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.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
