Hey people..

I just want to know.. is it really essenial to have these mods in your car. My friend told me that its really not worth it if you dont rev it up to around 700rpm.

The mods for my car is practically stock, only FMIC. So would a dump/front/hi-flow cat increase car response ? more smoother ride? increase kw by? I just want to know if its worth it.

A big dump/front pipe is essencial for letting the very hot turbulent air get away from the turbine.

Cat converters are very restrictive so bigger is better to improve flow.

Revs are only part of the equation, it's total flow that is the deciding factor in the size of exhaust needed. Full exhaust can net you 15rwkws or so if youre lucky

hehe thanx guyz.. i'll get it done asap.

Just went quoting around today. Heard its pretty expensive for dump pipe and front pipe seperately. I guess i have to wait for batmbl to get the products done. his one is pretty cheap for dump + front pipe mandrel bend.

Anywhere else in melbourne you guyz would know that does dump pipes/front pipes/hi-flow cats?

thanx

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
