All I'm saying....is I've known you for probably 10 years, and you have even less ability to stop yourself sliding down the slippery slope of modification than me....and I modified a bloody Leaf! And

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?

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.

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.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
