Well i know this thread is pretty much answered for ya now, your set up looks good.

I have an Rb25 running a GT35 with a 1.06 housing a bit laggy for street but it comes on hard, it puts out 330rwkw on 1.6bar at 19 psi.

So i am sure you will push out a bit more being a 26.

I see a lot of you guys running 3.5 or 4" exhausts with your 3076 and 35R sized turbo combo's, do you notice a good increase with performance running these size systems over a good manderal 3"?

My GT3582R has the 4bolt 3" outlet, wondering if its worth ripping the manderal 3" out and putting a 4" in.

Do you have a screamer or a plumback

Do you have a screamer or a plumback

Plumb back in a long smooth radius right before the bottom flange of my down pipe, I run a turn down off the down pipe for drag's. I dont run a cat, dont need to, and from my down pipe to the tail pipe there is less than 80 degree's of bend threw out the system.

My problem with going bigger than 76mm is ground clearance, some roads suck here, and on the street I like it to be fairly quiet, but if there is decent performance to be made, well yeah :wave:

Sounds like you already have a decent system, so if noise, ground clearance are issues for you, i wouldn't think it would warrant the effort (power) for you to go to 4"

If your starting from scratch ;) thats another matter

Unfortunately due to clearance in the engine bay, i had to use a 3 inch dump pipe and then it goes into 4 inch about a foot from the turbo. Ill be plumbing the screamer pipe into the 4 inch section when i get sick of the noise.

Ive got a trust exhaust that is really straight and really loud, but it does siit low. I think ill be getting the hangers modified so that it sits higher, as there is alot of room between the body and exhaust.

On another topic, do you guys know if a 4 door r32 gtst exhaust will fit an r32 2 door? Also, will an R32 gtr exhaust fit my R32 gtst? Ive got a choice between two in order to pass this noise test.

Thanks,

Shaun.

I was running a 3.5 to 4 inch exhaust and the turbo didnt kick in till 4500rpm, i actually changed it to a straight through 3 inch and it cut the lag down by 500 - 700 rpm. The three inch feels more responsive.

I think the R32 GTR exhaust will fit with a few little mods. Have you looked at the N1 apexi exhaust.

Obviously the drop in velocity makes a big difference, Ive got my RB stuck in an S14 so its also very tight and can only fit 3" for a down pipe with my top mount GT35,

Ill keep the system like it is :banana: and besides, 4" stainless here would work out to about $1000 excluding the flex pipe and mufflers.

I didnt think that exhaust size would make a difference in boost threshold?? Wouldnt a larger exhaust make the turbo spool up quicker? Im not arguing or anything, i just didnt think about it.

Where are you from, for interests sake?

South Africa,

I think the added velocity in the piping would help a bit, obviously with in reason...Not that it should be used as an example but if you look at N/A cars how much a to large exhaust system hurts performance, that is because there is no velocity, not saying its the same on F/I cars, but you might find it has a similar effect.

I know we just did 2 Seat Cupra touring cars (2L FSI turbo VW motors) at work and they have a very specific exhaust diameter they are spec'd to run with (besides for homoligation), one of the Spanish guys setting the car up was jabbering somthing about optimum flow while not hurting velocity, Suppose the only way to really know if your system is optimal for your setup is a lot of dyno work coupled with a exhaust presure and flow logging system (way to much effort!!!)

  • 4 weeks later...

hey guys I just thought I would throw this in. I run an almost standard setup with a single gt35r .63 housing on my GTR with excellent response and great power figures.

It has run 301 rwkws at 16psi on a very basic tune and I am yet to tune it properly.

I am running a 50mm external gate in order to accomodate the exhaust flow.

I have not had any boost problems or lag or any problems relating to running out of flow in the high rev range.

^^^^^That makes me a bit worried about my 1.06 turbine housing. Hope the boost threshold isnt too high. Although i do have 9:1 compression.

Anyway, mine gets tuned on the 23rd, after 3 years off the road.

Shaun.

Built one with a .63 gt35r, 16 psi saw 309RWKW, and 19 psi saw 326 on a stock rb26 with djetro and injectors.

MINE MINE MINE MINE,

still going strong, although needs a tune, nudge nudge wink wink. I am happy to give hand jobs in the corner.

boost pressure and any other details?

Reco engine with Arias pistons and N1 pump,Twin plate clutch,quality Exhaust manifold ,cooler,exhaust,Quality coil overs,Lots of time on the dyno,Tuning and playing with Cam timing.

PM Bayley on the 31 forum for a copy of the time card.

shaun if you could please can you pm me some pics of your engine bay. Also ppl im putting a gt3082 onto my rb26 powered gtst 33 i think with stock engine and 20psi plus should see 400rwhp :domokun:

    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
