Hi guys my r33 gtst is currently running 171rwkw with std turbo set at 10 psi SAFC2 walbro pump and cat back kakimoto exhaust hks pod R34 SMIC.

Question is will there be much gain on adding a high flow cat and also a dump pipe (current dump = std).

And what are the cat and dump from JJR like?

Thanks

JJR dump pipe is brilliant ...

excellent fit ... superb flow ...

when i fitted mine up boost jumped from standard 7 psi to 14psi ... which obviously caused issues with the standard ecu ...

the only trouble is that one of the turbo water lines need to be slightly bent to ensure enough clearance.

Just Jap don't make their own high flow cats though they use x-force ones :woot:

best bet ... get a JJR split dump pipe and a high flow metal cat or catco cat :)

hmmm i had the same problem with the JustJap split dump pipe so i exchanged it for a Xforce Bell Mouth dump but yeah go the Hi flow cat or maybe the cat replacement pipe? im sure you'll get a gain but as said before the side mount could be changed for front mount i guess....:)

Cheers

his got a r34smic(good for upto 220rwkw on rb20det's) his currently running 171rwkw.

get the combined dump and front pipe and 3" high flow cat dude. whether its a split or bellmouth dump thats up to you.

when you change turbos THEN grab a fmic.

goodluck

Some members claim that xforce cats are good...and i have no reason to doubt them...but personally i steer clear from them...

I had one on my R32 Gtst with a HKS2535 and after tune i only got 200rwkw...that was really low and my tuner and i were scratching our heads trying to find the cause of the low power...a restrictive cat was a possible cause...i decided to go for it and shelled out $400 for a Metal cat...immediately the difference was noticeable with boost coming on much earlier and harder...a retune and run on the dyno saw a decent power increase with power rising from 200 to 215rwkw with just the change of the cat and a retune...midrange also improved tremendously...obviously the power gain was also due the the fact that my tuner could dial in alot more ignition timing due to the reduced restriction in the exhaust...but it proved that in my case the xforce cat was crap...

Take what you will from this but i hope it is reason enough to pass on the xforce cat...and as for the dump pipe...yes there will be a noticeable increase so if you don't have one already then go for it...

I have had good results with the magnaflow ones too...i'd be inclined to go magnaflow over xforce...and recently the metalcats seem to be having a bad rep due to it collapsing...hasn't happened with mine but i'll monitor it...

$250 for a 4" one seems decent...

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
