What is stock? GTSt

[Birnie]

When people say 'stock', i think they are just emphasising the fact that no extra load has been put on the engine. ie. no boost controllers and cams adjustments and blah blah blah.

Exhaust should actually take a load off your engine (but in turn, it runs better so you give it more to compensate hehe)

When I had my R32 which had a stock exhaust system (but pod filter) I played with the boost. I tried to measure reasonably accurately the effects (0-100, some 400m runs etc) and the fastest it was happy at while keeping temps reasonable was about 0.8 bar so about 11psi. More boost actually started to go backwards. I stuffed up once and let it goto 1.1bar, it was slow as thou I didn't hear it detonate suprisingly.

As for my current R33, as per Rev210 ditch the two step its crap... or for a free mod just wire it so its always on asa temporary solution...

what do you mean by, "for a free mod just wire it so its always on asa temporary solution.." ?

as in just a standard bleed valve?

thx

[pushead]

my interpretation of 'stock' is straight factory standard nothing more.

people say its stock so when u get owned on a race u can say its stock compaired to your etc etc..

My car is stock......nothing at all, not even a sports filter, but its still got enough power to do what most others cant.

yeah thats why my cars stock except for pod, zorst, rb26, supercharger, another zorst, 5 turbos, 10 stickers ... kekeke

and to the guy with a quiet 5zigen exhaust?? are u sure its quiet?? or is it quiet compared to others LOL .. cause mine is quiet compared to others ... its jasma too... dont' know the brand ... but u can still hear it a mile away

[mupkant]

just threw in a turbosmart bleed valve yesterday afternoon - was quite humid day so left it to midnight

until me and my mate went to tune in the psi

1st gear running on 10psi

while 2nd & 3rd gets 9-10 psi

4th goes to 9-10 psi but drops to 8 psi

yep ibleeded my bitch to 9-10 without any mods, YEP NO exhuast just K&N filter

performance? - yep 1st gears kicks in harder and i can feel the car pushing harder at high revs.

what are my chances up agaisnt a

stock gtst with 3" CAT back not boosted (7pis standard)

will i eat ihm alive or shall it be close?

gonna arrange a run with him this weekend ;o

wish me luck

[RBN1]

with a catback it would be close cause exhaust mods affects boost levels.

I was beaten by a 32 with a 3" turbo back (nothing else) when all my car had was 13psi boost. The other 32 just pulled away at higher rpm's. (my mates car)

yeh my one is pretty quiet man. Its louder than stock but not by much. You may be right tho. I have to get someone to give it a bit of a thrashing with me watching it from the side to hear what it sounds like.

With the windows down u can hear it droning in the background a little.

Had my car now for 6 months bought it completely stock! First mod was a 3" turbo back exhaust with a high flow cat and pod air filter and boost went up by bout 2psi without a bleed valve to around 8 or 9psi. Added boost controller now running bout 12 and it goes like fark

[RBN1]

yeh one thing good about getting a better exhaust is how the power comes in way earlier and the increase in torque.

tis nice

[mupkant]

guess im farked then =

I also purchased a factory stock skyline. Standard exhaust, air box and everything else.

It's a good thing to do as I can notice huge differences with every mod I do.

I recently had a custom exhaust made and fitted with a BMW racing muffler to be a little different.

I noticed phenominal differences with the exhaust, new air pod.

[A§H]

mupkant i know what it feels like to buy a stock 33 and to be broke, just have a few quiet weekends and save for the full exhaust system its worth it! as QuickR33Melb said it makes a phenominal difference

QuickR33Melb if you have just added the zorst and pod I think you will find that you will need a new clutch soon cos that extra power and boost just munches the stock one (just found that out)
