I have a few questions about this exhaust that some of you that have one on an R33 might be able to answer...

I have one on my car and I must say, it hangs really low around the resonator. Does any one have this exhaust on an R33 that is lower from standard height?

Has anyone attempted to bend the rods that hold it up to make it sit higher?

Has anyone been defected with this exhaust? Although I dont find it very loud, I've read that the standard exhaust comes close to the limit, so surely (according to that stupid test used to determine this) someone must have been told it is too loud???

Thanks

Zahos

I actually read up on the specs on the HKS and it's actually one

of the biggest there are avaliable. I've seen them hang pretty

low. I think its due to the straightness of the pipe..

Noisewise, they can actually get pretty loud so i would assume it

would be over.... Well.. I know of only 1 that doesn't have a cat..

:P

Can't you stick in a resonator to quieten it abit?

I've got a HKS super dragger... It's not very loud at all. Apparently I've got two resignators in the system so it's pretty damned quiet compared to other skylines!

But I have noticed that right in the centre of the car both length and width ways there is on of the resignators hanging down and boy does it get a flogging. I'm suprised its still there.

*shrugs*

I don't know but as I complain about all the time, we are kinda slow. I don't know whether its because we *are* slow or the cars I line up against have had a lot more money spend on them..

I don't really have anything to compare it to so I can't say yes or no.

I have a Super drager and when I got it I was finding it a bit loud at lower revs. I took it to an exhaust place and they fitted an extra straight through muffler which made no difference to performance and made it sound much better.

It was a very tight squeeze though, they put it in just before the rear stabiliser arm (just b4 the diff.)

Sounds really good, no drone and a lot more comfortable to drive. Sounds good when opened up!

I had them cut it into the spot where the resonator (hot dog type) one is and then reuse this also by moving it between this new muffler and the existing super drager resonator. It was a straight thru 3 inch type and it cost $170 fitted.

I know some might say that the Super drager is 3 1/2 inch so why did I go 3 inch, well 3 inch is still plenty big enough for heaps of flow (if anything 3 1/2 is a bit much) and when I upgrade the rest of the exhaust (front and cat), I doubt I'll find a front pipe or cat which is bigger then 3 inch, so seeing as it will only flow as well as the smaller link in the system -

It makes no difference to power (compared to std super drager) but made it sounds heaps better.

ps. watch where they put it because it is very tight for space

pps. sort of similar to the 3 inch resonator/muffler listed on Unique Autosports site but a little bigger.

    • A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?
    • Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?
    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.
