I am from the States and I find that you guys are more knowledgeable in this area than I am. I have a 1994 Gts25t and I just bought a down pipe made by XS. Has anyone ever heard of this downpipe with dual chamber? I plan on running the car without a CAT. I have an HKS cat back exaust on there as of right now. I bought the car and had it brought in through Motor-ex and I still do not know exactly what exaust I have on the car as it came from JAPAN that way. Can I adapt that XS duelly pipe to the HKS (?) exaust I have on there if I just weld a custom straight pipe? Also would I need to get a new turbo exaust manifold for this duelly XS dump pipe to work? PLEASE HELP The gaskets and bolts come with the XS. :rofl: fallout

Most after market dump pipes, be they spilt (dual) or not, are designed to bolt straight up, is this XS pipe just the dump part (about 6" long) or the dump/front (4 foot), if it is the dump and the front pipe is standard you would be better replacing it to the catback with a 3" pipe, if it is dump/front just get a pipe made to replace the cat.

Here is what I ordered:

ECR33 Trust MX Front Pipe

TSS stainless steel 02 housing for RB20 (same as RB25)

Here is what I have existing:

HKS cat back system

Here is what I want to do:

Eleminate the Cat totally

Here is my plan:

Bolt on TSS stainless steel 02 housing 1st

Than bolt on Trust MX Front pipe coming from housing (elbow)

Cut off catalytic converter

Weld straight pipe on other end to my HKS

WALAAA! Now I have a really loud car with good hp gains (KW)

Does this plan work out right?

Thanks for your help.

Works out great, if you wanted to retain the original setup, you could get a pipe made up with the same dimensions as the cat that would bolt in, that way you could go back to a cat, for resale or street use.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
