i agree stock turbos sound shithouse with a screamer pipe, a big external wastegate though venting to atmo sounds AWESOME but just in regards to the fines.. i recently went over the pits, no cat and screamer... nothing wrong.. and also my mate 04RNZ in an rx3... t66 high mount turbo, no intake pipe/filter, no mufflers, screamer pipe, went over the pits and was out as quick as he came in and nothin happened to him... i think nsw is a little tougher as i lived there, but still out of all the car enthusiasts i know, and deal through with work, i have never seen/heard a fine issued that big.... i do remember seeing a guy get done for excessive noise, but no EPA fines..also my bro inlaw just had his screamer pipe put on his rx7 and got pulled over, nothing came from that, and everything was fine...

ok everyones bitchin about stuff, i know of two people who have had $9000+ dollar fines for screamer pipes they are a major defect which requires the vehicle to be returned to stock before it can be driven again....

Your mates got reamed then. How can they require you to return your car to stock because ONE thing doesn't comply. You are required to make the defecting thing comply with the law and that is ALL you don't have to rip off all your other legal mods just because you got done for one thing. If the two people you know did do as they were told they were very ill advised. The police cannot require you do remove modifications that are legaly applied simply as punishment for breaking a rediculous EPA law. I say it again atmo screamer pipes off large turbo's/wastegates not only sound tough, they give less restrictive flow....same goes for exhausts. Straight through is the only way!!!

I swear so many people on here know someone who knows something who did something who received something, so many missed guided people

how can you tell if your cat is gutted? had the exhaust off when i changed the gearbox and it looked awfully empty... :P

Maybe just weld the cat heat sheild to the pipe so it looks like there's something there :(

Also screamer pipes & 2 flames FTW!

But turning a stock turbo to screamer is the gayest thing since brokeback mountain

1.) if this is for sound, just loosen one of your dump pipe bolts..

the gasket will burn out on that corner and you will hear the same stupid god awful screaching sound of an exhaust leak... this is exactly how a stock turbo, internal wastegate to atmo will sound.

2.) I work for QLD Police.... they can and will fine you the $10K...

As with any cop.. it depends on the individual cop who stops you. and your attitude at the time.

I train with a couple of them who were so annoyed with the individual driver with a bad attitude that they made an example of them..

Also, unless you have an engineers certificate for "ANY" modification from stock, you can be made to remove it.

so the guy above where his mates had to return to stock is very much possible.

de-reg and dodgey road worthy will be and has been found out before too.

that caused a larger fine than the so called mythical $10K fine..

make of this what you will.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
