hey guys, i was wondering if a r33 aftermarket turbo exhaust will fit a non-turbo r33. i know the turbos need the dump pipe. i just cant seem to find a non turbo exhaust anywhere. i have looked in the forums and could not find my answer, please help!

yeah it should if its a catback system.

just buy a muffler of your preference then go local exhaust workshop n get. 2.5 inch piping fitted from cat back. i wouldnt go larger than that as na with exhaust with drone.

i have a cannon muffler stainless steel for 50bucks if u want then just buy piping should be like 250 fitted.

the cat back section will fit, but a 3" exhaust on a NA is going to be LOUD!!!! and will reduce low down power. as shorty said above, just go to your local exhaust place and get something made up.

+1

When I bought my non-turbo '33 it had a 3" exhaust on it, and it was VERY loud, which I didn't have a problem with really, but it was more the annoying drone that got to me. I got EPA'd for it eventually and got a 2.5" system made up at an exhaust shop, which brought it down to exactly 90dB (the legal limit)... still fairly loud, but NOTHING like it was, and no drone any more. With the 2.5" setup, it certainly had a lot more low-down grunt than the 3" system, which really only started to pull as you approached the redline and was quite gutless down low... not all that practical!

thanks a lot for the help guys. I'm not sure which way i wanna go with my car either. right now it has complete cream and white suede interior and is sitting on chrome 18s with gold inserts, its a very sexy car. i enjoy the sex spec type of cars :(. i also want to get more power out of it, so i was thing of putting a straight through 3" exhaust with a varex cannon so if i choose to turbo in the future the exhaust is accounted for already. i don't think i can get descend power out of it being NA.

oh it sounds sexy as hell, im sure all the women throw their pantez at ur windscreen!

the chromz must make all the holdens jelous!

on a serious note:

for parts - these come to mind:

nengun

justjap

import monster

or im sure a local exhaust shop could locate something to suit.

btw....wtf is sex spec type of cars?!?

Multiple people have mentioned it, so even though you're obviously going to ignore this and do what you think is best anyway, I'm going to repeat myself: a 3" exhaust on a 2.5L NA engine is just TOO BIG... not because of the noise (though it is obnoxiously loud), not because of the "drone" (though it will give your passengers, if not yourself, a headache if driven for a long period of time), but because it moves the efficiency range of the engine too high up the rev range. Just when it starts to peak (as much as it can when NA), you need to change gears.

2.5" is the largest you want to go with NA... some suggest 2.25", but as I've had no experience with this I can't comment - I just know that going from 3" to 2.5" there was a NOTICABLE increase in low-down torque resulting in a much more "driveable" car... less clutch slip and fewer downshifts required as the power was where you needed it.

http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=htt...=1t:429,r:4,s:0 perfect example of a sex spec car. not sure if most people would like it, but i saw it cruise through civic (Canberra) and every girl on the strip was starring.

but anyway, i was thinking extractors, 2.5" exhaust (do brands tend to make a difference?) ,larger throttle body and i will have a car will abit of go but much more efficient on petrol and reliable then a turbo r33. i also have a good cai set up.

Re: that car in the pic, all the girls were looking because it appeals to them.... they would like to own/drive that car... not have sex with the person that owned that....

1. You don't need a larger throttle body, if anything will probably make your car less responsive - unless you have over 300rwkw dont worry about it

2. Most n/a cars are less efficient on petrol then turbo cars.... the turbo takes the load off the motor, I realise the turbo puts more air into the motor and you need more fuel with more air, but its better the car is on 3,500 going up a hill with the turbo going then at 5,500 with an n/a.... when I had a n/a i was getting 350km to the tank... when i first turboed the car with everything stock, I was getting 425km to a tank

the reason turbo cars are bad on fuel is because of the way their drivers use it..

3. reliability? maybe a tiny bit... you have one less moving part then the turbo guys, but i dont think that makes a huge difference

have you changed the compression since you have turbo d the car? did you fit it necessary?

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
