Just want to know has anyone reached 300kw with a silencer in the muffler,

I'll be getting my car tuned next week , would like to see 280-300kw,

Has a GTX3076 0.82 , external 44mm tial, tomei 256cams, 3 1/2inch exhaust but the muffler has the 2 1/2inch silencer. I've tried a 4inch Nur spec muffler on the rear but its crazy loud, and i could try another muffler in the front and that might help but i like the sound of the fujitsubo muffler as well cause its quiet at slow speeds.

So interested in opinions, will this muffler really hold the setup back enough to not use it ? If i cut the restrictor out how much louder will it be?

piggaz managed to push his past 300kw with the 2.5" restrictor in it, but the turbo setup was capable of significantly more power and made significantly more power when that exhaust was removed.

change the muffler for a larger one or add a larger middle muffler and chop out the 2.5" restrictor plate.

how much power is significant?

The 4inch nur spec just sounds loud and drony, would i use a resonator or a muffler to bring out the RB sound? Just tossing up wether its worth losing some power to maintain a nice sound.

Paul was also on E85, which changes the rules a little bit.

I've pushed a 3" exhaust to 370rwkw no problems when not using PULP.

2.5" will hurt the power, i certainly wouldn't push the car with such a small restrictor in there.

As you are external gate as well (assuming), that will also make it a bit easier. Still though... get it removed.

400, well 402 but for an extra 5 psi (30 psi) it only made it 414. Now in a step back in turbo size with a twin 3 inch exhaust it was sitting at 426 with 8 psi less. Only changes were exhaust, dumps and smaller turbos. Oh and even back to factory airbox!!

Air has to get in AND out!

Would have loved to have seen a back to back with just the exhaust change.

How much of a restriction will a 2.5 inch hole will be on this car is anyone's guess. Maybe drop the 'diff back' once it's all done and do another run. That will give you the answer and only take a few minutes.

me to, especially with the RSs to see if it also help them come on sooner

I think ill just see what the tuner recommends, hard to see where a muffler could be welded in at the front, not much room with a lowered car, but at the back i can see a huge muffler could be put in there, so hopefully theres some decent 3.5inch ID mufflers that flow well and also cut down the drone and noise.

How do people bring out the meaty RB note? is it to do with the resonator or the muffler or even the tune???

There is HEAPS of room up near the gearbox for a VERY decent muffler.

I had a 5" body on mine near the gearbox. (In fact, it's still there...)

so tell me , how did it sound then? what brand of muffler, redback has been mentioned by an exhaust shop,

from what i can see under there the dump and cat take up alot of room, i dont wanna chop it all up and make a mess and have to waste money if its not neccessary.

was that an oval muffler? what power did yours make too?

if im going down this track of having a bit of a noisy exhaust then id atleast like to hear the meaty angry RB note, quality still not just loud noise.

went round a few exhaust shops today, was told theres not enough room for a muffler anywhere but the rear, and the ones they showed me looked cheap and nasty like they imported them from china, brands like redback, gennie where mentioned and prices of $350 spoken about so i just got the fujitsubo welded back on for now,

going to see what it can do on the dyno, maybe have the catback removed to see the difference before doing anything more, so ill be a ginnea pig for this experiment. :whistling:

having thoughts about cutting it out too, wonder if a 3inch pipe could be welded back in to mimick the silencer effect?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
