I got 280kw at 16psi at 6000rpm. I had no cat. If im correct u had a cat in ur exhaust system?.....Get rid of the cat and I can almost guarantee you will see around 20rwkw gain and response gain as there is less back pressure on exhaust wheel.

I've got something like this

Will order a mid muffler prob tomorrow or fri and see if I can fix it all up before I go to Japan then make appointment for when I get back for another run. Just wish it wasn't 2 hrs to tuner. Driving through the city with a twin plate was a nightmare.

How far back was your dyno sheet Adam?

Based on what exactly? There is barely 5hp difference between my car with the exhaust on vs off...

My dyno sheet is on page 292. that power and psi i stated was actually at 6200ish rather than 6000, mind you its did make just over 290 before some timing was backed off.

Based on the laws off physics.. In an Ideal world nothing after the dump on the turbo, will obtain the best results performance wise. any restriction in the exhaust is going to result in power loss, thats inarguable, its just when the gains don't become significant enough to worry about. Please dont get hung up on numbers, it might not be exactly 20kw... As with your exhuast, it must be a good free flowing one

On the same time you are also running an external gate. I've also made 290rwkws on 19psi peek at 6200rpms at 17psi on the same turbo externally gated off the turbine housing. It some appears the external gate has greater gain used on stock exhaust manifold.

that's quite a restrictive cat once it warms up

Only when it's warm? ^^^

when the core heats up, becomes an exhaust restriction, this easily can be done with a few squirts on throttle on full song.

yeh sorry i keep forgetting i have ext gate and t_revz is internal, but he will still see gains non the less without at cat.

Will also see some decent fines from the EPA if caught :)

Soon enough it will be free flowing. Just have to find a suitable muffler to compensate noise and bring it down quite a bit

I might be biased here, but HKS Super dragger, it's dead quiet man. Seriously not much louder than a stock VL 3.0..

I've used Apexi N1, HKS Hi Power, DRIFT, St Mays all on RBs, and the HKS Super Dragger has been the most quiet one.

Why would it only be a restriction when it's hot? The substrate doesn't change, it just gets hot...

Eh, we're in WA ;)

Yeah that's a good point. Easy to check too. I can fully understand not making as much as ex gate versions up top but should be close as I've got extensive head work and cams etc but I would think midrange should be near identical. But looking at boost I have 13psi at 3700 while Stao's latest was at 21 so no wonder it's 110hp lower.

Going to check actuator preload next day off and see if that's ok too. Try to double check VCT ASAP. Come to think of it I haven't heard the solenoid clicking like it used to. Vct obviously affects boost curve in a big way?

Vct is practically make or break for an RB25 on vct based cams.

if that's not working deduct something like 1000rpm for boost threshold. its silly.

Well it was done but cos I dropped the car off before Sean got there and we didn't chat he set boost to 18psi max and very safe. Only made 340hp but he told me to ignore the number as he can never reproduce Hp numbers that hypergear customers expect. So I drove home and gave it a couple squirts and it feels good. Maybe it was similar power but just low reading dyno...until I compared my result to previous results and it seems lazy on boost. Might need more preload. So thinking of taking it back after doing the exhaust and Sean said we can try put 21+ down its throat

Any other thoughts? Mine is red

That's a little disappointing...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
