Just wanting to know peoples thoughts about running a very restricted exhaust only at cruise and idle?

My car in question is an R34 gtt with 290rwkw, all the usual mods.

could it really do any damage running the exhaust closed basically only at idle and cruise?

it only makes 290rwkw @ 6000rpm+ remember.

putting around, 2000-2500rpm, it'll be making less than stock most likely so it'll be fine.

use light throttle always. dont full plant it to 2500-3000 type thing otherwise you are forcing etc.

Agreed, at cruising speeds it will be more than fine.

Start flogging it and your asking for trouble, it will back up te system and transfer heat into the cylinders = detonation.

Personally I would pick my poison and stick with it (loud or quiet exhaust). I CBF for these halfway points that are neither as good as either. A crap restrictive version of a quiet exhaust and a dirty untuned sound of a loud one.

I would disagree, if you close the exhaust as stated, then you will generate massive amounts of heat and pressure. Burn valves, lunch turbos etc.

If you are talking about having a 2 or 2.5 inch system on it then it will be fine at cruise and idle.

Maybe a little bit better description of the system that's on it?

These mufflers mixed with a ferrari type actuator setup would be awesome.

Basically as you hit boost an actuator opens up the muffler.

Could also work with an electronic setup based on revs and throttle position

it would agree it can do damage i once had a dc5 type r... and my loud exhaust got defected anyway i bolted up my standard exhaust went to the prick at granville it failed like 1db domokun.gif i wanted to give the guy a beat down for not passing me. Any way getting to the point now i put a hot dog resignator in my standard exhaust and it burnt out the o2 sensors and it was a straight through resignator.

so that defect i laughed at..... bent me over lol.

I could do that. At the moment I've got it hooked up to my G force meter, with a touch of a button it switches off the meet and closes the exhaust. I was thinking about putting an override in connected to the revs, so it opens itself up at 4000 or so... Need a bit of tweaking to the electronics at the moment, so I might write that in.

Yeah Pat, you're a smart cookie. I'm sure you'll have no worries whatsoever wiring it into something like that. Maybe even get one of those things from Jaycar that people use to control VCT when using an RB20 ECU for their RB25 nistune?

I'd rather hook the signal up to my own microprocessor and program it up. On that note, I've had no experience on hooking anything up to the ecu like a taco... does any one know what signal the ecu gives out to the taco? Is it pwm or voltage modulation?

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
