hey that will be a awesome mod....i made 180 rwkw on 7psi and all i had was split dump, highflow car and 3.5" trust cat back.....sounds nice and yes its worth it and its safe even without a front mount....but once you get a front mount you car will run a lot cooler and better

Installed dump pipe (3" bellmouth, just jap SS $220), basic hi-flow 3"cat, SITC and R34 GTT 'cooler

had a 20awkw gain from 140awkw to 160awkw

already had fuel pump, adj.fpr, safcII, 12psi, that netted me 20awkw at the previous tune from 120 to 140awkw

IMO the r34 coolers arnt worth an upgrade over the r33, better off getting a proper front mount (you dont need to go massive).

the r34 cooler stayed on for less than half a year. using a return feed apexi fmic from a 180sx now along with a hiflow turbo, z32afm for 180awkw 14psi

dump pipe and good hi-flow cat will net 20rwkw

get it tuned right tho with each mod as you go along on the mod journey...

Finallyyyyy got my dump/front pipe and high flow cat done today, along with just the usuals, car sounds a fair bit meaner and the whistling is Alottt louder and comes in earlier than before :) , even tho i have a stock BOV and just an apexi pod i have been pulled over twice and tried to b defected and i keep telling em its all stock.......shits mee! And just my luck the dyno had a problem today so they were unable to tune it and stuff, goto love the timing :) . keep u guys posted on the total rwkw gain, really hard to tell just by driving it.

if you have same mods as me then you should be looking at a good 175-180rwkw.....and yes its a whole lot better now that you have aftermarket dump and cat as it will be more free flowing

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
