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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
