Mick how does your system go for noise suppression?

It would have plenty of flow capacity, be good to see pics for how it looks and fits.

It's a lot quieter then the 80mm jap exhaust I took off, it's not that loud until you get on the loud pedal then it gets up there, but idleing it has a nice tough murmur, Paul heard it tonight maybe he can comment on it

I have GT-RSs on the car so I needed as much flow as I could fit under the car

How about this , where your oxygen probe goes get a plug and drill/tap/braze whatever a take off into it and measure the pressure in the exhaust behind the turbocharger .

Compare it to boost pressure and note the difference .

It may not be a bad idea to pull the cat out and see if its blocked or collapsed as well . Changing that mid muffler shouldn't be a biggie surely .

Couldn't hear it. All I heard what that farken pump. BBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBBBZZZBBZBZZZZZBZBBZBZZZZZX

That's not really the ratio you're supposed to look at against boost pressure though. Ex manifold pressure against boost - yeah, fine. But not really dump pressure. Realistically, if you have more than a couple of psi of back pressure in the exhaust you're looking at a substantial restriction. So measuring the pressure there is a fine idea, but you're really just looking for the absolute amount of backpressure.

It would also pay to measure after the cat too, just to see if the cat is the problem or if the mid muffler is the problem.

But, my 2c on that issue is (which coincides with a lot of opinions above)

1) Why not just drop the exhaust behind the dump and take it for a quick drive, see if it changes behaviour?

2) Unless there is a massive step down in the muffler(s) it should still handle quite a bit of gas flow without killing the power. So you have to wonder about tthe cat more than any other part.

Well this thread is about exhaust restriction and anything significantly positive behind the turbocharger under load tells a story . I just picked on the sensor location because it's an easy place to tap from . If that exhaust is restrictive and gets fixed the dump pressure should fall and so should the exhaust manifold pressure . Boost and power characteristics should change as well .

What do you guys think of this - ok or a pile of junk? The cat is a gutted catco item (what I was suggested with a bit of reluctance), the mid-muffler looks 3" in/out (no necking like mine), the rear muffler is a crappy jasma cannon but free-flow from the look of things.

System is off a 33GTST goin for cheap ( I know 34 is slightly shorter) and the I'm thinkin of buying it..

Doesn't seem too bad for $100

Has a gutted cat already and a 3inch in and out same side mid muffler so that shouldn't be a problem

Just sack that rear cannon as most jasma approved mufflers have a smaller inner pipe which the oval muffler should fix

Worth it for $100 imagine how much it will be for a new custom 3inch catback atleast $500

The step down pipe is rarely in the mid muffler

Is almost always in the rear muffler or cannon

If the mid muffler is stepped down it's usually on the inlet or outlet and not internal as that muffler isn't offset so will be straight pipe thru just perforated and packing around it

    • 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?
