Hi,

I was wondering if i put a STANDARD RB25 muffer on my *HOT UP* 1.3lt Starlet turbo, would that consider as an upgrade since a standard 2.5lt turbo still by theory flow more than enough for a 2.5inches aftermarket system on a 1.3lt turbo anyway?

Only reason is i've got a 5zigen cannon on it at the moment and its really anoying.

Cheers

just get a proper 2.5" system made up...saves you time and hassle...a 2.5" system on a starlet turbo is about right...i've even seen good results from a 2.25" system...

Mate,

I've got a system, its just the cannon on it that anoy the crap out of me and i'm ain't going to spend $$$ on another aftermarket muffer so i was thinking even standard RB25 muffler should DO THE TRICK.

I had a TX3 turbo ,4wd. Had a big system put on it but the droning noisy was giving me a headache. I tried everthing but couldn't fix it. Went to an exhaust place near me run by an older guy. The problem is with these smaller engines at normal cruising speed is the exhaust gas doesn't fill the muffler so you get this surging and resonance. He had up a mute, really just a washer that fitted in the tip to back choke the muffler and keep it full.

worked wonders, got rid of the droning and since it is so far from the engine it doesn't cause restriction probs.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
