Hi,just installed a 3" dump pipe (thanks to Darrinspencer for selling it :P ),now...

Is it common to have a lot more heat under the bonnet?

Should i have used heat wrap?

Is it common to hear the turbo spoolinga lot more?

Call me idiot but ...done it myself i'm not sure what to spect...Thanks a lot for any answer.

yeah heat wrap it Freddy. i didnt mine down to the cat. just cause i dont want all that head around the gearbox :P . still fair amount of heat under the hood, but not much you can do about that.

and yeah spooling will happen. and when you put your foot into it. you'll notice the difference. on dyno sheet its nice and clear :P 30kw gain for me :P

I will wrap it(now that's intalled will be more difficult)TJ do you have the factory bracket??,spoll is nearly instant,+ a little more spicking...BTW sounds better...here is the proof

while wrapping your dump pipe in heat wrap (fibreglass wrap) offers good protection for the carbody and other parts near the exhaust, it can also rust the exhaust/dump pipe prematurely. the wrap soaks up water when driving through puddles and in the rain, it can retain the water which gets through to the pipe and rusts it out. i have seen people that use heat wrap, paint over it with a high temp exhaust paint to offer a barrier against water for the heat wrap. of coarse if you have a stainless pipe you have nothing to worry about :D

    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
    • Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.
