Running a precision and came with a 3 5/8 flange, which tapers down to 3" around the cat. I wouldn't go any larger than the exit of the rear housing, counter intuitive.

I'd only use v-bands where you really need the seal to be tight, they look cool but can be a bitch to line up and get back on.

This is what I got made up for mine, have little pipes to run as screamers or can be fully plumb back

And u gotta use teflon pushlok hose for e85

Looking good man. You must have been pumped if all of the Aeroflow stuff arrived at once! I have been ticking really similar goals off on my build. Looks like its all coming together!

Yeah it's so much stuff when it is all laid out on the bench like that haha. Pretty stoked with the progress at the moment even if my wallet is not.

Nice work as always, but just a heads up, you might want to think about upgrading to a 3.5" exhaust.

Hey man thanks, this is honestly something i should have thought about earlier but it is too late now. Plenty of people have made over 400kw with 3" (and mine is completely straight through, no mufflers/cat/resonators at all!) so i don't think it will be a limitation. Plus im not shooting for power like that anyway!

Will be going 4inch dump on mine, then 3 1/2inch back to help it breath..

The rear housing adapter Tao provides only has a 3" outlet so i don't need anything ridiculous, besides, it's too late now anyway haha.

Exactly right, no point in having 3" dump (as that is my exhaust housing outlet size) and a 3.5" or larger exhaust. I found the V-Bands pretty easy to align and get on, that was with two people though. One person might be harder but how often do you take your exhaust off? And surely you can find one mate to give you a hand hahah.

butterfly in exhaust is one thing im seriously thinking about. My car is loud and dont think my neighbors like me when i come home late night.

Exactly the reason i want one! I try to be as reasonable as possible as i know i wouldn't appreciate it. Unfortunately due to time and money constraints this idea was ditched, but it is something i would like to try and incorporate in the future. Once the car is up and running i will get something sorted, i think it is a pretty good idea for a common problem.

I know haha, I took it off the car (which was literally a 5 minute job, thanks V-Bands) just to take photos of it! And now it's off I don't want to put it back on because it looks so damn sexy! It bolts to the gearbox as well for bracing. And it sits so flush up against the body it's amazing, can't even fit my fingers between the top of it and the floor pan, running nismo mounts so it should be fine.

Exhaust also comes with a lifetime warranty, and was VERY reasonably priced. The work Dann does it absolutely top shelf, and backed by a lifetime warranty. I highly recommend to anyone!

My old exhaust was a stainless/mild mix and a bit of a slap together job. Was never loud enough for me, but I think this should definitely be loud. Left room to put a muffler/resonator in later if I want :)

Very nice mate, good to see it moving forward.

May i ask as Im about to get my intercooler piping done, whats the thinking behind having the BOV on the turbo side and not the intake side? Or does it not really matter? I was going to get mind on the intake side, just after the throttle body

Looks good mate, some ear plugs will be needed i reckon, will be interesting to see how well it flows, hope those black silicon hoses don't blow out under boost though. Looks very clean and well done though.

Thanks guys. Was getting so sick of working on it after all these moths, had really lost motivation to do anything and was hating it.

Finally got it mostly sorted and had a quick squirt around the block today. Put a smile on my face for sure! Was nice to have the car in the shed and walk away feeling happy about it :)

Just a quick photo as I put it away.

Don't know anything about BOV's sorry man as I have never run one. Before this I used a cefiro crossover pipe which had no BOV provision from factory. And I'm not using one now :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
