On a twin 2 inch system

R = 1 inch X pi (3.14) then square it = 9.88 cubic inches

times 2 pipes = 19.77 cubic inches

On a single 3 inch

R = 1.5 inches X pi = 4.7 squared = 22.22 cubic inches

So a single 3 inch pipe has more volumn then a twin 2 inch.

I rest my case...

Why are you talking about cubic inches?

Cubic = Volume

Volume is dependent on length, as V = Surface area x Length. So, if my 10 inch exhaust is 1 inch long, does that mean that my 1 inch exhaust that is 10 inches long has the same flow rate? No, because flow is more highly based on surface area rather than length (Unless you really want to get technical with gas velocity etc)

Hence, my use of surface area of a circle (exhaust size) as a comparo.

Also, fcruz3r, you will be more than happy with the Apexi muffler, STAGEN has one on his car.....AND I WANNA STEAL IT! :laugh:

You could choose between 1x4" pipe or 16x1" pipes out the back as flow is inversly proportional. But this doesn't take into account the boundry layer separation that would create drag at the surface of each pipe which means the surface area has to be minimised. This means the 4" would outflow the 16x1". But just imagine the chicks you'd pull with 16x1" pipes. It'd be fully sick mate..

I don't think mr plod would be worried about that when he see's the pimpmobile, He'd be worried about db and clearance. Then again if he sees a 4" pipe out the back of a stocker, and a discreet pair of 2" out the back of a 600kW firebreather he's probably gonna pick on the 4" because he looks like jailbait.

One day I'll figure out how to separate the quote from the text. but today is not that day.

Thanks alexcim ...the apexi unit comes with a 4 inch inlet so I'd have to step up the current piping ...although there is a hks super dragger unit on ebay which looks oh so tempting :devil:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HKS-SuperDrager-Sta...1QQcmdZViewItem

too bad shipping will cost too much :woot:

You dont want a super dragger eh, went cruising with a mate in his old r33 with one and after 30mins I had to stop and get out, the drone was giving me a headache!

Got the whole end section replaced on saturday...must say that the guy at ian diffens osborne park did a fantastic job ...used 2 mandrel bends, a flange plate and a section of pipe...very pleased indeed.

the muffler does drone quite a fair bit at lower rpms (1.5-2k) but the beauty is at high revs...especially when it pulls past 3k rpm ...the exhaust sound almost completly fades away and all u can hear is the turbo chirping ...and got it mounted high so the body of the muffler is tucked away...very stealthy.

will be looking at a split dump..or a screamer for the next part of my project.

Don't even talk to me bout exhausts I got defected for mine the other week.

While yes I will agree it was loud (altough my kids never complain) the police officer was a dick!!

My exhaust is 3" from the cat bak with a cannon.

Won't even bother to quote the db reading before I got it fixed but it was loud..

Afterwards with the silencer in place and a shit load of steel wool in the guts it still only just passed. (and by saying this the guy felt sorry for and just let it pass)

But now I have the car engineered the Police cannot pick on me anymore.

Now I wish I had just left the car standard would have saved a shit load of money and all the hassles..

huh?

area or a circle is pie x radius squared

radius of a 2 inch pipe is 1 inch

1x1x3.14= 3.14sq inces x2 pipes is 6.28 sqinchs

radius of 3"=1.5

1.5x1.5x3.14= 7.065 sqinches.

2 2"inches has more cross-sectional area than 1 3" pipe...

you all should go back to school... :thumbsup::)

or am I missing the point....

EDIT - looks like I can't add up either. Changed to correct value...

oh sheet...i just got a speed ticket today + 1 demerit....last thing i want is to get my car defected :sleep:

might have my speedo checked....i swear i was doing 70...was picked up doin 78

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
