hey

i got the xforce turbobak full stainless steel exhaust kit for my r33 ($950 off ebay)

Im very very happy with it. I didnt dyno it after we put it in but you could instatly tell a huge differance in power. It sounds great to, and its not evan that loud. looks pretty cool i guess.

Apparantly xforce just make good copies of the bigname japanese brands.

Id definetly get it again though, specialy for the price :D

I have a mild steel turbo back X-force on my RB20.

Sound: It's actually pretty quiet when cruising on the highway. The drone isn't intrusive - it doesn't leave your ears ringing :(

Performance: I haven't had it tuned yet, but they claim 20kw at the treads average gain. Incomparison a CES exhaust advertise approx 40kw gain (but their systems cost a lot more)

Looks: Doesn't look too bad. IMO it works and performs better than the stock exhaust, and as far as bang for buck goes, it's not too bad.

The quality of the welds on mine were pretty poor. If you wanted to take the time, you could clean them up.

:P

ya the dude on ebay who sells them... not sure whats going on there..

basicaly EVERYONE complained about how slow/barely existent he is in all his sales.

I paid for the exhaust, and I emailed and emailed and he never replied. then after a week i rang him up and he was pretty responsive. Came a week after he said it would.. but hey it came in the end :D

The kit for the r33 etc comes with the front pipe thing that connects to the turbo, cat, another long pipe, muffler, a silencer, and all the bolts and crap. Mine doesnt have that overlapping with the turbo problem.

I dont think theres much of a diff between $1000 full stainless style xforce kit, and a $2000 apexi/HKS one etc...

i got turbo back on my r33, from ruf performance was suppose to be mild steel one but bankstown mufflers said it was full stainless steel so maybe they put on the wrong one?

and it' only cost me $700..

great exhaust not too loud performance up a fair bit but yet to dyno will do once power fc is in..

I've got an Xforce catback and it's too loud. I've been EPAed and it turned out to be 99 db. The power gain was great but your probably better off getting a fujitsubo if your going to spend $1000. By the way it has a N1 drift style muffler which looks pretty damn good.

Except you can get brand new Japanese cat-backs for about the $1000 mark, so the X-forces don't look like such great value to me?

LW.

you can get plently of brand name cat backs for the $1000 mark

I paid $900 for my full stainless Fujitsubo. I was also looking at buying a HKS highpower catback for $860.

well now im looking at getting a stainless twin dumper from batmbl and a catco high flow cat.

would it just be cheaper to go down to my local exhaust shop and get the pipe work from the back of the cat to the muffler made up??

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
