What Marc said or...

Here's a quick guide to exhaust sizes to your power out put, thanks to R31Nismoid on SAU here.

300 kW's = 3" exhaust

350 kW's = 3.5" exhaust

400 kW's = 4" exhaust

Your car will be fine with a 3" exhaust.

thats what i was thinking...but a guy told me you need back pressure for a stock turbo ?

people often try and use physics from NA cars on turbo cars, and it doesn't work.

and technically speaking, back pressure is a bad thing on any car. it is just an unwanted byproduct of having an exhaust the right size to maintain the scavenging effect on a NA car.

car is no where stock just the turbo is stock

And if the turbo is stock - there is no way you are making more than 200rwkw :)

turbo is the limiting factor, they don't make over that - end of story.

Apart from the noise a 4" gives, it won't hurt the car as such.

You don't need backpressure, it's a turbo. Whoever is giving such advice, make sure you don't take your car back there. If it's the same guy who's lying to you telling you that the car has 230rwkw, well that just backs the point even more :thumbsup:

BIGGER the better !!!

Turbo works by feeding exhaust gasses to turbo wheel / turning cold side wheel ..... any back pressure would only slow the gasses or wheel down ! .... AND WE DON`T WANT THAT DO WE ;)

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
