Psssh, I have two of them! :P

How does that system actually work? Because looking at it, I actually thought it was a better (i.e, far easier to hide) system than Scotty's "external gate on housing" setup.

Then again, why not just simply make the dump diameter that size?

This isn't an external gate, it's a crappy exhaust bleed off gate.

If your exhaust is building that much pressure then it's simply not flowing enough, and as I would explain to a customer, 3 inch is too small for 400kw. I guess if you researched a little Tao you would have known that, but hey perhaps the carbon monoxide is doing it's job. :P

How are your steering rack boots?

Yes, but an exhaust bleed off gate and an external wastegate/screamer really has the same effect ultimately, which is to reduce pressure in the dump/immediately after the turbo.

This seeeeems like it's easier to hide, easier to setup, etc. Then again, maybe the answer is to run a comically large dump pipe. 3in into 6in on a 45 regree angle anyone?

Would have been nice to see how well my setup actually ran, if it would you know, actually run.

Tao, how about instead of a weird spring flap thing, you put an external gate on it. Yeah. An internal gate turbo, then your weird dump then an external gate on the dump. Gate city.

Use boost applied to bottom port to open the extra external gate. Then can have a solenoid to keep it shut if you want to boost past an rbt or heaps cops.

I might just patent that idea.

More gates equals more better.

Get a JJR bellmouth dump pipe and venom high flow cat

Dump pipes / cats make no different to the noise, only flow. I have the above on the standard catback and it is as quiet as a mouse.

Get a custom catback exhaust made up. DO NOT SKIMP on the catback. My cheap catback is deafening at 2000 RPM which is where a street car spends 90% of its time. It's quieter when you are at 3000+, which is the opposite of what it should be. I went back to the standard catback and the shit exhaust is currently in my garage waiting for me to figure out how to get rid of it (probably to scrap metal recycler).

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
