TommyK as kebab has said, getting a catch can is going to be helpful in the long run, as it will stop all that lovely oil you buy ending up in your intercooler... then intake....then lean..... then .... BANG even less chas for the suffering GF!

also don't look at the catch cans that you can buy off the shelf and the like, they just dont work!

go see Brian @ BEL and get him to show you what a propper can should be like....

oh and that power graph is great top end, but laggy as hell! Pete always said to me he had hardly any lag? hmmmm

I have talked to Ben about him using Jim's Dyno in the interim until there unit is online, and should be a good deal :D

go have a chat :(

thanks guys

i will speak to ben @ bel about the catch can. i will also speak to jim at dart :)

Petes setup looks laggy according to that dyno sheet. Perhaps i shouldnt be too worried ? I checked - I get 0.8 bar @ 4000 rpm in 4th gear :)

Havent tested any more.

i think so too

althoguh im a bt pissed at the moment, i seriously doubt that aynone with 2530s or these gt2560r turbos will have response as similar to gt-ss. I will be at the drags at wednesday. i will try and get to jim @ dart fairly soon, probably this week :P)

Anyway once i get my timesplit on wedn we can see

:D

dam i m pissed :D:D:D:D

i don't reckon .8 bar at 4000 is too bad. as long as they are spooling up hard at that point you should be hitting 1.5bar before 4500rpm. that still gives you 4000rpm or so to play with. sure it's a bit laggy for a street car but for drag (it seems that's what you're into) it should be apples.

oh and for anyone of interest.....

exhaust is progressing nicely!

just have a few finishing touches to be had!

Mark uses JUNBL Mufflers. Nothing to do with Jun Auto Mechanic.

hey williamsf1, has Marky Mark still got the S15 (which he refers to as the S one five)?? Haven't seen him out drifting in a while....

well i must say that is a very nice exhaust. could even see a power improvement. the X pipe looks particulary nice. the invisible cat is also a nice touch :D

The real question is how does it sound?

what is advantageous in having the x pipe? is it for balance of exhaust pressure?

my brothers gtr has got the apexi n1 twin system but it doesn't have a balance pipe - btw the twin pipes sound awesome :)

Yep its JUN BL very high quality korean made gear, and seems to hold up to the punishment better than some.... (Mark has had these boxes on cars for a few years with few complaints...)

right now the car sounds absolutely fantastic on song!!! it is just worth the rev!!!

point of note there is a cat system going in, it just has to be designed a little bit to fit and work....

also, there is an apexi butterfly valve going in, basically in the centre of the X JUN crossover.... that way it still keeps that twin sound has balance characteristics and can be shut up at a moments notice for running at home, and any unwanted attention.....

this work will be completed thisarvo....

also uncle mark's S15 is engine-less right now, but will be back soon!!!

more pics to follow once the finishing touches are complete...

Marko its 63mm thin wall stainless :P

Mmm.. that's very clever :P Are you just going to use the manual adjuster or get one of those swish electronic controllers that changes the valve automagically?

it is a manual one, as the electric ones have not been too reliable in testing (water)

it has a handbrake type button that will lock it at any % of opening....

so basically mum and dad friendly with say 50-60% closed.... drive away and open it up

or full shut down at idle only and its a stocker....

once it is all set up more pics, and will do a power run also....Jim thinks there will be a gain to be had, as there will be less restriction, so now I can run less boost, and more timing to get the same result....or better

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
