Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting a turbo back exhaust for my r34 gtt.

I want to know what the best size is for this type of job? I was told 2.5" would be more than enough all the way through? My mate drives a 400+ hp turbo'd car and that is what he uses. He is a professional drifer.

I always thought 3" was the go for a turbo car? can anyone shed some light on this?

thanks

Isnt the standard exhaust 2.5"??

I wouldnt go anything less than 3"

what future mod's are you going to do? and what sort of car does you mate have?

not much in terms of mods... just exhaust... air filter... induction etc

not going to be raising the boost or anything like that. Just want it as it is, but with a bit more punch.

mate drives an s13

Definately at least 3" all the way. If you're after the best in terms of performance, then a straight-through would be it. If you wanted to stay legal then look at a jasma exhaust like the Trust PE II or HKS Silent Power (do a quick search for these on youtube).

I use the HKS Silent Hi-Power on my R34, I'm pretty sure its a full 3" system. It has a decent note and not too droney. I'd also strongly recommend a Bosimporting highflow cat and split dump pipe which is run by one of the traders on the forum. I think his name is Batmbl, plenty of other SAU members will be able to vouch for this gear, its top quality and all fits together with no dramas! This is a pretty awesome set up that would suit your application nicely.

2.5inch is way too restrictive for the amount of exhaust gas you need to expel on a modded turbo car. 3inch or 3.5inch but the latter will most likely be quite loud which i don't think you'll want.

I don't think you can even buy off the shelf 2.5" kits for skylines so you would have to get one custom made and it would cost more than a 3", be more restrictive and thus inhibit performance.

I also think it's kinda odd that your mate only has a 2.5" exhaust i'd be surprised if it wasn't actually a 3".

Steve.

umm.. isn't Jasma a brand on its own? I have a 'jasma' catback on my 33.. i never knew if it was a reputable brand or not, can anyone shed some light on this? it also has some badge on the side of the rear muffler that says 'veilside' :bunny:

Thanks for your input guys. After inspecting the car and having another talk about it, I have decided 3" :(

On a side note... I know this has been covered before and i don't want to start up another thread, but what oil do you guys use in your 34's?

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
