hmm you got yours already??

Wonder when i get mine. So cant wait!!

Whos puttin it in for your emsta?? n for how much?

btw can you install these yourself? Any problems??

i've heard of a few guys with very little mechanical knowledge installing these themselves, it will be pretty easy, just a bit of a pain in the ass. Have to watch for broken bolts etc, and if they do break they'll need to be drilled out. Soak em in WD40 or something similar for a while beforehand to try and free them up.

Yeah, I went and picked it up from Michael after work. I will be getting RE Customs to fit it in along with the cat back I ordered from them. Spoke to michael, he said it shouldnt be too hard to fit the pipes on, as they are specifically made for the R32/33/34. I wanted to do it myself - but I think since Im doing the whole lot I will just get a professional fit. Plus I need to get my car serviced and the new turbo timer to be installed anyway.

So after all that, it should be running a turbo back exhaust: BATMBL s/steel split dump/front + catco 3 inch large cat + Trust Power Extreme 2 cat back :(

Edit - im expecting atleast a 20rwkw increase with the whole system. Michael estimates it to be more than that - but we will see. All I know is that the increase in this system, will be more than what I was told with the x-force (which would have been 10 - 15rwkw max)

EDIT Again - REcustoms said they will do it for 900 - that price includes the price for the cat back. I will have to show them the split dump/front and cat first though - incase they might require a bit more for the install.

shif_tea- sweet might give it a go then.

Emsta- ahh let us know how it goes when its all in. 900 sounds alright i guess.

hi guys

The first few pipes should be getting sent out toward the end of this week as they are being made as we speak (i dont have any stock atm, last pipe went to emsta). I have updated the list of the people whose payment has cleared in the second post of this thread. I will PM you each as your pipe gets sent out. All pipes should get sent out by end of next week, or hopefully earlier.

cheers

hi Guys

First 5 pipes went out today to the following people:

Zahos

Kozeyekan

shif_tea

blackbart

JaseR33

Next 5 or so will be Fri or Mon at the latest.

cheers

ill most likely be up for one. will they fit a non stock turbo? and what size are they? (please be 3 inch.. please be 3 inch)

cheers! james.

Mine came today and looks the goods.

So fresh, I can smell the sweet scent of mig welding.

Also, many thanks to batmbl on the packaging. Wrapped in bubble wrap, and coccooned in packing tape, that thing wasn't getting scratched or banged by even the most incompetant of delivery people.

Big thanks.

Highly recommended.

You will get significant power increase in the top range. Thats what i have heard from friends who have got spilt systems installed.. Also helps your engine breathe which is a bonus, so more air pushing out faster= more power..

I heard up to 15-25kw increase..

HMM i wonder when i get mine??

Hope you sent some out today.. Really want it this week lol..

cheers

Hi Michael,

Did ya manage to send em yesterday? sorry mate dont mean to seem pushy just trying to arrange for everything to be fitted .

Cheers

Lee

What sort of gains am I to expect if I get these installed? Is this a significant power up mod or just to put some icing on the exhaust cake

According to Michael there should be a significant increase - and hes right. There is a huge difference IMO. id estimate and say atleast 20rwkws - but i still need to dyno it once i get a couple of more mods on.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
