Hello

Considering doing something financially stupid.

I currently have a 3.5 inch on my twin setup.

Was considering going big single and aiming for 550KW.

Does anybody know if the 3.5 " exhaust will hold power back at those levels?

Was doing a budget and wanted to see if I needed to put a $1000 provision in for a new 4 inch exhaust.

Cheers

i was happy with the power but I think one of the turbos may have let go

only getting 12psi last few days...

this was more of a general wondering more than anything... i still havent actually decided to do it yet lol

was trying to work out how much it will actually cost me

and no this will not be stock internals lol

the accountant in me keeps saying to stop blowing money on this and buy a house but then I sit in a big single with 500kw+ and I just cant help myself!

And watch out for the mufflers. Very annoyed to find the 3in tip I bought narrows down to 2 3/4 inside which may not sound a lot but the full 3in would flow nearly 20% more so I am going to have to change it.

4inch exhausts sound so shtty. The 4inch pipe takes longer to fill with air than a 3-3.5inch pipe. So u don't get that racy sound. U get a deep sound, it can't b changed its because of the muffler sizes and pipe sizes.

I've driven a few 4" exhaust GT-R's... They sound tough as even with two big mufflers.

But yeah 4" and external screamer would be what you'd do. It'll be less than 10% either way of what it'll cost for 550rwkw so... Not even a consideration really and the least of your money spending concerns.

It would sound good. You should always have a bigger exhuast closest to the turbos. When the exhaust is hot it needs more room. As it travels down the pipes and cools down it doesn't need the room. So it still sounds good, cause you get thy rushing sound through the 3.5inch section.

I just ordered a 3.5inch tomei ti system. So I'll be Running my 3inxh tuned length fronts, into a 4inch merge, decat that tapers down over 400mm to 3.5inch and than the tomei catback.

I'm interested to compare it to the 4inch system I had on it a few months back. We ran it up o jezza's dyno. So we can almost back to back it.

Pipe size is all good... alot of this is going to be up to what mufflers you choose to run and or/ any sneaky reducers the manufacturer chooses to put in there. There's not too many true 4" exhausts off the shelf for a gtr.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
