Car is running nice now that it is finally on the road. But the exhaust noise that it makes are un-bare-able. How do you guys get along with a car that is louder then mine is beyond me, I got an headache after just 30 minute of driving...slowly...

MUST BE OLD AGE KICKING IN!!! eek.gif

Anyways, to "supress" the noise as my neightbors wouldn't like it much either, I have got myself an Apexi ATS (Active Tail Silencer). I didn't go for the butterfly valve one is because I want something that is automatic, and I heard that the electronic version of the butterfly valve can go wrong and not open when they are suppose to. So full boost + close butterfly valve = Turbo in the Bin...

Saying that, the ATS silencer does open up on high load, but I am not sure how much it restricts the flow still. Right now I am limiting boost to 1.3Bar because of the restriction worries. The same setting on the boost controller without the exhaust bung will give a 1.35Bar boost.

I just want someone a bit more technical to confirm me that it is safe to run high boost (aiming for 1.6bar) with that bung. If it isn't safe, then what should be the limit.

The exhaust is a 90mm exhaust with no center silencer, the ATS is a 115mm one. The turbo is an HKS TA45S Turbo so most of its power will be from 5K-8K. It also run a screamer pipe so it will ease the exhaust flow a bit when it is on full boost.

Thanks for the help. I am enjoying every minutes of it (finally!!!)

Better off getting an inner muffler along the way, ditch the cannon and go a better dual muffler at the end of it or add a resonator along as well, much better options take your pick. Good luck with that

Cheers

mate, those exhaust thingies are shit. I have both an insertable bung that can go in the end. heavily robs power, and makes revs climb very slowly.

I also have an exhaust control valve - same as the bung. makes it a lot less powerful. revs climb about 1/4 the speed it used to. and the worst is, it's nto that much quieter.

The Apexi ATS made a difference for sure. You can talk with it in, you cannot think with it out.

When it is on boost, all valve open, and screamer pipe on full chat, its fine. It is when you are driving normal speed at 120km/h that it really kills you.

I'll get it on a dyno and see how it goes. The 115mm bung was able to flow the same horsepower on a 300hp BCNR33 GTR, so it isn't that restrictive... Dyno show no difference around 300bhp as confirm by the American magazine dyno

But it is a big difference when you are talking about double of that power. :rant:

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
