Extra 2kW up top and -2kW mid range! 

Time for me to flash the missus' Tiguan to get it from 162kW to 223kW lol.

Yes, but yesterday I was teaching the boy to do hektic dowies in a local cul de sac.

BTW, what is happening with your beastie?

You win, can't do donuts in the Nazi troop carrier lol.

Umm it's not in the backyard or my mate's shop any more haha... the siet bok is just getting a bunch of fab work done (that costs more than the car itself, I'm such a bad Asian, fk all ROI)

I'm such a bogan, I just had to Google ROI.

Cold start is now as loud as balls.

Cold start is for heating the cats up faster and can be tuned out, hopefully soon.

Went for a hour drive to cook off the heat wrap.

I might need a resonator in the front pipe, maybe, maybe not.

Stone guard thingie will go back on after I have heat cycled it a few times and re-torqued it all up.

Sounds hektik, LOL

Does it sound like a rexy bro?

Like a noisy one mate, like a noisy one.

Honestly, I really like it, it's just verging on being a bit too loud. Maybe get some unwanted attention type of loud.

I'm going to head into the local exhaust shop and see what they can do, a big arse resonator, louvered not perforated, in the front pipe might knock the tone/noise down enough to make me happy.

A 12" louvered hotdog knocked a heap of noise out of my MX5, I'm hoping it does the same for the 86.

Now with added quietness, with the added benifit of the legalities....

Cold start is still louder then I really like, but, meh.

Normal running it is as loud as my old MX5, but deeper, and not tinny, plus no drone.

Chopped a turbo Nissan coming back, shallow victory though, it was a SSS.

Line you up in the missus' fully taboulli Tiggy

SAU should do another drag day at WSID.

I went to one years ago with my boat (R33 GTST) and chopped everything, excellent day it was.

I would do another in the 86 for the LOLS alone, chopping some other daily drivers would be a bonus.

I'll buy the donuts.

I'll bring both cars, R33 will blow a gearbox then the Tiggy probably blow the haldex, DSG, motor, entire Canbus network will die and the car will light up 1500 error codes (thank fk it's under warranty)

Cold start was still to loud


So, now, my current exhaust is a Tomei UEL header, Ultrex 2.5" overpipe, OEM front pipe back.

Going to the smaller pipe isn't a worry as calculations say that 2 1/4" will flow more than enough NA.

And the OEM front pipe will flow the power its making without much of a issue and will save the kittens and frogs for future generations, which is a bonus.

In all honesty I wish I just did the header and overpipe to start with.

Or, stayed with the decat OEM header, 2 5" catless overpipe and 2.5" cat back, the only issue with that is the trail of dead kittens and frogs in my wake.

Like all things it was a lesson, albeit a slightly costly one. 

Dooh.

  • 3 weeks later...

Had a play.

Punched out cat in front pipe.

Tomei UEL header showed no gains over the punched out OEM header. 

Hell, the punched out OEM cats with the 2.25" OEM stuff showed typical performance to the Tomei UEL with 2.5" catless exhaust. 

There is only so much NA powers you can wring from a 2.0 ltr boxer POS.

I will be reinstalling the punched out header and selling the Tomei.

Making more noise for no extra performance is pointless.

Yes I'm getting old...

I'm keeping this little puppy though, but, I have a itch that needs to be scatched.

Some cheap old POS might end up in the yard, the plant yard to be specific....at work.......hidden......from "her"

Buy something cheap, like an 80 series cruiser. And shove a Barra turbo in it. 

From memory get Barra after June 2006, and it'll happily make 500kw.

So then wind the boost in, injectors, FMIC, and go rip skids. 

Even better run the ZF6 gearbox and turn the cruiser RWD just for the drag racing Lols. 

I reckon you can easily get a 80 series into the low 12s in that combo.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
