The next thing you know, you'll be parked on the side of the road with a 500m long oil slick in your wake, with parts of the engine scattered all over the place because he thought you could advance your timing 40 degrees with 35 lbs of boost on regular unleaded whilst using the quality stock injectors.

Exactly. Everybody knows if you're going to do that you should run premium at least!

I am about to order an X-Force dump/front pipe and hi-flow cat. I've been told they are very good. I wanted stainless but they are double the price and apparently mild steel will last a bloody long time anyway. Agree?

Exactly what I have so agree.....having said that mine is showing some surface rust in a few exposed areas(at the bottom) was installed 08/2007

I would get a better cat though

Yeah I agree, but I went with stainless anyway.

The mild steel one will start to spot, then turn a disgusting shit brown, and then will start to flake.

The stainless won't.

In the words of Borat - " It's a nice, I like!!!"

how much difference is there with a decat and high-flow? noticeable performance?

also apparently u smell petrol alot more and get black fumes aswell?

Does it change the sound aswell?

You get flames, strange smells, and hurled abuse from Greenpeace with a decat.

Black fumes? You mean black soot and stuff? That's your car running rich. You see it with/without a cat.

you will get a nice tan on ya rear bar that is a bitch to polish out all the time just get a hi flow cat you might lose 1hp lol and the tree huggers will be slightly happy

go with the bellmouth stainless. get a better cat than the just jap ceramic highflow. they have an overpriced xforce metalllic highflow. but any metallic highflow cat will do a good job.

then get a tune

then go see your mechanic, and tell him he's sooo wrong. then do some skids as you leave. then go back and look out your window at him, and say "seeeeeee?"

then come back here and tell us how much better everything feels now that it can breath freely.

then go home and eat some food. it will taste better than ever before.

your girlfriend will look hotter.

your friends will seem less annoying.

then later on, prank call your mechanic.

but seriously, do it. its well worth it. theyre so damn cheap anyway. $200 for jjr stainless front/dump bellmouth?

based on a true story. names and places have been changed. vehicle was an r33.

turbo's hate exhaust back pressure! ANY back pressure is ALL bad.

any removal of bad gas flow from any part of the exhaust will make torque and horsepower.. and proabably ecconomy!

If your paying somebody to do work for you, and they dont go racing... find somebody else who does go racing!

Because they will be 150 000 000 steps ahead of the dude your talking to!

the more they know, the more chance that they will often charge more for work done,

but that will save you $$$ cos they actually know what they are doing and can advise you on the next logical step forward that suits your needs. You wont be buying parts you dont need and then trying to get rid of them to buy something else that 'might' work.

that help you?

So far 9 out of 10 people say fitting a dump pipe will give gains BUT.... i noticed that along with changing the dump,most ppl also changed the cat,front pipe or the complete exhaust at the same time.

I already have a 3" cat-less exhaust from the stock dump pipe back.What kind of gains will i experience if i go with a bell mouth dump? Also all these dump pipes u guys are referring to are 3" right?

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
