Hey guys,

Apologies if this question is stupid, but i have a awkward scenario where google wont be much help.

So today i remembered im still running the stock cat on my evo. I had a full 3inch exhaust system which i installed 2 years ago however it came with a test pipe as oppose to a high flow, so i left the factory cat on to keep the car legal. As time progressed i focused on other mods and i totally forgot about the exhaust till today.

Recently I got my car tuned on e85 - stock turbo @1.6 bar & stock motor and made 242awkw/460nm.

I was wondering whether it will still be worth getting a high flow cat post tune, or whether the results will be negligible...

Cheers

Yea i thought so. 20kW is a good bit of power given the cost of a cat. Ill visit an exhaust shop and get them to weld one on. I also just realised my stock cat is 2.5inch, might be causing some turbulence as well, kind of wish i remembered sooner.

Cheers mate.

If your tuner has been wise enough to interpolate the cells around the loaded parts of the map then you'll be fine.. especially on a car that runs an AFM :)

A quick squirt on the dyno would be a great way to check.

Hey guys,

Just an update. I got the cat swapped out with a 100 Cell high flow and its a good thing i did!

My old cat absolutely crapped itself, there was debris blocking 50-70% of the cat. Even a brand new stock replacement would of seen some gains! Unfortunately i didnt get to take a picture of it in time as it made its way to the bin.

I drove the car and i definitely need a retune. The car is hitting 1.6 bar of boost in 2nd under 75% throttle (i thought full boost is usually seen in 3rd gear?), where as before it tapers off @0.9 ~1.1 bar in 2nd. I was scared to full throttle as i dont have a Wideband.

Its not as loud as i thought it would be, just a bit raspier.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
