Hi all,

Hoping to get out to pick up some exhaust gaskets on my lunch break today and I know that the ID is 275mm but I don't know the ED/bolt spacing... can anybody help out at short notice? ;)

thanks!

275mm is like 10 plus inches.?????

lol oops sorry meant 75mm ;) not to worry, went to local motormate/sprint type shops and they "don't have anything that big". So will have to go to an exhaust place anyway... thanks

its a standard bolt PCD anyway just a 2 bolt gasket. i know 2.25" through to 3" all have the same bolt PCD. thats why you can bolt on a 3" catback exhaust to the stock 2.25" cat. the holes are 105mm PCD.

Cheers!!!

I only heard this last night, when I went to pick up a split pipe... the guy told me it would bolt to the standard cat-back for now... that explains it. I held off doing anything about exhaust for so long thinking that I couldn't do anything unless I changed the whole system :S This is very useful info - exhausts are always being modified. Now to find a 105mm PCD gasket with 3"/275mm ID... probably exhaust shop.

Hey Dave, that 275 is bigger than a zorst for a Mack truck. Its as big as my cannon diameter.

AAA exhausts on deacon avenue will have them if you can't find them anywhere else

Thanks Mike - that's actually the place I called a while ago about possibly getting a custom cat-back system made up. I'm going to go see them about it when I have the car back on the road.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      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?
