Hi Flow Cat?

[black33gtst]

Hi guys my r33 gtst is currently running 171rwkw with std turbo set at 10 psi SAFC2 walbro pump and cat back kakimoto exhaust hks pod R34 SMIC.

Question is will there be much gain on adding a high flow cat and also a dump pipe (current dump = std).

And what are the cat and dump from JJR like?

Thanks

SMIC and std turbo would be the limiting factor, but get a hf cat etc if your planning to ditch the smic/turbo one day.

But you'll get stuff all improvement until you do.

JJR dump pipe is brilliant ...

excellent fit ... superb flow ...

when i fitted mine up boost jumped from standard 7 psi to 14psi ... which obviously caused issues with the standard ecu ...

the only trouble is that one of the turbo water lines need to be slightly bent to ensure enough clearance.

Just Jap don't make their own high flow cats though they use x-force ones

best bet ... get a JJR split dump pipe and a high flow metal cat or catco cat

I use an XFORCE high flow 3" cat.

There very good quality and good value for money.

I am also using a XFORCE 3" dump and front pipe in one, thats also a very good item!

Fitment is also very good.

hmmm i had the same problem with the JustJap split dump pipe so i exchanged it for a Xforce Bell Mouth dump but yeah go the Hi flow cat or maybe the cat replacement pipe? im sure you'll get a gain but as said before the side mount could be changed for front mount i guess....

his got a r34smic(good for upto 220rwkw on rb20det's) his currently running 171rwkw.

get the combined dump and front pipe and 3" high flow cat dude. whether its a split or bellmouth dump thats up to you.

when you change turbos THEN grab a fmic.

goodluck

Some members claim that xforce cats are good...and i have no reason to doubt them...but personally i steer clear from them...

I had one on my R32 Gtst with a HKS2535 and after tune i only got 200rwkw...that was really low and my tuner and i were scratching our heads trying to find the cause of the low power...a restrictive cat was a possible cause...i decided to go for it and shelled out $400 for a Metal cat...immediately the difference was noticeable with boost coming on much earlier and harder...a retune and run on the dyno saw a decent power increase with power rising from 200 to 215rwkw with just the change of the cat and a retune...midrange also improved tremendously...obviously the power gain was also due the the fact that my tuner could dial in alot more ignition timing due to the reduced restriction in the exhaust...but it proved that in my case the xforce cat was crap...

Take what you will from this but i hope it is reason enough to pass on the xforce cat...and as for the dump pipe...yes there will be a noticeable increase so if you don't have one already then go for it...

Yeh i have heard good news and bad news about them, Im currently after one now... Im either thinking of the $160 3inch X-force from JJ or a BOSS one...Hopefully i'l get good gains..

[black33gtst]

been quoted $250 fitted for a 4" magnaflow highflow metal cat

[limpus]

I have had good results with the magnaflow ones too...i'd be inclined to go magnaflow over xforce...and recently the metalcats seem to be having a bad rep due to it collapsing...hasn't happened with mine but i'll monitor it...

$250 for a 4" one seems decent...

Yeh, i just changed my mind! not going the xforce ones now... where can i find metalcat? if so can you post the link thanks.
