hey guys im a noob at this so please excuse me if its already been discussed. searched and couldnt find an answer.

atm my R33 has a 3" cat back exhaust and im guessing into a high flow muffler.

now i want to finish of the exhaust system so obviously i need a bigger dump pipe and a highflow metal cat.

now my question is if i get a 3" dump pipe into a 3" high flow cat would that be good or would it be to much of a free flow??? the car is running stock boost, stock BOV, Stock cooler and panel filter in stock box so the exhaust is the only performance mod done so far.

also the dump pipe would bold straight onto the turbo im guessing???

also coz of the full exhaust done would the stock boost go up a tad or will it still remain at 7psi??? iv been told coz its more free flow now my boost will be raised to prob 8psi or so. is this correct???

im still in the learning process of how it all works so please excuse the noodness :blink:

thanks

Ash

A 3" hi flow cat and 3" dump/front pipe is all you need to finish the exhaust off.

If you just get the dump pipe the front pipe will still be restricting the flow. So what you would ideally be looking for is a 3" dump/front pipe.

Yes the dump will bolt straight onto the stock turbo.

You will see greater power gains with the exhaust system finished off, and will get more boost yes. 8-9psi

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
