perth exhaust centre vic park, i got my stainless steel 3" turbo back with high flow cat and s/steel muffler of my choice for $1200 i recall. If you cant they even make the dump pipe just for that tiny extra bit of flow. theres an article in the perth street mag vol9 no4 where they did that plus same system as mine to an s15 giving 15 extra kw at wheels

I got my pipe form the turbo to the cat (dump and front) done a Quick Fit in Morley. Stainless 3" pipe, hand fabricated dump pipe for around $405 from memory.

If you like you could get them to make you a 'flanged' de-cat pipe. Tell them it is for 'off-road use' for when you go to Waneroo or the motor-plex.

The pipe can be swapped with the cat when you need that extra bit of 'GO'. Much better than gutting the cat, should cost less than $100 in stainless. Better still get a de-cat pipe AND a flame-thrower.

Flame thrower; a short flanged pipe with a slight megaphone like flare at the end that exits under the passenger door. This pipe will bolt in place of the cat on race days/dyno days.

Straight out your turbo baby! Big flames and a sound like WW2.

They should be cool making them for you if you specify they are only for special events (like getting your neigbours backs up):P

i was at Perth exhaust centre an hour ago and Harvey quoted 650 for downpipe and highflow cat but he said that he mostly does 200sx's.

i was at Cypher the other day and it would cost roughly 700ish for a tuned-length downpipe with a highflow cat.

the guy at Exhaust Dynamics in Belmont bagged the crap out of Ian at Exhaust Torque when i spoke to him.

something about young guys paying him $1200+ for milo tins *shrug*

i'd suggest getting quotes from them all

:uh-huh:

$700 is alot of money for a peice of pipe that short.

Tuned length? on a turbo downpipe? A mistake surely. The only area where tuned length is required is straight out the cylinder head(manifold), where there is a slowish 'pulsing' of exhaust from each cylinder.

Ring Quick fit in morley, see what their price is like. With the money you save you can buy some exhaust wrap and stainless pipe clamps.

anyway thanks for all the comments

Make sure to get a 'flame thrower' or a decat (doesn't have to be stainless) they would only charge a few bucks to make one I'm sure.

Although yu have obviously made your decision I agree with rev210. Quick fit in Morley aren't showy but their welding and work is briliant.

the Flame thrower, is the exhaust a race car uses, no mufflers just a pipe that exits just under the passeger door. It would be a simple bolt on pipe that goes in place of the cat for race meets/dyno or naughty late night hooning. The de-cat pipe is more practical it just replaces the cat with a straight peice of pipe.

When you take the cat off and put the flame thrower on the exhaust remains in place but nothing comes out the back, flames come out the side.:P

When you take the cat off and put the de-cat in flames come out the back but, it is as quiet as normal.

Flame throwers will give you a significant increase in power and not to mention noise (but they are so much fun!).

:)

If you get it doen right you can swap the exhaust over in 10min or so by undoing 6 bolts, putting the decat of flame thrower in and doing the 6 bolts back up.

Heya Wassabi,

If you already have a cat back exhaust then Brett at PSI can prob help!

I got my full exhaust system (Dump Down pipe and hi flow cat) done with him added 20HP at the wheels, I have the dyno sheets to show this! i was VERY happy with his work and didn't charge too much at all! then i had SAFC and boost wound up a bit and it was another 20HP extra 40HP in 1 day made for quite an excitring drive home...need i say more:uh-huh:

From my experience giv Brett at PSI a call..... some people have had probs but i don't want to start arguments but from the people that i have recommended to him such as IMACUL8 they are more than happy with him!

U still need some backpressure from turbo i would say

If the factory computer has anything to do with it, I'd say it retarded the timing on you.

Turbo's do not like backpressure at all! Get rid of back pressure on the turbo and power is there for the taking.

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Duncan · Posted

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.
