Excessive EGT's, boost issues (lack thereof and inconsistant), engine feeling choked/won't rev out, and more I'd say.. that's all I can think of right now.

When I had one collapse in my 32, it felt choked up and the exhaust housing on the turbo would be glowing after a hard drive.

When I had one collapse on my Stagea, I discovered it when trying to troubleshoot inconsistant boost issues.. it was only running 5-7psi when it should be have been running 15psi.

They are my experiences.

yeah manily the car seems to not like reving

it was so bad in my mates EA it wouldnt rev past 3500rpm bashed out the cat and perfect ( he also baught it for 500bucks as the person who sold it dident know what was wrong with it)

Mmm mayb my cat is stuffed, it's fine on stock boost but on high boost 10 psi feels like is stugles to build boost or revs quickly! Would the exhaust sound diffent? On deceleration it sounds bubbly

anyone?

Stuffed cat

Good cat

cat-facts.jpg

symptoms of a stuffed cat include:

Won't make eye contact.

Unresponsive to balls of string.

Less scratchy.

Loss of appetite.

Will not give chase to mice.

and many more...

If you suspect you have a stuffed cat you should immediately contact your nearest taxidermist to get a professional opinion.

Hope this has been helpful :P

the internals of my blower destroyed themselves back in the day in my commodore when i had a collapsed cat.. i suppose that doesn't help you

the thing that led me to look towards the cat was when it was dead cold and i started teh car i heard a ticking sound from the cat itself

an exhaust shop will tell you in about 10 seconds

Mine was low on boost big time. Was only seeing 8-9psi when it should have been 19psi.

The car felt really slow and didn't want to rev through the rev range.

Exhaust was quieter.

Really only took me a few minutes to figure out that the cat was blocked.

Bashed it out for a temporary fix and all was well.

Didn't hear no ticking noise though.

You sir, may have just enlightened me as to a cosistant tick sound on mostly cold starts. Please be patient, as you may or may not receive sweet candy in the mail soon.

ive also noticed a ticking sound coming from under the car when cold, will have to inspect the cat to see if its stuffed.

hopefully thats all it is and you both end up with some relatively cheap power back :/

when it happened to me i was fairly confused why i was missing power.. until i lost all boost.. luckily for me CAPA rebuilt my blower under warranty haha

hahahahahahahahaha i actually lol'd

Hope everyone is replacing their bashed out cats with some good replacements.

Save the fines, save your wallet, save your car's paint, save the world (a bit)

why paint?

i have a rattle under my car somewhere, only notice it when driving next to walls, and smell of petrol when idling still while hot for a little, could this be the cat? the boost seems to be high but im still hunting a reason why.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
