Hey guys.

Might be a dumb question but I couldn’t find a definitive answer on the internet.

 

Im looking at buying an xforce turbo back exhaust in the picture I’ve attached but I don’t know if I will need to buy a front pipe (also attached)? Does the front pipe and dump pipe do the same thing or will I need both? 

 

Thanks for answering the newb question!

Hi Dan

you want the JJR stainless bellmouth dump pipe, which runs all the way to the cat...so eliminates the front pipe and turbo elbow, as it's all one piece. I tested the split dump pipe and JJr bellmouth-type dump pipe and found the bellmouth to be faaaaaar superior.

I also recommend just buying a Venom 4 or 5in metal cat rather than any ceramic cat they usually throw in as part of a package deal.

Hey mate!

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve looked into the parts you mentioned. Does that mean if I buy them I will only need to buy a cat back system? If so, can you recommend one?

 

cheers

if you want my advice - and let's face it, who wouldn't :p - you should get this

which leads into this

and then, "cat back exhaust' is this - although, on the loud side so you might want something quieter...but then again, powerrrr

The ceramic cats are shithouse, so rather than buying one now, then changing to a metal cat that's cheap/nasty to save $50, i recommend just get a 5in. body Venom cat that you're unlikely to ever need to upgrade.

Hey mate.

 

thanks for the links! Do you know where I can buy any other brands for the cat back part of the exhaust? Haven’t been able to find any other than that JJR part that you mentioned above.

 

i don’t want to buy a full exhaust just to use the cat back section?

yes - you buy the JJR  BELLMOUTH dump (very important - don't bother with the split type, get bellmouth. Also, JJR stainless seem to be the best made/value for money), Venom cat (as recommended, pay the few extra $$ and get 5in body, rather than skimp now and want to get bigger in a years' time), and then you just need a catback exhaust. HEAPS of Jap brands available, which are usually all just cat-back. But they all get way more pricey. I only just recently got the JJR hyperflow catback which looks to be a knockoff of the HKS, but is in full (304?) stainless rather than 409>304. Was using a Blitz NUR spec previously which I liked, but the JJR is quieter (probs cos brand new) and unleashes more torque. Very happy with it for the price. 

Hey guys,

 

So turns out that the JJR cat backs are out of stock for the next couple months (emailed the manager today) can anyone link me to somewhere I can buy a cat back?

 

cheers!

Don't buy, they are shit and way to loud. You'll be taking it to an exhaust shop to get another muffler put in to stop the drone. Scan Gumtree or Facebook sales for a decent Jap exhaust.

Hey guys.

So I’ve bought the JJR front pipe and bought a blitz Nur spec cat back. Just waiting for the cat to get delivered and I can get it installed! Just before I do, I’ve never seen this in an exhaust before. What is it? And can it/ should it be taken out?

 

thanks!

Quick note: that’s inside the exhaust tip 

It's a silencer.

 

IMO it's a bandaid for poor design.

 

Take it out and its louder, put it in and its quiter, quiter due to restriction.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
