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?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
