Hello. Put simply, I was given this Dual stage EBC From my mate. Still brand new in the box ( Win! ) I have installed it, as per instructions.. at least my interpretation of the instructions. Basically, I just want to double check I have done it correctly, and what I should run it at/what is best etc I have the standard Ecu, Turbo back 3" Exhaust. and a pod filter. I am aware the issues with winding the boost up too far and the ecu going "Emo" I have set it on 7psi and 11. Doesn't seem to like 11 too much, but holds both, no spikes etc. im not concerned with the wiring side of things, that was easy. just the solenoid etc This is what the instructions said, atleast what I think they said, it seems to be all working ok, just need a comfirmation/advice from people who have had more experience as I am a Noob

I checked timing today. Nothing out of the ordinary. Unless there is a difference between timing and base timing? More worried about huge ass 4wds running you off the road then fire

Yeah 70% of the people around here are either into cars, drunk or on drugs.. The amount of times I've had someone shout do a burnout or the equivalent is redicoulos Would the AFM change that much?

Ok thank you for the replys, the car is factory manual. So not concern with Ecu. I will be getting a tune once I get a intercooler anyways... No leaks in the exhaust, all brand new. no loose bolts etc. It seems to do it very often.. since do writing this I've got my mate to follow behind. Once I've been driving for 20 or so, of normal driving. If I full throttle through 2nd, as soon as I change gears a nice big flame.. makes for great footage lol Very noticeable at night, scared the crap out of me, thought I went past a speed camera Not concerned with police, I live in a semi rural location. The police station closes at 4 in the arvo, so basically the police dont care I am more concerned with the possibility of it doing damage somehow. Thanks for the info/help.

I was meaning no aftermarket bov. the car is "nice and stock" didn't think I had to specify everything that was stock. as I already said the 2 only mods on it. Put simply my car is Basically Stock, Pod ( in a insulated box ) and a 3Inch turbo back Stainless exhaust. 4inch hotdog in the middle and a very free flowing Cat other then that completely stock, no boost controller, turbo timer, bov etc. so nice and stock"" thought that was fairly clear.

.... wow, I forgot to actually say my question. simply put, would my car be doing this because of the exhaust or is there a more serious underlying problem, as the car is still running beautifully i'd like to double check

factory. as I said the car is stock.

I have looked through the forums and have come up with a few posts, but all seem to be different to my situation Put simply my car is Basically Stock, Pod ( in a insulated box ) and a 3Inch turbo back Stainless exhaust. 4inch hotdog in the middle and a very free flowing Cat other then that completely stock, no boost controller, turbo timer, bov etc. so nice and stock Once the car is at a operating temperature, It will give occasional little "pops" and after a good 5minutes of driving aggressively it will shoot flames with a nice bang. now im not complaining. it sounds great and looks awesome, it's not running rich, or Lean I am getting on average 380-500kms per tank and 10-12L per 100km. with a good 10L left in the tank when I fill up. now, everyone else is blaming the cars, tuning or lack of a cat. I am assuming mine is simply because of the cat. As everyone in other posts have recently had a Tune or car is running badly etc and mine is not, I figured I should simply ask I am also not losing power etc. have had this exhaust for 7 months, from the moment it went on the car did it. nothing has changed since if there is a post I missed explaining this further, my bad, guess ill look harder next time.

Hello, Been a member of this forum since May.. Haven't posted etc, thought I should atleast introduce myself. I own a R33 GTST. first Jap car, before this I have owned - 91 VN S Pac ( p plater vehicle) Group A Look alike. spent a lot of money on the Suspension/motor. handles incredibly well for a Commodore. - 01 VX SS Commodore ( holden family, so I got holdens) great car, handled like a boat, used 20L/100 for pure V8 Noise. - 96 Hilux RV6 4Runner. massive Lift Massive tyres. Loud exhaust ( live in the Hunter/Central coast.. great for a 4wd ) still used less fuel then the VX SS - Owned too many Road bikes to list My mate Finally convinced me to buy a "Real" Vehicle. So here I am. unfortunately, at the same time I was blessed with a Child, so my 33 was left as stock until I was allowed to put some money into it. Nothing Drastic yet. So yeah, that's my History, and all the basics. Will be joining up as a Official Member soon, commenting etc more. This Forum has already helped me Achieve a Lot.

I am up for this... From the Newcastle end. meeting at Halfway point or is there a Meet up for the Newcastle people before hand?
