itll flow better make more power, probably get abit more boost on the stock solonoid if you still run it, sound nicer and be louder.. if you get a half descent cat aswell it would more than likely have better emissions aswell as your old cat would more than likely be a fair bit past its used by date

those cheap 3 inch xforce cats for 175 do the job for a budget job.. you can get better ones with metal cores that flow more for around the 400 mark

a full 3 inch exhaust will be the best bang for buck upgrade youll ever get from your car :cool:

Benefits. If you have low flow cat you will pick up some HP..and flames

Debenfitis. That's not a word..but marks for being creative :blush: . The car will probably spew nasties out the tip and I believe it's quite a big fine for attempting to ruin our fragile planet

Pick up used cat, gut it and run a piece of pipe through. At least that way if they have a look you've got half a chance. Not that I condone breaking the law

just thought I should mention mate, you have a white car.... so do I.... I gutted my stock cat and put it back in...flowed that much better.... got a decent amount of extra power.... BUT... because our cars are white and the petrol company's put "cleaning agents" in petrol... the carbon monoxide that is normally filtered from the cat now comes straight out the back.... its a yellow residue that after about a build up of a week or two will make the back of your car completely poo yellow.... which you then have to cut and polish off or use waterd down degs... any more then two weeks if a cop picked u up and knew anything about exhausts would give you a good slap even though you appear to have a stock cat in there...(big fines so I hear)

in conclusion I am now sick of being paranoid, sick of cleaning it constantly and sick of the horrible yellow... so I am going to spend the cash and get a nice highflowing metal cat and done is done!

btw.... I also have had a cheapi xforce highflow... going from a gutted cat to that was a big loss of power...if I was you... either gut your cat for the cheap option or spend the cash on a metal core.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
