Extractors are ON!!! OMG its the best value for money mod i could of done. It has the fattest midrang power ever! It has a slightly louder exaust note and i cant really describe the sound in words. but thats not what i bought them for, the power is unbeleavable, so much more torque its amazing. Cant wait to get it tuned, hopefully ill have it on the dyno in the next few weeks. Thanks again to Greg for the extractors they were well worth the money. They about a foot from the end and fut a new cone on with 2 1/2 inch pipe so i have 2 1/2 all the way through.

its not tuned properly yet, all i did was lean it out very marginaly up to 4g's. and yes even that made a noticable difference. When it is tuned i have been told to expect a 15 to 20 or more killawatt gain. As soon as its dyno'd ill let u all know.

cost me a total of 150 bucks, modified installed and a new gasket. They just cut the final cone off and made a new one with 2 1/2" pipe, apparently they were gonna be too long neway.

i can know put my finger on what the noise is that my car is now making with the extractors. Its all the sucking due to the increased airflow, it sounds like a vaccum cleaner. Im not sure if i really like the sound but i spose i will get used to it. Im also looking into purchasing an electronic diverter valve, that diverts air after the extractors straight out the side of the car.

car is being dyno'd in 2 weeks hopefully, i cracked my front bar today on my own driveway and i am not very happy about it to say the least so i now have to get that repaired the kit was only totally completed yesterday. Though as i have said the before the car has big plans and they are now begining to fall into place. I have a new block sitting in the garage, and its not gonna b NA, but it will be hopefully completed by the end of the year if all goes to plan.

cheers dude, im currently shopping for a 3ltr Vl turbo block, but after having talked to a very good mechanic, i have kinda under budgeted but it will still be done may just take a little longer. As it goes i am doing everything properly the first time so i dont have to go rebuilding blown engines as i will not have the cash, as it is i will have to work my arse of just to complete it. Its basically gonna be a Vl Turbo bottom end with the rb25det sump, balanced and shotpeened (is that right?) crank, forged pistons, GTR Head, GTR twin hi-flowed turbos and exaust manifolds with a custom single throttle body plenum and LTX-12 engine management system. Im thinking ill have it completed early next year as i am doing alot of the work myself with the help of a very very good mechanic. Then i have an engine capable of some serious power, so all i have to do is upgrade exaust manifold and turbos for some serious fun.

So now i gotta find a good block, the rest of the parts are fairly easy to come by.

im hoping to get it all done for 9k but time will tell i spose, but for now im trying to get some dollars together for some much needed dyno, will post sheets as soon as its done im thinking with my current mods well hoping for 110rwkw, the thing really seems to haul now, well from compared to how it was before.

front bar well yes, haha, i had a huge tantrum about that and we now need a new garage door, so the dyno runs been post poned as i need to get the bar fixed and resprayed another 200 bucks out of pocket... oh well.... s'all good just the cons of being low i spose...

NA_R33...

sorry for my ignorance, but...

how much did the extractors set you back?.. i'll be doing mine in the next few months as ive just spent all my cash on a house and am now starting to get it all together for the extractors and zorst...

as i've posted on another thread already i've got a 2.5" kakimoto cat-back zorst with 2.5" in and 4.5" out of the muffler... how much you rekon i spend on my extractors and the rest of my zorst?

regards... ;)

get cobys - check out the group buy that happened a month back - u should get the extractors for about $300 and get them fitted for between $100 and $150 depending on where u go

other than that u could get a hi flo cat (about $280/$300) and/or a straight thru pipe to put in place of the cat (for track use only of course!)

so you rekon the extractors ($450) and hi flo cat ($300) would be the way to go?.. looking at around $800 for the lot...

anything else you'd get done while im down there already...?

i see you're in melbourne... any good places you recommend? or websites i pay a visit to?

thanks in advance... cheers! ;)

yeah

ive just posted response in the other thread - check that out - Daalder Exhausts in Box Hill - Matthew - good bloke $100 to install extractors (including cutting off final cone, rewelding a 2.5" cone and fitting a flange so you can drop out cat-convertor for pipe for track use only!)

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
