Exhaust threads seem to be in fashion at the moment so ill throw in this query.

What do people usually run on a street car making 800+HP? (btw not implying i expect it to make legal volume!)

I was thinking i'd benefit from a 4inch system, yet I have looked at all the Jap systems on most of the popular websites, and havent found anything larger than 3.5inch.

The question would then be, will an unrestrictive 3.5inch system hold back power potential?

The setup in question is a single turbo RB28.

Looking at the recent custom exhaust thread, custom could be the way to go, but for simplicity id rather a system i can just bolt in. I have heard of a 4inch HKS system, but cant find any details. Im aware that its gonna be noisy.

thanks for any help

HEY mate note what turbo set up you are running ,but im running twin turbo on 30/25 .and was running single 4 ich ,and then went for a custom twin 3 inch off dumps right through and it made a tiny bit more power ,but im only running 720 rwhp at the moment ..

Just to clarify, 800 flywheel HP. so looking at the over-600hp at the wheels range.

turbo is rated at 850HP.

400kw, a twin 3inch system sounds like a lot of flow! How loud is your setup, any muffled sections or is it a race setup?

with the 4 inch system ,it was loud and its dronned really bad ,but that was with no muffles just a rear cannon,with the twin 3 inch i have 6 hotdogs in it ,3 each side and 2 cannon out the back its not as loud ,as the 4 inch ,buts still loud ,but it doesnt dronn no where near as the 4 inch ...i would look around at 3.5 inch system .

a well built custom 3.5" or 4" would do the trick i'd imagine.. after seeing seans exhaust im quite tempted to use those magnaflow mufflers as they look to be of good quality

just make sure you use a good quality cat.. im a big fan of the catco and metalcat cat's with 5" round body they flow really well.

thanks for the recommendations, it seems 4inch is the go.

the last remaining question is are there any nice off the shelf 4 inch systems? As mentioned i have heard of an HKS 4inch system, but i cant find it, or any other 4inchers available, only 3.5's.

cheers!

Trust/Greddy have a Power Evolution II exhaust which is 94mm so close enough to 4". I am pretty sure Twoogle had one (ask Paul). I have one on my R33 GTR. Comes with a cat replacement pipe, check with Croydan Racing Dev. that is where I got mine from, they were clearance stock.

Gate is vented externally. So far on pump fuel through a powerglide its made 630rwhp

Just for interests sake, a twin 3" exhaust would have the same cross sectional area as a single 4 1/4" exhaust so its not actually as wild as it sounds. Depending of course on how wild you think 4 1/4" is ;)

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
