I've got a catco 3 inch cat, heading back to the tuner in a couple of weeks to get a retune with the cat now being single cell. So should give some insight into what type of restriction they cause, I have done a few other things though, so wont be an entirely accurate back to back from cat, to no cat.

Have changed to a apexi front mount kit (non return flow type), added splitfires, new fuel pump, and "high flow" cat.

Should be interesting to see what the OP6 highflow can do on my RB20 with these extra mods, previously was 240rwkw, will post results, tune is booked for 29th.

Other thing worth mentioning is the Ball bearing cartridges works extremely well with the new SAT turbine including the current ATR45SAT, G3, SS2 and OP6 high flows.

That have made a very noticeable difference to throttle response making the car feels much "lighter" on and off throttle. Highly recommended for street driving machines.

Needs to be 100 cell 5 inches cat, no cat with exhaust Tee will give you the best result.

5" cat is HUGE! Are you recommending a full 5" system Stao? or step down from 5" cat to 3.5 or whatever?

Was this included in my turbo Stao? Or did I miss out on this?

ATR43's BB cartridges has been out for a while now. Except it didn't make much of a differences working with the older turbine end. Using the new SAT turbine there is a noticeable improvement on drive ability.

Turbine side looks like:

Ok I see. 21u high flow sounds super responsive.

Re. The cat - I'm already getting the exhaust shop to make a few mods to the trust system I'm putting on. I was thinking of getting them to put some flanges on the below.

Anyone got a view on them - only mild steel but don't think it would cause too much issue.

Can't be lowered?

Depending on how free flow every thing are. If you have a cheap cooler with an 3 inches turbo back it will be running at lower boost. Far as engineering concern, this turbo is made to hold upper rev boost and getting close to 300rwkws as possible internally gated.

Yes it is. But we don't BB 21U high flows. They are already so responsive to a point any better will cause the turbo to surge.

Seems a backwards comment. Wouldn't you be better off slightly increasing flow then gaining response back with CBB. You would have more power with the same response, and better transient response.

For evaluations, I usually stick CBB catridges into turbos with tinny housings and run high boost, trial its reliability under extreme heat and back pressure. That 287rwkws run is with Ceramic ball bearings. it starting to surge light throttle in 3rd and 4th unless WOT, very loud on dyno. 20psi by 3500RPM 4th gear manual on a RB25det is about where the surging point is.

Because the 21U is so small, I couldn't feel any differences in down low throttle response.

Something interesting I found out today - Put a pod on my car for all the choo choo sounds (not really) but it makes more boost easier in all gears... 1.10 pound in second easily and full boost in third easily.

I had the stock airbox on but I put the pod on with the factory snorkel for cold air feed.

    • Do they always do it from the AFM? If so... You know what I'm already thinking I reckon...
    • The other problem is that the pan is on an exchange basis, which would be a pain to have to send original sump to Oz for the work to be done. Would ideally need to be able to pay for a locally sourced core. To that end - I'd just fabricate one outright.
    • Not at all, pure street use, touge, even drag strip and you'll be fine   There's a larger version of it too, however would be overkill for your application. If you do plan on using that sump, might as well fit a headdrain/crank case vent to help alleviate crank case pressure. Your mechanic will also notice you cannot re-use the AWD windage trays on the motor too, as it fouls with the AWD -> RWD sump. However given your usage, you'll be fine.
    • @GTSBoy yeah but the MAIN problem is that "you" guys may know that but i/my mechanic did not. I literally spend hours to find differences between Stagea and Skyline engine (even here) and found kinda "nothing" Yeah one guy mentioned that the block is larger/wider but nothing about the oil pan. Of course AWD has different one but "everybody" says...yeah just slap RWD pan... and the parts number for my N/A engine and NEO DET were the same so iam using one from my old engine. And of course being in EU/Czech many of the sites did not even show(i need VPN to be here)... @MBS206NO it is not my channel and not my video. Dont even know the guy. I just post this as a reference cuz i have the same problem. As i said you guys in AU/NZD may know this but here it is kinda a new info cuz IF someone doing this swap they already have oil pan or they make custom one.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Yeah it is AWD RB25DET NEO Yeah as you mentioned the pick up is in a different place ...but i do not drift or track the car. It is and will be strictly street and just "casual" weekend cruiser. With that "custom" pan as shown in the video...could there be some problems?  For others. Iam sorry if that topic "looks" like i want to show/boost some YT channel or numbers. Iam quite the opposite.  I would rather drive my car thru sewers than get the attention that this car gets here. I do not have any YT channel nor IG/Twitter or TikTok. I just want some info from time to time cuz here...there is none :-)
