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

and so far isn't a prob.

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 ;)

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      By PranK · Posted

      I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?

      RB26dett R33 gtst swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".

      hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
