My r32 gtr, does not usually run a cat when taking the car to the track, i have a decat to bolt in its place, but this is a 3" cat and a 3" system, well some of it is 3" so it may as well all be

I'm currently making up a whole new exhaust which is a twin 3" into 4" front pipe with 3" HPI dump pipes, and a full 4" exhaust without any restrictions, Hks 4" muffler etc.

I do have in my possession a Matrix metal cat which is 4" pipe size and 5" through the body.

Wanting to know if anyone has back to back tested anything like this, will it be worthwhile me building a decat to test on the dyno and running at the track, or wil the 5" cat not be a restriction?

my mods and goals are:

rb26 stock stroke

700cc inj

pfc pro + Z32 afm's

2860-5's currently at 1.5 bar

HPI dumps

twin 3" into full 4" system straight through muffler

BP ultimate 98 octane fuel

looking for high high 300's rwkws, 400 would be nice :rofl:

any help appreciated

why even run a cat? if they are going to get you they will for something else anyway

There is a massive difference between having no cat and any other mod as far as the law is concerned. You get a huge fine for not running a cat on the street. It is like bringing drugs to Bali. You could do it but when you get caught you get f**ked in the ass.

running no cat on the street is not the go, i realize this and will be running it, the question asked is, will the engine make more power without it? For the dyno tune and to use a decat for the track

Your turbos will be a bigger restriction than that cat if it's a 100 cell. Have made multiple 550hp at wheels using those cats

How do i know if its a 100 cell, the brand is Matrix Metal Cat, can i tell by looking inside it?

good to see real results, but i suppose what i'm saying is, the cars making 550hp at the tyres with a 5" cat fitted, would they make 2, 4, 10, 20??? rwkw more if removed and a straight pipe fitted, FOR RACE AND DYNO USE :laugh:

I'm probably not making enough power (currently 350rwhp) yet to be of any use to you, but for what it's worth I've got a 5" body 100cell Venom metal cat; the car only made 5rwhp more after dropping the whole exhaust from the front-pipe back.

I would guesstimate less than 10rwkw different between a quality 100 cell metal cat 5" body and a decat pipe at 550rwhp.

Why don't u just run It on the dyno with your street setup on. Than drop the exhaust infront of the cat and do a run, you will than no if there's a restriction, and if you running a 4inch exhaust the hole way, it will be pretty simple figure out that it's the cat resticting it, cause I doubt a 4inch exhaust would.

this is very true, will do.

when i eventually get on the dyno i will post the results for others information either way

Dont be soft. Xrated down here was running nos on his stock bottom end. Was good for a 10.6 from memory

fair enough....

so what do you run in the way of exhaust Rob?? Do you run a cat, or some special "high flow" version :whistling:

have you tried different setups or with the exhaust dropped on the dyno to see the difference?

I had a decat pipe and bolted on a FIA approved 100 cell metal substrate race cat on our R32 GTR with twin high flowed HKS2540 turbos.

Yes at top end, say 5600rpm onwards you can feel some loss of power and turbo response, the higher you revved, the more you lost.

Now heres the funny part after i spent all my money on it.......its still not street legal, it will not pass emissions testing, it does not meet the requirements, its just a race cat for classes that specify a cat must be installed.

I was better off staying with a gutted out cat with flanges and keeping the most restrictive/best scrubbing cat on the side in case i needed to go for emissions testing.

Learned the costly way.

With my old 300rwkw setup and 3" exhaust I gained 6rwkw by removing the high flow cat.

When I ran the twin turbo setup on the RB25 I had a side pipe but didnt do any tests with the full system

The current system 4" dump, no cat, 3.5" system with a cannon at the rear was fine at 475rwkw.

Will be making a new 4" system shortly but not sure about a cat.

    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is juan@bardabe.com   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
