naa not 4inch flange, someone said that if you have a 3inch exhaust that i need a 4inch matrix..thats what i ment..does that sound about right?

and i think ill pass on the decat..id be f****d if i get caught haha.

on a side note fellas, if i were to buy a turbosmart boost tee and up the boost to 10psi would i need a boost controller to set it to 10psi or can it be done on a dyno without a boost controller?

Going to buy a 500 series

4" inlet 5" body 100cpsi

250 inc delivery anywhere.

ZUT TUT TUT TUT TUT, basically.

woow you must have some series power..

is metal core better then steele?cheers

not a huge amount mate, just trying to minimise the restriction as much as possible.

Steel is a metal but I think you are asking if a metal cat is better then a traditional ceramic matrix.

most people believe that they are and alot of the literature seems to support it aswell.

if your going from factory exhaust to aftermarket with high flow cat. you will notice alot of difference in response. but if you already have an catback system then changing the cat won't do much. imo if i had $200-300 to spend. i'd get dump pipes + front. better bang for buck mod.

sorry for a stupid question but how does a dumb and fornt pipe help/work?and are they legal(sorry im a noob in cars)

cheers in advance

ceramic is fine, but therefore if you do hit aground or your car is lowered, its better to have a metal cat.

also ceramic is alot cheaper to manufacture.

right so basically get a metal one?provided that money isnt an issue?

p.s if i were to buy a turbosmart boost tee and up the boost to 10psi would i need a boost controller to set it to 10psi or can it be done on a dyno without a boost controller?

the boost tee is the "controller". its pneumatic, it will regulate the boost. yes it should be set on a dyno if you would like it done properly. but more importantly, you will need an after market boost gauge, cos most stock ones are pretty rubbish.

ohh woops i ment do i need a boost gauge not controller haha im not that retarded. ok so i still need a boost gauge and get the boost set at a dyno..too easy thanks for that mate

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
