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.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree.
