I have heard that Hallam Performance Exhausts are good, give them a call. Check www.yellowpages.com.au etc. You can get custom stuff made too of course.

Probably easier to get the one place to do it all. Unless you want a Jap brand exhaust, then it would be cheaper to source one s/hand and then have someone fit it. Check 4 sale section on here, I know a couple of melbourne guys were selling cat-backs fitting your description [CR34TION & ylwgtr2 I think].

hey djr33, in my opinion I think its better for a workshop to do it, u get a reciept and if anything goes wrong they are liable for it.

My 32 came wit an exhaust although I got a high flowed cat installed at Casey Exhaust and I am very happy with their job and recomend them. I believe that they do Blitz exhaust's also. If you think of talking to them tell them Mark with the white r32 skyline reccomended you!

take it easy mate

:P

done my exhaust myself, the front pipe etc was done buy a shop because of of them dont line up. The cat Hi flow and the rest of the exhuast i done myself. High flow cat from one shop with flanges put on 3inch and the 3.5 inch cat back hks supper dragger was a heavy ****er but i got it done myself. I would be more than willing to help you out if you get like a jap exhaust, like a premade one. PM me if you need some help installing. Cheers Rob

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
