Hi,

I was wondering if i put a STANDARD RB25 muffer on my *HOT UP* 1.3lt Starlet turbo, would that consider as an upgrade since a standard 2.5lt turbo still by theory flow more than enough for a 2.5inches aftermarket system on a 1.3lt turbo anyway?

Only reason is i've got a 5zigen cannon on it at the moment and its really anoying.

Cheers

just get a proper 2.5" system made up...saves you time and hassle...a 2.5" system on a starlet turbo is about right...i've even seen good results from a 2.25" system...

Mate,

I've got a system, its just the cannon on it that anoy the crap out of me and i'm ain't going to spend $$$ on another aftermarket muffer so i was thinking even standard RB25 muffler should DO THE TRICK.

I had a TX3 turbo ,4wd. Had a big system put on it but the droning noisy was giving me a headache. I tried everthing but couldn't fix it. Went to an exhaust place near me run by an older guy. The problem is with these smaller engines at normal cruising speed is the exhaust gas doesn't fill the muffler so you get this surging and resonance. He had up a mute, really just a washer that fitted in the tip to back choke the muffler and keep it full.

worked wonders, got rid of the droning and since it is so far from the engine it doesn't cause restriction probs.

    • It just occurred to me. The way I am asking for increasing bite as I slow down (ie more bite the more time on the brakes), that is actually sounding like less initial bite, and hence the bite would feel to increase.

    • Sorry, I must've not been clear enough. On my 350GT, the pads originally on the car created dust to high heaven, and did not squeal at any time. I got new low dust pads, that created absolutely NO visible dust, that squealed when cold.  It wasn't  the initial bite, so much as an increase in braking, without extra brake pedal pressure, during a single brake instance. I had to lift off a little as my speed decreased to zero. Loved it! Now on my 370GT, I have to press a little harder as I approach zero. Not hard, just harder. I am too lazy and live in a city block with no room or tools to do it myself, so I would be paying someone to do the switch I looked at the three offerings by Intima, and one of them had a Features line that caught my eye. "Strong initial bite with continual rising coefficient". The problem is that this is on their "Trackday, Time Attack, Sprint" pads, not their day-to-day pads. Its possible that JAX installed track day pads on my 350GT, I just don't know. But I was pretty clear I did not track the car and drove the streets pretty gently. https://intimabrakes.com.au/home-corporate/intima-rr/ I'll send them an email and also check if other pads purport that behaviour.
