This still going Eug?

I wanna close off if possible, and dont have time to scan 7 pages to find out where its all at

Cheers

So far still going, think where at 8 people, hopefully can scrape a few more guys together other wise may as well close it off.

Cheers James

possibly down for a set. will confirm v. shortly.

what price am I looking at for a high-flow 2.5" cat? rough price on install?

you can pick up at high flow cat for approximately $100, install i wouldn't know not a hard a hard job tho.

Needs to be fabricated to....

yes, they keep a few in stock but for large orders they need to fabricate.

this is actually an old thread from last year, we've just used this one instead of making a new one. as a lot of the older information is still quite relevant.

with the addition of 4 door love we have 7 people, another 3 more would be good and we can go ahead.

Got my extractors at work today ... nice and orange lol

Just a quick heads up to people ...

I asked for a 2.5" oulet and they sent me a set of extractors with a 2" outlet ...

dunno why or what I can do about it ? I thought they only came in 2.25 or 2.5 inch not 2 inch ... I measured up with vernier calipers and it came out to exactly 2 inch ...

currently have a 2.5" exhaust system ... might have to get the exhaust shop to cut off the rear collector and weld on a 2.5" collector ...

will have to see what the exhaust shop say if they can cut the collector off and make up a 2.5" outlet or not

Ahh wells ... shit happens I guess ..

I am quite impatient at times and hate waiting for stuff ... when I want something I must have it like yesterday ...

Gonna fit the extractors myself and get the exhaust shop to then cut the collector off and make up a 2.5" collector back to the standard Cat converter then to my 2.5" exhaust ...

Hopefully I notice an improvement in low to mid range performance from what others have said it is noticeable so I will wait and see ...

My mate at the exhaust shop will more than likely want to put a flex joint in where the collector normally is to help with flex of the engine so that the exhaust doesn't crack so I will see what he recommends as he has done a couple performance exhausts for me in the past and has always put a flex joint in this position...

... Hope your group buy goes well :D

P.S - The extractors are nice and Orange :P

Quick heads up for people ...

These extractors are not just a quick bolt on job ... where they weld the pipes onto the header plate the welds are too large to put the spacers on so that you can bolt them on properly ... you will either have to die grind the welds down so you can fit the shims or modify the spacers somehow ... I gave my spacers a grind but it isn't good enuf to clear the welds so I will have to pull the extractors off and die grind some of there welds away so that I can tension them up properly ...

But I did notice a bloody huge difference in engine responsiveness and more power through the mid to high end range ... gets up to speed alot smoother and pickup is much better ...

You guys will notice the difference in power that's for sure ...

    • You can probably break everything and any point that's true. But with the "precautions" of building the entire engine and everything around it and with a solid tune I wouldn't expect that to happen right of the bat. 😛 
    • You don’t need to use full throttle all the time to break these blocks, 500kw at the wheels in more then enough to break them even with an occasional squirt. Hell I’ve seen them break under 400kw
    • A work around is to install the R35 card style AFM/MAF on the cold side of the intercooler piping and the BOV on the hot side piping. Works well, also you can combat the revs dropping by adding a bit more ignition timing on the idle ignition timing table to slow the rate of RPM drop.
    • Understood. If you dont have a ridiculous limit,  Tune, T's and P's are in check, and arent bashing it all the time and doing the due deligence for maintenance(inc oil analysis) then its pretty safe. 100% agree, let your right food control it to some extent.
    • So these external kits with the machined block for remote solenoid mount will only work on a NEO head and RB30 or RB26 bottom end   For an R33 head on a 26 bottom end the remote vct kit is to resolve RB26 manifold adaptor plates etc  IF you try to use the remote VCT on an RB30 or RB26 bottom end with an R33 head then  you can starve the cam journal??? I have one of these kits from bits I had years ago before plans changed  I don't understand how that tracks with this video   https://youtu.be/RuPiI22Mplk?feature=shared   This looks like I can run the v termite vct kit to feed the VCT on an R33 head on an RB26 bottom end?!?!?   Lol.... don't v have these problems on RB20s
