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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
