I quickly modified the drawings to better represent what actually got made lol.

Hopefully that will help. Just gotta be aware that not all the 4" clamps are the same, so these rings might not fit a different clamp, though they would go close.

Mufflers came in on friday. They are different to the 3" mufflers in regards to the internals. The 3" had three perforated tubes welded together in a triangle form while these 4" ones as you can see have one big 4" perforated tube in the guts. I guess this one will flow better.

Only took a week from order to delivery. Quick!

I also spent the weekend finishing off the exhaust ports in the head and I lapped all the valves in. All came up pretty good. Though the valves and seats were all cut last year so its no suprise they seated nice and easily with minimal work. Only spent about a minute on each valve with fine compound.

The exhaust ports and bowl area took me about a full day to finish off.

Should get my block back today for o ringing then back for hone and then ready to assemble. :)

Cheers mang! Im trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, no reply to my pointless email friday morning punk! Whats the deal????

Sorry brother, I was spinning out on Friday from the previous two days in WA...

Those mufflers look much better and a much better option than butchering the other ones. Are they standard size valves? Are they OEM Nissan?

Understandable mate.

You are right about the mufflers. Im happy I aborted the dodgy option and did it properly.

Yeh the valves are factory. Stock standard RB25det valves.

Mufflers look good.. were they made in aus? if so by who??

Nice little clean up on the head too-

Twin charge- I'm loving it.

Justin, the mufflers are American, Borla is the name. Come on mate I thought you would have known that! :P They are very nice and all stainless, so well priced too.

Yeh, nothing too radical since im no pro. That was my first attempt at actually cleaning up the ports, matching, and some minor blending. Its amazing how bad it is inside there.

gonna be loud with that low level of deadening material

who is brett? should we call him? :P

is that pen holder made out of old muffler perf?

Yeh I reckon it will, so im running two in an attempt to reduce the noise. Though I have my doubts that it will work, however, performance first!

It looks like it! I got my nice string of paper weights, a CP piston, PPG dog ring, bottle of oil , 1mm oversize inlet valve inside the perf tube, further across are some valve guides and spark plugs you cant see.

lol. go for gold, so long as your not in Perth, I dont think it would matter!

  • 2 weeks later...

lol. tell me about it. Im still waiting on getting my engine back from machining. Was supposed to be last friday. Now it should be middle of this week. There will be photos when I get it all back and start assembling. :)

How was your trip?

Sorry I thought they were custom done locally, re-using the borla outer shells-

So borla made them in 4" for you... cool- loud though.

Your assembally photo diary should be pretty damn good.. I havn't seen a good, step by step bottom end build log on SAU yet.

They werent custom or anything. Just off the shelf mufflers from summit. Yeh, im worried they will be quite loud being straight through :(

I'll do my best to outline what I do when I check it all and put it all together. Though I'm no engine builder so no doubt it wont be as detailed or accurate as one from someone in the game.

pretty awesome thanks :), good to get away from everything for a while.

my machined bottom end has been sitting around for ages, need to find some time to get into it, hope that doesnt happen to you!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
