Couldnt decide between the 2. Catco seems to have a good reputation after my search but the X-Force one is stainless steel which I suppose is stronger? Catco's got the stainless stain version but its almost 400bucks for it (I'm not really keen on paying 400 for a cat). I know a cat is a cat but after hearing/reading post on people's melting kinda made me wanna seek some advise. Any suggestion? Oh they're both flanged which makes thing a lot easier for mounting. Thanks!

Depends on...

i) how long will you keep your car (& then a non-S/S may not matter)

ii) cfm rating of each cat (the higher the cfm the less restriction there is inside)

iii) how narrow the neck is before it meets the flange (the bigger the diameter the better)

iv) how rich your tune is (for the longevity of the cat)(some say that Jap is better than Chinese)

Officially the X-Force flows slightly more by way of CFM, but the Just Jap GTR make 330awkW with the Catco. I bought that exact Catco and the car is being tuned in a couple of weeks so I am no help from a customer's point of view right now!

Is that the cheaper Catco or the more expensive one? I'm actually thinking of getting the $180 bucks one since so many people recommended them.

The cheaper one. :P That's the one I have, for the same reason you are considering one. Also, for the same reason you didn't spend so much on a cat is why I ended up with this - I simply couldn't justify $400+!

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
