you "could" do this.. 3" dump -> Cat (because we are sensible) -> 3.5" Cat Back... plumb gate back into 3.5" cat back.. bypassing the cat :)

legal enough.. at EPA they won't be cracking gates.

If your bypassing the cat you might as well not have one

But on doodling you're doing the right thing.. external is for party time!

Also when they test your car for emissions it's like at 100kPa or so which means the gate is shut so all your exhaust is flowing through the cat.

On another note, regardless of bypassing cat on noise or not it's still going to make less pollution than a VW, or Audi or Skoda, etc. Lol

And std ecu Ducati's [emoji23] they also run so lean they occasionally stall and run so hot that they burn your legs.

You guys realize the gate is shut when its building boost....

Exactly.^^^^^

Can't see how plumbing the screamer back in can contribute to lag. When building boost the only thing that causes back pressure issues is the size of the dump.

Well the example I gave was pretty basic if a 3 inch exhaust was used for these 450wkw power levels obviously it would be too small but if an external gate was used it wouldn't be so much of a problem in this case it would affect the midrange dramatically from too much back pressure, think about it.

My point was if you don't need to plumb the gate back in then I don't think you should but if your like Paul and you hate the sound of a gate then do it properly like he is and go big and all should be fine.

Anytime you merge two pipes into a collector there's always a compromise in out right flow it may not be much but it still exist.

I think you are getting confused. The gate is shut to a predetermined pressure commonly controlled by an ebc, therefore there is no positive pressure on the gate diaphragm. So if the spring pressure is 15psi then the you set the ebc to 14 psi. The gate remains shut to that point, so no flow through the screamer, so it's impossible to contribute to lag.

If when its open when the screamer and dump is flowing and the exhaust hasn't got enough flow then you will encounter all the symptoms on a restrictive system where your power plateaus, boost targets cant be achieved....etc etc. But this will only happen if the exhaust system is restrictive AFTER the union of the dump and screamer.

Has nothing to do with lag which is when and how quickly boost transitions.

If the dump is too small, then yes it will cause lag, as we all know, but an open or plumbed scream makes no difference until the gate opens above the set level and will only affect higher mid range and top end IF the rest of the exhaust system is not able to cope with the gas flow.

Going single also can be risky if your not willing to external gate to atmosphere, i know people who plumbed back gate into 3" exhaust and wonder why its a laggy pig.

This is your post.

What you wrote is wrong.

Not that I care. Just saying

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
