ive had to move my r33 gtst about 30meters without an exhaust on today and i will have to do it again for 50 meters tomorrow, will this cause any problems???? i ask this question because the idle was everywhere and in the short drive there is allot of loss in power.....

yes yes i know epa and cops would love to be there when i start her up tomorrow morning....

anyway the car sounded like a dragster without an exhaust, i mean not just the cat back, but from the turbo.....

cheers

no there won't be a problem. plus it will sound ful sik.

actually I'm surprised you noticed it drive differently it should be the same. just a shitload louder

if the idle is uneven you probably have another leak somewhere on the intake side

yeah sounds like a rotary dragster lol fully ssic....

well i didnt rev it past 1500rpm so i really cant say for sure but i thought it might have been weaker.... could just be my imagination....

ahhahahaah yeah i forgot to reconnect one of the pipes from the engine lol, i didnt disconnect it so i didnt know it was un done.....

the video turned out like crap due to video phone so its already deleted..... its not hard to take of the exhaust, just 4 bolts and 2 nuts and its off....

if i have a free hour and a good video amera i'll do it again and post it up for all to see....

also i was told running a car without an exhaust is an $8k fine, ive heard something similar before but does anyone know for sure????

anyway my car is now a full turbo back exhaust and still sounds awesome, nice deep gurgle, very tough sounding... i do recommend a full turbo back exhaust and highflow cat for any car...

After doing my RB30DET conversion all I had was the dump pipe off the turbo, the exhaust shop was 7km away and I drove it there without any problems, the only difference I noticed was noise and the smell of running without a cat ; )

you will never guess what i just did

i removed my exhaust just leaving the down pipe. i have always wonted to but never could be stuffed

so this was a good reason

it is not going to cause to much damage because there is a little heat shield

but taking of the exhaust will only make that car sound like a dragster but i didn't put my foot flat so maybe the car could run better with the turbo going all out

i'm putting a video of it on you tube

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
