Howdy. Just had a (Kakimoto) 3inch centre to centre oval shaped free flowing muffler welded on, to replace the restrictive (Fujitsubo) 3inch offset to centre muffler..... bought the muffler from a wa sau member for $65 delivered so I got a bargain for sure.

Tuner was saying the Stagea needed a free-er flowing muffler so he could get the tune right in the higher rpm area (was pinging up top end as the highflow turbo couldnt flow out enough exhaust gasses thru the muffler, and didnt like to be pushed past 14psi). Now its as right as rain.

Problem: droney below 2500rpm, above that mark when the turbo is in use the exhaust is fine and reasonably quiet (really hear the turbo and the induction noise above 2500rpm and the droney exhaust sound is gone). However most of my driving is in city traffic below 2500rpm off boost, and its a tad loud for my old ears.

What do I need to do to keep the high flow exhaust gasses coming out but reduce the sound a bit when its off boost? I was thinking about a 3inch resonator. However, would another small bodied 3inch centre to centre straight thru muffler be more suitable? ie add a resonator or another muffler just after the cat converter?

what do the resident experts suggest?

cheers in advance

Hey,

I just had a new turbo back exhaust put on my R34 GTT.

I have an oval resonator between my CAT and muffler and its not very loud around the 2500 mark. By that i mean, its louder than stock, but not illegally loud. The resonator is fairly large so it quietens it down a fair bit... i would recommend one of them... as the hotdog (long and slim) ones wouldnt be much benefit if your looking to lower dB's...

IMO.

Hope this helps.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By eli995 · Posted

      (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)

      This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.

      I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
