ok I got my notice and got tested:

Hi-Flow Cat, mid muffler + hot dog + HKS Super Dragger = 94dB

Reverted to a stock system (cat back) 87dB.. was quiet as...

So...it appears you would be close to the 90dB limit with a stock zorst + cannon...I assume most people have hi-flo cats etc

To assist others, what results has every1 else got on the test?

I also recieved an epa notice the other week for my exhaust. I was told by a tuner that if you buy about 10 metres of steel wool and jam down the exhaust, u'd surely pass. Then after that, just fang it on boost and inevitably, the steel wool should shoot out the back. I'd have to do this for the fact that i have an ECV welded where the diff sits, thus not being able to change exhaust systems easily. Has anyone tried this trick?

From my run in with Office Steve Austin and his bionic hearing...

Fujitsubo Super TI cat back - and when I say 'cat', I mean a pipe shaped like a cat, and when I say shaped like, I mean it looked like a pipe. Standard front/dump.

99dB - wooh!

Put a GTSt stock system and cat on, was a delightful 88dB

3"cat ,1 foot resinator :w00t: ....mid muffler :wave: and hot dog :) 95dba.

Had to get a new muffler and swapped it for the hot dog then it was 90dba at 5300RPM(RB26).

The test is flawed because the Muffler joint that tested it with the new Muffler,(which dropped the size to 1.5 inch.)told me at 3800 RPM he had me at 97dba ;) .So much for the EPA really not knowing shit about imports.

haha a few classics...

yeah so it seems my theory about stock zorst + cannon will probably be over..

which means...basically the whole world of import drivers are over - man I was looking at my stock on the car...looked so sad...was was quite overcome..

just wait for the new twin cannon system I just designed...should be on by the end of the week.

Just wondering, are you testing it at ~4000rpm?

well i doubt it, thats not where they are to be measured.

It all changed about... umm... 18 months or so ago :laugh:

RB20 is 4200 or 4300

RB25 is testing @ 4600 or 4800

RB26 is 5200

The RB26 figure is right, i've checked it. But the others im not sure about as i cant remember.

Been just over 12 months since i've been to the EPA, soon to go back though

mate of mine got done is his VP SS and racked up 129db , since then the car has been sold.

but the test must be done in an open area, the testing peice must be on a 45degree angle , 1metre away from the exhuast.

another close mate got done in his integra with a stock exhaust, all he had was a tip and they shoved the thing right infront of his exhaustand he went over the limit

The calculation is worked out on the RPM using the following method.

Power of car x(by) 3/4 =RPM of test.

I think by memory also.....no turbo rotary(RX) can pass the test because RPM of there test is like at 7000 :ninja:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
