Installed an Apexi Mechnical Pully Silencer =)


Recommended Posts

Hey ppl,

Just installed an Apexi Mechnical Pully Silencer on my R34 last night at BMT. Damn my car/exhaust is quiet when the silencer is shut...quiet than any cars on road...cant rev is at all when its shut cause it makes a scary sound...sounds like a person screaming if rev above 3000 when shut. If sounds good when silencer isnt shut =)

Thanx the boys from BMT...they spent the whole night on my car...didnt leave the place until 12am.

Apexi Exhaust Valve Controller isnt that what its called or somthing not too sure i know some people that have it on thier car which is sweet, but if they do somehow get you for a epa and they do test the exhaust they will fail you with that in there. BUt still i nice toy just in case your going through a booze bus or something :)

APEXi ECV (Exhaust Control Valve)

The A'PEXi ECV (Exhaust Control Valve) allows you to control the loudness of your exhaust sound. The ECV is installed right after the catalytic converter, and adjustment of the valve is done through a cable run from the ****pit to the valve body. All you have to do is slide the lever installed in the car to get the appropriate sound. With the A'PEXi ECV you'll no longer need to get out of the car to fit a detachable silencer into the tail pipe.

Very useful little unit!

I have one on my Cefiro and it's awesome when you have to drive next to cops or cruising with your grandparents.

NOTE: Watch out accelerating too hard with silencer in - likely to cause detonation... only good for cruising ... great to remove the 'drone' when highway cruising.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
