yeah im gonna keep the stocko one, but il just wanna geta hi flow one to replace the standard one anyway. i just wanna keep it all legal. i mean really im not at the point withthe car that the flow is gonna be affected that much with a hi flow cat there or bash out one. it doesnt really matter to me.

haha thats gold

i must ask, y do you want the entire exhaust system stainless? i mean its not like itll be seen at all

well the car came with a kakimoto cat back stainless exhuast on it, and now i have just got a front pipe and dump pipe that are stainless also, so all i have to get now is a cat, so why not just make it stainless aswell. to finish off the exhuast

I had no choice for my exhaust modifications.. Andrew had the car one day and came to pick me up from work and it was like 10 times louder.

yeah i have seen ppl put a straight thru pipe into a cat and weld it on so it looks like a cats there. im just trying to think how different it will sound with a fullsystem. so far ive managed to get away with thefront pipe and dump pipe all in stainless for $200

fair point

i picked up my new bottom end today :)

will be pulling out the 26 tomorrow and pull the head off to see what actually let go in it. then the 26 head and 30 bottom end are off to JHH next saturday to be built (fingers crossed nothing goes wrong)

if all goes to plan itll be back on the road in 3 weeks time, making some big numbers ;)

Is it worth spending that much money though on something that will do the same thing as something cheaper?

Is there really any benefit in getting a stainless one? Is it less restrictive?... Gains more power?... Not much difference at all.. just looks shiney?

so did u break the GTR already?? what happened??

id say there is no difference between stainless and mild steel, it just wont rust out, but since i have the system all the way from turbo to bumper in stainless, why not just get a cat to go with it. plus if i got one without a flange, i dunno if they can weld stainless to mild steel or not?? im not sure on that one.....

yep broke a few weeks ago whilst i was going to go for a drive with ben & dale

starting knocking at the toowong roundabout, turned around and made it home, knocks like crazy now though. we think its bearing related, find out for sure tomorrow :)

managed to pick up a recently rebuilt (200kms on it hone marks in bores still present) 30 bottom end with forged pistons (20 thou over) n1 oil pump, for $650 hehehe

so are they gonna bore it out then put over sized pistons in it???

nah thats already been done, just need forged rods, decent bearings. heads getting ported, exhaust side ports are getting re-profiled, whole thing balanced, sump being modified with a trust enlarged sump, oil galleries being fixed up appropriately for track work etc etc

sounds like your gonna spend a bit of cash on it then...... its hould be mean :)

yeh it should pull pretty good ;)

i only brought the stocko engine onto boost twice! i drove it back from newcastle off boost the whole way caus the clutch was stuffed that bad, then after putting the clutch in i smacked it side on into a gutter bending the left rear control arm, then the sat i got that fixed the engine let go

going to leave the stock turbos on for awhile and see what power i can get out of them, then i'll go the gtrs's :P

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
