Hey i got a 1993 4 door r33 non turbo im getting extractors and full exhaust system done with a phat tip at the end, my question is - what is better for general performance and reliability - 2.25" or 2.5" ? (keeping in mind its a non turbo) or what would you recommend?

Thx, Leigh

I got a 2.25" exhaust system. The guy at the exhaust shop told me that 2.5" would be a bit too big and isn't really required for a NA. He also said that I would gain a bit more in the mid to top end by going 2.25" and that the engine wouldn't labour as much going up hills and having a full car of people. It works very well and I'm really happy with the setup.

Cheers!

The guy thats doing it though seemed to lean toward the 2.25"

I guess that's gotta be telling you something. When I was hunting around for prices, they all pretty much said the samething. Who was I to argue with an exhaust shop owner. Suppose they kinda know what they are on about. :)

Either way, it will be better than stock! :bunny:

as said above it would be a good idea to measure the exhaust you have first.

if you can undo a couple of bolts and measure the internal, not the external diameter. they just go up half or a full inch bigger.

my exhaust is 3", with the extractors being 1 3/4" for the primary and 2" for the secondary.

when i got my exhaust on i gained 16.9 kW. not too sure what she is doing now with the extractors.....this is on a n/a R34.

:P

ive got 3" all the way thru wif a 4" tip..

xforce stainless steel mandrel bent blah blah blah...

it cost me 1350

yeh i lost backpressure n shit but i dont really care bout the power now until i get turbo.

it gives out the best fking sound ever but hands down. prolly 120+db wif a nice rb purrrr

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
