Guys,

Don't be afraid of getting systems with resonators in them. They can actually improve power (most of the time by only 2kW :(), and make the car sound quieter, by removing the lower frequencies (drone) of the exhaust system. a long Helmholtz resonator is the only way to go IMHO to improve drone type resonance in an exhaust system, but it has to be tuned to the specific resonance/drone you are interested in removing. Custom systems need a couple of gos to get this, but once it is done, you sell it to everyone. Probably the way Willall has done it.

Martin, I'm a bit interested by your 'diversion plates' and tubulence inducing thingy-me-bobs. I thought the rule of thumb with the exhaust is trying to promote less turbulence in the system, which in turn provides better flow and less back pressure. Hence the absorbing style muffler (straight through) are promoted more for race applications than the reflective (internal baffled system) style muffler.

Turbulence in a flow system will often allow close to double the flow rate in a given condition than laminar ordered flow. This is a very little understood piece of exhaust design :)

Can you prove this?

I guess it depends on your definition of turbulence...

Drove my ute this week to work, but took the GTR out cruising tonight with a mate from interstate who had not been in an R35 GTR before & had a real hoot. Didn't get much of a chance to go for it but just cruising around with a few little bursts made me realise how much of an improvement the mid pipe has made. It makes me want to drive the car more.

Anyone else done done similar mod to their GTR?

I've also installed th Willall y-pipe, sound seems to be getting "meatier" after some k's too. I expected it to to a bit quieter with come carbon build up, but it seem to be getting better? It's great because you can actually hear the car now! Encourages you to use the box in manual mode through town etc. Love it!

Had my Willal pipe installed on Saturday, I must say it was difficult to get me out of the car all weekend. I love the sound of the car....not sure my wife loves it so much when I leave at 5am...but I figure if I am up then she should be too.

It is interesting to note that I believe the car actually goes better with it. I have put the foot down (from low speeds) in a straight line and have seen the traction control come on. This is in R mode. This never happened in a straight line before, so I will do some runs on the Performance box and will let you know how it goes.

Very happy with the pipe, the car sounds like a sports car now.

for the super discounted price of 25,000AUD or so you can pick up a nismo titanium exhaust, or buy a daily driver...

if nissan void my warranty for the midpipe they better be ready to accept their own heavy clunker of a midpipe up their jacksie

Willalls are getting their new 4WD dyno next week (I think!) so I am sure there will be

some before & after runs done soon. There are a few std R35s in Adelaide in bad need

of the midpipe so stay tuned........

I havent had my JDM dynoed yet so will get that done before going futher..........

Hmmmmmm... those new turbos in the other thread look damn nice!

I was spinning the cores by hand the other day & you can really feel the difference.

Be interesting to see if the throttle response stays the same considering they should spool faster

being ball bearing & also the turbine is slightly larger.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
