I just put one of these on my R32, its good but is a very tight fit and took a long time for the exhaust shop to bolt up. Anyway I just want to know, If I put a stock R33 turbo on my Rb20, will the exhaust still fit?

Yes

just fit mine, will post the ics up after i get them outa the camera soon ish

mine fit rather well to the turbo, sits a little higher that the stock item, ie closer to the chasis of the car.

my only problem is that my catco widebody cat is dodged. its got the bloody flanges at the wrong opposing angles....

hmmmm the one part i bought second hand.... figures.... going to have to go and get it cut and welded back together if i can... shits me...

p.s.

5 hrs getting through rusted bolts with shitloads of wd-40 is a frign JOKE man... only 1 snapped and it was on the stock cat.... bonus... tommorow i get to dril it out so i can put it in so i can drive to a frign exhuast shop and pay some extorsional prices to fit it.... bahhhhh.... any volunteers in the blacktown area want to do it for sub $100 an a case of your choice of piss?

anywho... thats IF! i can find one open on a sunday.. doubtfull

mannn my spanker new 3" system... GRRR!

got my fmic, 3" split front an dump and 3" cat back.... and my stock compliance cattt barrr...

ima go shower... misses will upload picy's peace fulas

so your telling me that you gained 15rwkw just by boing from a bellmouth to a split dump? WOW just wow. how restrictive was your old belmouth? i wouldnt expect such a gain but im still amazed.

i had just found the JJR ones befor i brought a seccond hand one. the one i brought was suposed to be made by a private engerniring firm but it looks a lot like the Batmbil ones but its only a dump pipe its not like there is a million ways to make one. im happy with mine so far but its odd as the pipe has been tig welded and looks hot but the flanges and oxygen sendor hole looks like it has been welded on with a stick there is spit every where. this is a seccond hand pipe and i couldnt belive that someone had had it on there car with all the excess welld on the inside of the pipes. first thing i did was get the die grinder out and flow it properly. i cant wait to get it on thoe.

if i had to get a new one id get one of the JJR ones.

Just thought I'd jump in here, lil off topic. . . I have had a BATMBL SS Pipe for nearly a year now, and the quality is quite good, car gained power etc, but its quite slow to get on boost. . . It has a full circular separator that is supposed to seal on the turbine outlet, not just an 'eyebrow'

Do you think this could be choking the flow down low? The top end is still good, previously no boost control and now a Profec B II, didn't really help much

Cheers

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
