Alright, I've currently got the stock exhaust with 3" cat back (gay as)...

I'm pretty retarded with cars, but slowly learning. Any advice would be fantastic.

Looking at going 3" turbo back.. Best to buy separately and fitted at an exhaust shop? Or buy through them?

Wanting something high flow, dont care about noise (quiet is fine) and will help power/overall sexiness

Also, should I aim to spend about $1k fitted??

Just Jap is a forum sponsor they can supply both a dump/front pipe and a cat but I would go for a larger bodied cat if you want the least restriction.

Venom exhaust works and email George direct.

3" all the way through and you can't go too far wrong.

So google both of those, buy them and then take it to an exhaust shop asking them to fit 3" all the way through??

you've already got a 3in catback? So you just need the front pipe and 5in cat fitted.

it says the 500 is recommended for +350rwkw etc... is it still applicable for cars with less than those figures?

Dont worry about taking it to an exhaust shop. U wont learn anything that way. Buy urself a set of spanners, a pair of stands, a jack and change the front pipe and cat yourself. Its literally a dozen bolts. Even a total novice could knock it out in 1 day and it will save on the reaming u'll get from the exhaust shop.

My mate reckons it'd be a nightmare job for a rookie like myself??

Also he reckons given the heat of the turbo, the bolts would be hard to get off??

Before ya start ripping into it get yourself some "Penetrene" or similar quality penetrant in a squirty bottle & some safety goggles. :yes:

Cheers GW

I gotta agree with that. A good penetrant will help. Mine came loose without it, but every car is different. Just allow yourself the whole weekend and u'll definately get it done. Just take the cat off 1st. Then work your way forward. Its alot easier from under the car so ull want to get it up on stands with enough room to move round. Take ur time and remember if u get frustrated u'll break stuff. So walk away, clear ur head and give it another go.

All of the above. It's good to have them on hand too for future DIY'S.

Also wondering if u got a hold of George? I've yet to get a reply from him..and it's been 2 days. I'll give him another day...I don't want to seem too keen.

Perhaps think about replacement nuts and bolts, gaskets, gasket goo etc before you tackle it....or at least make sure the nearest auto shop has things you might need in stock.

Thats a reminder! I usually change to stainless bolts on exhausts cos if u ever need to pull the exhaust off (which u will if ur on a hunt for power. Changing gearboxes and diffs etc.) they wont be rusted up. :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
