I spoke to a muffler bloke this morning and he reckons 4" could stop the turbo spooling as early as it does now ??????

Just want it too run sweet , with no shit :woot:

Then find someone who knows what they are talking about.

Don't ever ask a muffler man for perfomance advise, especially that clown

The easier gases can get away from a turbo the faster they can get through a turbo making the turbo spool faster

You would think they would know something about exhaust if they are in the trade ?

So you would have to step it up from the back of the turbo to fit the 4" down pipe

Hate farking cars :)

All but one exhaust guy I have ever met has had no farking idea.

Their industry is full of old wives tales.

Go ask any exhaust bloke to make a set of headers, and once he is done ask him what rpm band they were built for and do they match the cam choice etc...

Yes, if you look closely mine has that done to it

Someone who knows what they are doing will be able to fabricate a dump pipe to cat setup for you easily.

But what that muffler guy said is absolute rubbish.

Joe just posted as I was typing, but yes you have to step it up if look back to his pictures he uploaded.

When is your car going back to crd pete?

They have a couple of weeks with some Motorsports commitments , so some time after that.

If I get a local bloke to do the 4" down pipe and the Cat, is there anything I should make sure they do, does the down pipe have to be coated ?

Would I be able to sell the down pipe, shit it is new :(

Unfortunatly that down pipe is just about useless pete.. Probably the only one I've seen where its stepped down straight away..

Maybe someone who needs a 3 inch dump could cut the start of the flange off but chances are slim that it would for someone else's set up :/

I coated mine to keep the heat out.. More $$ though

It looks like that but I wonder if it looks like that because it is right up on the bend and I think bends tend to take some size of tube, but ?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
