I finished the new exhaust today, thanks Cam for helping. :woot:

I managed to keep the pipe as straight as possible given the tight space to work with. 3.5 inch dump (flattened for clearance) into 100cpsi cat and 3 inch front pipe. The rest of the system is Cam's old 3 inch one, Legalis is it? It still sounds louder than I want... The price you pay for a performance exhaust I guess.

Have yet to drive it so I will let you know my thoughts tomorrow, I will also have to get back on the dyno and tune for this and the boost controller so hopefully good gains. :woot:

NICE!!!

Thats hot scotty.

PM about your old exhaust. Keen on making another one of those front/dumps?? Ill buy one...

Lol, If you buy the old system wont you be jealous when your brother rips one of the new dumps out? :woot:

I can make more of them but you can only imagine how much time that many welds takes. I haven't priced them up but they wont be cheap... Also, they are a bitch to fit. What's your tool selection like? It could be worth a trip down.

nice exhaust, good that you gave it a go yourself dude... rather than paying a pro to do it...

the welds are okay for a beginner...

did you really have to "flatten" the front for clearance? liek the 3inch wouldnt fit at all?

interesting concept, although i will be doing mine a little differently.

but seriosuly kudos for doing it yourself, love your style

when i finally decide to do mine. which shouldnt be too long away...

i only got my car friday and its not complied yet lol

ill be able to make more for anyone who wants one... and i wont be charging much, if anything at all...

ive made 3 or 4 custom intercooler kits for ppl when i was in the drift scene. and i only charged like 50 bucks labour. and they had to pay for material. (trying to help ppl out)

where i work we make huge ginormous tanks and vessels. for CSL (who make the drugs and vaccines for everyone) and food tanks... so all we do is bust our ass, and then the truck comes and picks it up.

and thats it. we dont ever get to see the customers reaction... so because when i do stuff for peoples cars. i get to see thier reaction i almost feel bad charging them lol

Anytime mate.

Still louder? How does the Mrs feel about the sound & volume?

How did it sound when warm (it is a bit loud when cold - as is the Nismo exhaust for that matter)

Its almost silent at idle and cruise but as I get on the gas it becomes much louder, old system was the other way around.

I had to lower the boost back to stock for now as its running leaner again. I have booked some dyno time for Thursday.

Mrs likes it. :P

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
