In saying that the first thing I noticed when changing to a 3.5 inch y pipe collector was how quick they spooled up in comparison. Quite a noticeable improvement from 3800 and had to adjust the ebc to stop a spike.

Here's a dyno of the Z-tune with same exhaust as mine except it's titanium. Much better graph but I guess it's all the work done to the motor internally that makes the difference. So now every one knows much power the Z-tune really makes, he he.

Isn't single 3.5 the same surface area as twin 2.5?

Id say the issue is that its 2.5" at the dumps where in a usual 3.5" exhaust setup it would have a beefier front pipe....

Just saying things for the sake of things

So after 2 years its finally time to bring a conclusion to this thread. Most of the lag has been fixed since last dyno run and only 2 parts were changed.

Replaced stock twin turbo pipe with Nismo inlet pipe, this I think made the biggest difference to the response and driveability of the car. Boost was slightly higher and coming on earlier as well. Despite what some people have said, this part made the biggest difference for me.

2nd part was changing the exhaust system. Replaced the nismo exhaust (3 inch) with mine's front pipe and tomei 3.5 inch exhaust. This lowered the restrictions and improved top end.

So in conclusion for low mount twins for driverability and reduce lag, best bang for buck is better merger of twin turbo pipe and bigger exhaust. All other mods such as dumps pipes, intercooler, intercooler hard pipe, decat, etc although made a small difference to mid-high did not do much to low-mid and driverability.

Dyno graph to follow.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
