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.

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
