Twin 3" dumps into a 3.5 decat and 3" cat back

3in catback is too small. Disconnect the cat back and do another dyno run to see how it goes.. Also, decats are only for the sort of people who throw garbage in the street.... ie the anti-social

FWIW the Nismoid rule of thumb for exhaust sizing is;

3in for 300kw

3.5in for 350kw

4in for 400kw

plenty of 3.5" cats around....

if the sard flows the same amount as the nismo fuel pump then up to 400kw will be achievable on e85

Yeah, but the question is will a 3.5in cat match the 3in front pipe or will there be a need for an adapter?

Sard fuel pump flows exactly the same as a Nismo fuel pump.

I gained 500rpm in response time by knocking it out. Im waiting til I get my new exhaust to put a bigger one in. supposedly had a 200 cell cat in there before.

they are worse than hitler

The best logical conclusion is that my cam haven't been set up correctly when my timing belt got done after I got another dyno reading for the same HP.

5psi by 4500, 10 by 6000 and 17 by 7500....

  • 1 month later...

I have ended up with the -9's and after fitting them and running a compression test I found out that I am now needing a rebuild.. Changing the pistons, rods, cams, injectors, oil pump, cam gears etc.. would it be 'restricting' this build with -9s?

I had over 400kw and ran a 3.5inch exhaust. I never upgraded to 4inch for the reason that my tuner advised the exhaust was not a restriction.

Hope that helps :)

P.S. I'm sure there would be gains but not more than a bees d1ck (bang for buck)

  • Like 1

Anyone with a 400awkw car had a 3.5in and change to 4in and see any gains?

There's no way to tell over the internet. A rule of thumb is just that. The cat and mufflers are the most restrictive bits after the turbine, if you have a cat and muffler(s) that flow very well, you might see no difference like Marko. Ask your tuner.

If you already have a good flowing 3.5" then i would say keep that but if you need a new one then sure you may see a little gain from going to the 4" set up.

I have a 3.5" cat back making 430kw on 2530's with a stock 2.6L and is not a restriction.

Cheers

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
