ahh sorry i should have explained better, yeah upgrading from the stock dump is a good idea. but i rekon changing from a 2.5" dump to a 3" will do stuff all. there is no back pressure required on a turbo car, there is already enough there supplied by the turbo :)

if the pipe is TOO big, especially off the back of the turbo, then the air wont flow away from it, it will come out the back and 'billow' around and create flow problems. the air is still hot and expanded already, so velocity is required (more so) to move it away from the back of the turbo faster, as it cools, i guess it doesnt matter, its waste anyway........

any one know if there are tuned length headers available for a VQ25DET?? i got some wicked spool times when i changed my manifolds on SR20s

Haven't come across them yet.

In fact, I haven't come across many heavily modified VQ25DET's.

i guess there isnt much room in there to play anyway. plus it will generate more under-bonnet heat too........... hmmmm

mmm under-bonnet heat....

I do like Masa's partial solution to the heat issue with the externally venting front quarter panels.

Dolphin made a vented CF bonnet, but I think that productions ceased on that a while ago...

Don't forget that the right manifold is coming around the back of the block between the fire wall and joining the left manifold at the turbo.

It would be very difficult to tune the length too much unless you go twin turbo.... Now there is an idea...

Ahh yes.. TT. An idea that has been kicked around in my head for a while.

Would need pretty decent $$$$$'s to do it and, preferably, another intake box on the left of the engine as well as 2 return piping FMIC's... ooh yeah

actually would it REALLY be all that much work. after thinking about it, just a dual input FMIC and piping from the turbo to suit might do it. i mean besides all the exhaust manifold piping etc and the turbo mounting, oil and water lines, exhaust..... a lot of work, but possible!

lol. Anything is possible with the right $$$'s and expertise

Very noice.....

and if I may ask, what did that cost you? Also, which of the XForce Mufflers is that one?

Much as with my R33, the fake trims on the dual pipes is starting to get to me, different is that with the R33, a swap to a full GT-R cat-back with proper dual pipes was only $120 and 1 hours work fitting it away..

is it loud?

It's got a nice tone, real V6ie sort of noise, actually same as the big apexi but quieter. I was told it was legal ( < 95 Db's) ...and it indeed passed rego inspection yesterday.

It still sounds nice, actually I can hear my turbo and intake sucking air more clearly now and the BOV sounds louder too :)

Understandable.

Have you noticed that in the case of the OE "dual" pipe muffler, only one of the pipes is actually spitting out gasses?

The other is just for "show".

Fark!!! Just checked...

Only the outside one is connected to anything!! I feel cheated.. :P

At least the OEM R33 GTS-T muffler was a genuine twin outlet.

On the plus side, a new muffler, now counts as a performance mod, rather than just a cosmetic change... :P

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
