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).

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
