Is this the hitech you used? I want to get this exhaust happening on my gtr as well, very impressed.

Nah, i dont think thats them. Im pretty sure theyre in Bathurst. Same name though; maybe it is them, but they just have their factory in Bathurst. My exhaust guy is away, so i camt find out atm.

Shaun.

No i dont. Im hopeless with computers too, so i doubt i could figure it out. Maybe i could take a vid of it with my digital camera, and upload it somewhere. Im just hopeless with converting files etc; i dont understand that at all.

Ok, ill check for you as soon as i can.

If you want to check the exhaust out, im sure we could arrange something (if your in or around Sydney that is). Im in Gosford.

Ill still check for you, but im sure the Hi Tech in Sydney and Bathurst would be the same company.

Shaun.

I gave them a ring and there factory is in bathurst, s i think they are the same place. If you can check some time it would be greatly appreciated as im going to do the same setup as your car.

No worries. Ive got the diff out of the car at the moment, so the exhaust is on the bench. If you need exact measurements of the centre muffler let me know. Ill be putting it back in on thursday.

Shaun.

Oh no rush man i dont plan on doing it tomorrow or anything, also im in adelaide but thanks for the offer :P
Hi Shaun, pics and dimensions my way would be brilliant also mate.

Ok, Ill have them to you by the end of the week.

Im pretty sure i mentioned that the wastegate was venting to atmosphere when i had the car tuned. I dont think it would make any difference if it was plumbed back in though. Ive since made another front pipe that plumbs the screemer in, and ill put that on this week.

Sirracer and GTR1993, ill just post the info here rather than send seperate PM's.

The dimensions of the Hi Tech made centre muffler are: 305mm long x 220mm wide x 150mm thick. As you can see from the photos, the design is centre in and offset out with perforated tube through the middle. The offset is towards the passenger side of the car.

The specs and product code of the rear magnaflow muffler are in my first post.

I dont think there is any more you should need to know to order the same custom muffler from hightech, but dont hesitate to ask if there is.

These are old photos, so i can take some new ones tomorrow when my exhaust is on if you like.

Shaun.

*****EDIT***** Make that offset in/ centre out in design, with the offset towards the drivers side of the car. Sorry; i had it around the wrong way!

Ill take some more photos tomorrow so you can see if there is more room around the mufflers if you want to go bigger. With the way the US dollar is at the moment, maybe Magnaflow wouldnt be the most cost effective option. I think mine was about $330 (exact price is in first post), but that was when the dollar was about 0.94. It might be worth getting two custom mufflers made from Hightech. There is heaps of room around the rear muffler.

I actually bought 2 magnaflow mufflers the other day (the center muffler im using center in center out) and they were $310 each! Im going to try this if its no good ill get the custom one, but i had the car int he air and should fit fine.

Thats a good price for the two mufflers. Were they the same as my rear one?

Im no expert, but i think you might find that its a bit loud, as the centre offset muffler gives really good noise supression. Ive run my car without the rear muffler (with only the centre custom job in), and it wasnt that much louder than with the complete exhaust on, which i found suprising. If youve still got twin turbos it may not be too bad though.

Anyway, you'll be able to sell the muffler for a good price if you find that you dont need it.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
