stuff shit as and is a mix of stainless and some other cheap materials

Havn't got anything yet...the CAT is on its way and as soon as it arrives I'll make a booking with Performance Exhausts...

Might go for the Stainless steel pipes now rather than mild steel................

      Ball bearing turbos

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
