3 Things...

As the topic says what size is the std exhaust on a R33 GTS-T?

Also if i upgrade IC & add boost (10psi) i know it is beneficial but is it NECCESSARY to increase exhaust size???

Lastly what do you guys think of just getting a 3" from turbo back with a split dump pipe & high flow cat but leaving cat back exhaust as std?

I dont want people blasting me saying im stupid etc especially since i have not done any of the above but i would like to hear your informative opinions & reasons why & why not.

Thanks

Hi Noel, Sort out your battery issue?

yea thanks I got myself a 450CCA battery (MF55B24R) from Supercharge Batteries http://www.supercharge.com.au/ in Arndell Park & problem is now solved ;-)

yea but is it neccessary to do it (exhaust) if i up the boost to 10psi & get get a better IC? or is it just better to do it?

if its gonna cause damage to my car cause i have a std exhaust i wont boost it all all but if its gonna be fine and just wont go as well as it could, i'll do it & leave exhaust (for now) especially since i love it being quiet as a mouse atm with the std exhaust.

Thanks

there is no point upping the boost on a stock exhaust. it won't be able to flow enough air to make it worthwhile. you need to be able to let the air out properly before you start pumping more in. also it will hold more heat in.

makes sense...

what about just getting 3" turbo back/split-dump & cat vs just getting 3" cat back exhaust?

I know both is the ideal but if i were to get one or the other which would be more beneficial?

Thanks guys..i am just interested on peoples opinions/feedback on these ideas?

Cheers

Noel

a full turbo back is going to give a better power increase, as well as get cool the turbo slightly (the hot gases can flow away from the turbo faster). generally if you get it in 1 hit (like a full x-force turbo back system) it works out a bit cheaper than buying a cat back, cat and front pipe seperately. just depends on what you want. if you were going to just get a cat back i'd get the cat at the same time.

Yeah id deffinately get the hole system it will help make the whole set up much more efficient. I also found my boost went up a couple psi by having the split dump and turbo back exhaust due to the much better flow.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
