Ok I'm starting this post to see what is working for everyone.

My new engine is a 3025 neo built engine and I want to maximize its performance. 

Old system is a 3inch turbo back 100 cel cat straight through muffler.

Was thinking about doing a 4inch dump pipe to 3 inch from dump back.

You don't need anything crazy if you venting gate to atmo and run no cat..

If you not..good luck with that .., just take of exhaust on dyno before you piss fart around remaking stuff

400 should be a walk in the park for a 3 inch exhaust..

cheers

The smart* approach (fully fully custom) is to route the wastegate pipe back in behind the cat.  Face it, the gate is not open very much of the time on the street, therefore the vast majority of the time all the gas is going through the cat.  Then when you really need the gate to flow lots of gas, you're not also requiring the cat to flow lots of gas.  Win.  Was it dose pipe Johnny who's done basically this recently?

 

*Only smart until you actually do get some sort of EPA/police attention, in which case it's not actually legal.

Yes Johnny did this and ive copied plus merged it later for good measure ?

So a 3 1/2"dump 700mm lone back to a straight through 3"with 100 cel cat with 50mm wastegate merged back in the 3" pipe should be able to handle 420 to 450rwkw?

i had a 3.5 inch dump, then a 3 inch with a slight offset lukey and a resonator on my r31. It ran 141mph through the mufflers on 25psi with a auto

it was quiet exhaust but with a vented gate 

My mate had same mufflers in his vl turbo( manual)  as he copied with a 3582 turbo on upper 27psi, but with a 3 inch dump..he ran 138mph (you work the power out out) on a 3582 1.06 turbo , he dropped the exhaust  at dump and it made 10rwkw difference...Had a vented gate

No meows..

 

It really really comes down to vented gate..if you don't vent it..good luck. You need a f**koff big exhaust. Just like a Gtr with the twins replaced with upgrades...

or perhaps merge it a long way back. But thats a p.i.t.a

honestly you just need to test it, as different mufflers and cats pose different restrictions..even in same sizing..

cheers

Interested to see what difference venting the gate to atmosphere would make with my set up. Currently running a 4" dump to the bellhousing and then 3" from there through a single round muffler after the diff. Single cam RB30 with a powerglide. Head is stock besides slightly oversize valves and a small 218 @ .050 wade cam. Making 396rwkw with a 1.06 gtx35 on 30psi. Basically stopped making decent gains in power with more boost and inlet temps rising quite fast. The gate plumbs back in maybe halfway down the dump pipe. Would it be much more efficient going to atmosphere as I presume a fair amount exhaust flow would be through the turbo at that boost level?

I didn't have a chance to dump the exhaust last time on the dyno to see if any gains were to be made but I guess the stock ports in the head would be holding things back a little also?

What fuel are you running? 30psi i would expect to see more hp than that

I wrote a big post and it didnt work. Cbf again

My mate morgz on ct ran 3 inch dump/exhaust plumbed back

With a 3582 with billet 67mm  comp 1.06

Went 10.20@140 -30psi-auto-450rwkw..made no more power

He unplumbed gate and it went straight to 40psi and maxed fuel system out in the midrange where peak torque is. Had to plumb it back..lol

So maybe worth a look

Cheers

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
