everyone you ask states that larger exhausts are louder, but whenever i see a gtr or the like with a larger aftermarker exhaust (3-4 inche diametres) they are pretty passive and even at higher rpms you don't hear a roar. can someone please clarify exhasut noise and size for me.

thankyou

my opinion is:

energy is created in teh engine from the release of chemical energy in fuel to mechanical energy through the driveline. Of the products of the reaction (exhaust) which still contain energy this is released of which some is released into heat, some into noise and some as chemical energy still.

If you have a turbocharged car (or 2 turbo's), then the wheel spinning in the exhaust uses energy from the exhaust gas in the form of heat and mechanical energy thus leaving less energy in teh exhaust and thus a reduced amount energy to be lost as noise.

summary:

if the car is non-turbo then louder

if the car is turbo then quieter (especially if twin turbo)

Note: this explanation is purely from a physics explanation based on the theory of energy conservation.

i have a 3" straight through from the turbo, two decent mufflers and she's pretty quiet most of the time. most NA 4's are louder than it. However, bring the needle the fun side of 5 grand and you know all about noise. A lot depends on the degree of muffling your exhaust has as it slows down the gas flow which subdues the noise somewhat.

My 3" full exhaust system is pretty quiet on idle.

Following the "theory of energy conservation" mentioned above, up to 2000rpm my exhaust noise increases quite a lot like a big grumbling vroooom, due to the fact that perhaps the energy has not been used to spin the exhaust turbine wheel that much. Once past 2000rpm, where the energy would have been used for turbo to spool up and boost, the noise becomes a quiet sounds more like raspy rrrrrrrraaaaahhh.... tone.

Then of course 5000rpm plus it gets pretty loud he he he....

Not to mention the occasional "bang" from the overly too common exhaust pop noise... probably running too rich.

On NA cars, esp Civics, Excels, Integras, if they put some aftermarket exhaust, it never sounds good. All the ones I've heard on the street so far sounds like a terrible squeezed fart. Vvvbbreeeeettttttt........

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
