i got a external waste gate witha screamer but because of the yellow sticker i have put it into the exhauts but i kinda feels like the power is not the same is there any reason for this ??

was it tuned with the screamer ? maybe piping the screamer into the exhaust may have changed the a/f ratios at the oxygen sensor ? or it may just be the fact that screamer pipes offer a massive horsepower gain over going traditional that you can now feel the loss

Because they exhaust you have isnt good enough :/

Ie, not free flowing…

You need a proper, decent system if you want to plumb-back and not have issues

Tune isnt really the reason for it, its the added restriction

man doesn't matter how much you pay for somethin.. that doesn't make it good...

if it feels doughy then it's because it's been made restrictive a screamer pipe will produce the same power as a properly designed exhaust no drama's what so ever. I work for an exhaust company and talked to the engineers about this several times... It's all down to the design

the system is a little under $2200 so i think it is good enough i was thinkin it could just be the flow and the tuning cos it was tuned with the screamer

Well, sorry to say... but for $2200 it clearly isnt good enough, otherwise there would be no performance loss at all.

Nothing to do with it "tuned" with the screamer, its after the turbo... therefore tune changes wont affect it.

Its being caused by pressure build up, which is a poor flowing exhaust first and foremost.

its the plecebo *spelling* effect man...

if u think it ''feels'' less powerful it will feel like that.

HENCE- if u have a decent exhaust and have mounted the pipe WITH the exhaust flow u will be FINE.

u probably are used to the sound

SOUND DOESNT EQUAL POWAH

If your exhaust is free flowing, you will not loose any power going from screamer back to exhaust pipe returned.

I'm sure it doesn't SOUND nearly as fast though :blink:

+1

When i had my first car laser tx3 4wd, i had a screamer pipe for 2 years from my wastegate, then i had it plumbed back into the exhaust & it did feel like it had less power slightly, but when on the dyno it made roughly exactly the same power as with the pipe plumbed back.

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

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
