no tom what u SHOULD do is..... unplug and remove it... its actually plugged into a plug just below the carpet infront or under the passengers seat... hellow and white plug setup..... but what i actually did was i cut the fitting off the car and welded it into my new exhaust in the place where the car "should" be.... it cant be a bad thing to have i spose...

And think about your avatar at the same time.....

You make sense whitey, and when I get time I will test to see what voltage it passes, and then short cut it accordingly. Just thought that trail may have been paved.

We run a straight 2 1/2 all the way (Rules prevent anything bigger) and hence no cat. With elf Im not sure what the gas coming out the back is like... but the flames look trick and I dont care about the environment.

I have found before on the forums, while they are fun and generally informative... you can get 236.5 opinions on any topic you post. Which turbo is better, a HITACHI or PANASONIC. Which ECu is best.. Mac or Microsoft.

But ask which pin controls a boost solenoid on a PFC and silence....

Thanks for the input troops...

Got 19 GT-Rs to race... goal, have less in front of me than last year. That was 4.

The probe that goes into the cat is a temp probe that is designed to prevent you from overheating your cat.

Once the the temperature indicates an overheating cat, the stock ecu will put the ecu in limp home mode - and allow it to cool - more environmental stuff that as you indicated, you dont really care about too much (bad tom:p)

I had mine removed (high flow cat didnt have a hole for it) and just tucked into the chassis rail (there is a very handy hole in there) for about 8 months - with stock ecu and power fc fitted - and it made no difference to how the car ran (obviously, it only effects things when it gets too hot).

Not really worth welding in place, as if for some reason you need to swap out, or remove your exhaust, you are turning a 5 minute job into a much larger one - pointless really, but each to their own.

hope that makes sense.

Have rapped in a glad bag and placed beneath the navigators seat.

Zip tied and grommet in the hole.... You have answered my question Steve - The why part - thanks

Skyd... Well you know.

I may be thin on the ground for a couple of weeks, keep up the good work

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
