well if you have to add a cross-over what exactly is the benefit to running a twin exhaust?

would one large pipe not do the same ?

The cross over won't necessarily decrease the volume of your 2 pipes.

In most setups, the crossover point is just a part of those 2 pipes that are joined, and have their connecting wall removed. It doesn't go into one pipe as such. So your total cross sectional area is not decreased, unlike with a single pipe with the same ground clearance.

The performance reason V8s do it is for scavenging, due to the firing order. With the way the exhaust pulses go down the exhaust there are benefits to having your twin pipes linked at one point.

so in short..

increased flow with better clearance.

so there is a reason.

what if your turbos WERE sequentially staged, would there not be greater benefit to running completley seperate systems?

because from a pressure point of view if one turbo is reacting first would that not create an increase in pressure behind that turbo and where the pipes join create back pressure for the second turbo ???

what if your turbos WERE sequentially staged, would there not be greater benefit to running completley seperate systems?

The answer is no, but I'm not sure how to explain it in a pithy manner.

Its going to actually be worse. If you have 2 completely separate exhaust systems (i.e. from the manifold onwards) then you're only getting half the exhaust load for each turbo, so you have to run smaller ones to make it viable, or introduce too much lag (which defeats the purpose of sequential turbos).

The plumbing would be a lot easier than the bypass-ridden setup that people actually use, but you'd only run "identical twin" turbos if you were to have 2 separate systems.

if i had a gtr i would have, custom tbo manifold, dual 3 inch from tbo back no cat or muffler just rear resonator, and a cross over pipe half way

well you have never had a full twin from front pipes(TWIN 3") have you.I confess i did not have X-over pipe you recommed just two rear individual mufflers.Had the RB scream but with a gurgle.It could be heard 3KM away on a warm summers night Just north of Adelaide .keep that in mind "IF YOU HAD A GTR".SYstem for sale(800km old) as now have 90mm titanium.

Yeah ill be using a cross over, same setup as a lot of twin GTR's in vic.

bear in mind my aim is not to be heard 3km away. I drive the car a little more than once a week and it is being built to pass noice etc

well I have a twin system on my GTR.... if you search under my name there are a stack of pics, and like yellow GTR man :) it is insane loud but sounds oh so cooool....

oh BTW I have a apexi butterfly valve to shut it up for some people that think 130db is anti social...

:D

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
