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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
