hi, having a bit of trouble with my car, only mod is a full 3 inch exhaust, and the recepace all purpose boost setting.

seems to take a long time to rev out.. like once it gets to about 4,500 rpm there is no more power coming and i can hear the turbo sort of 'screaming'...

also at lower rpm, like just starting to boost, the turbo definatly makes a 'rattling' sound like bearing maybe, as well as a more pronounced induction noise, and a general lack of performance. This has been happening for a while before the exhaust went on but now its a bit worse.

ive checked and at least no oil in radiator or smoke out exhaust.

Ive looked for any leaking lines from turbo and cooler but cant see any..

I was guessing i maybe need a fmic to cope with the extra boost as the problems get worse once i have been driving for half hour(ish)

I'll be taking it to mechanics in the next few weeks but any ideas would still be a good help

cheers

Put a boost gauge on it and see what its doing in terms of boost. Besides that its hard to give advice without experiencing it first hand. Was it doing that before you fitted the racepace boost setting you mentioned?? If not revert back to stock and eliminate causes.

PS: you dont need a FMIC it will only reduce intake temps. This is a problem that needs to be rectified before anymore work is done to the car in terms of power gains.

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Kip · Posted

      Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to throw some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.

      C34 RSFour V Build in the US

      Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?

      G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.
