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

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
