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:

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
