Installed the pipe on weekend, took about 4hrs, mostly just spraying the rusted bolts with rp7 and waiting around for it to work its magic. A couple of questions though, did anyone else notice that if you give it some it seems to over boost? on the drive to work this morning i put the foot down about half way to work (gives it about a 10min warm up) then a soon as the auto kicked back the turbo spool was a hell of alot louder than before and boost shot up to just below the 1+ line (didn't hear anything rattle down the exhaust pipe though, thank god), normal? should i be concerned?

i've heard that you'll get an extra few psi of boost because of the lack of restriction in the exhaust. I wouldn't worry about it, whats it set to normally? Or is it stock boost?

yeah stock boost; still using the stock cat and system after the dump, the power gain seem to be noticable as well, turbos alot noiser now though.

I suggest you get a boost guage now. Just to monitor and be safe.

Yup i noticed the difference immediately. Spools up much quicker, sounds better, more inductions noise, more kick, better sounding car.. what more do you want..

Hmm howd u use your existin gasket?? wouldnt it be to small?

no probs with using the existing gasket, what do you mean by too small?

ohh sorry meant at the end of pipe connecting to hi-flow cat..

I had to use a new gasket for that.. but all good!!

yea i just used the orginal gasket, still was in good nick; getting the rest of system done soon so its going to be replaced anyway.

installed mine

took about 4 hours.....pretty much bolt on...some very minor adjustments to mine

turbo spools early...goes harder throughout the whole rev range and very responsive compared to stock

great product

    • 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.
