Ok, so I had a non turbo R33 and did the engine conversion and my car is now a turbo one. It used to sound sweet as. I expected a little of the exhaust loudness to dissapear when a turbo was put on but this took away heaps of the sound I loved...

I spend a bit on it too because it is Apexi stuff.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to make it louder again?!

large diametre exhaust, 3 or 3.5" system incl dump, hiflow cat and either no centre muffler or hot dog style resonator and should be quite louuuud.

I went and saw a place today and they quoted me $150 to get new piping and take one of the mufflers out. U rekon 3 or 3 1/2 inch is better? If I'm going to do it then I only want to have to do it once and want it to sound sweet again...

fully tabully mate!!!

nah honestly i get so sick of loud exhausts. my old swift was 112dB at 3500rpm (used to rev to 9000rpm btw). if u want sound then get the 3.5 turbo back with a canon but yeh more sound doesn't nessary mean more performance. I didn't notice any difference in sound from going to a turboback from a stock exhaust with a larger muffler. still sounded the same but yeh mines only 3".

I think I'll go with the 3.5" then. I wouldn't normally have wanted to change it but I just got so used to the one it used to have I'd like it back (won't sound the same I know) - but at least something similar!

Thanks for your help

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
