Yeah I was parked there in the 10min zone. Mega loud exhaust, really should invest in some sort of muffler :D

Wow the thread/system works lol.

As for your exhaust...Varex :D

Varex is good for making your car quiet. But still makes it sound like ass when your booting it on fully open

How can it? It's a completely straight out pipe when it's open, atleast on the twin tip mufflers. I say the rest of the system hasn't been done properly (or using the cannon Varex) if it sounds like shit!

Sincerely,

F1 car under Eastlink bridges :D

Agreed. We got rid of the Varex on the S15 because the note was horrible on full open.

Birds - you'd understand if you had a Varex.

It was blue, now its white

Fcuk!

It looks so much better with the Z-Tune front guards and the extra vents on the factory front bar.

Kinda like the white front and black rear colour scheme too.

Maybe I do have a Varex ;)

I'm adamant there is nothing horrible about the twin tip Varex, it doesn't work the same way as the cannon one. Circulation and everything is different. Well you can have a listen to mine if you like and judge for yourself, but I had a premium Jap brand exhaust on before the Varex and it sounds just as good IMO.

We had the twin tip too, and the CES muffler (the rest of the exhaust is also CES) sounds so much better.

Maybe you need to like the straight out sound to like the Varex? Also, RB vs SR are very different...I'm not a fan of the latter in a straight out configuration. Our race car S15s are side piped off the dump and it sounds crap imo.

Yeah will look at one some time in the next couple of months. The system I've got now is a full titanium trust exhaust, with a high flow cat and just the cannon. It sounds incredible under full boost, and also in the eastlink tunnel. However does get a bit annoying as a daily being so loud so varex is probably the only answer for me.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
