Alright, I've currently got the stock exhaust with 3" cat back (gay as)...

I'm pretty retarded with cars, but slowly learning. Any advice would be fantastic.

Looking at going 3" turbo back.. Best to buy separately and fitted at an exhaust shop? Or buy through them?

Wanting something high flow, dont care about noise (quiet is fine) and will help power/overall sexiness

Also, should I aim to spend about $1k fitted??

Just Jap is a forum sponsor they can supply both a dump/front pipe and a cat but I would go for a larger bodied cat if you want the least restriction.

Venom exhaust works and email George direct.

3" all the way through and you can't go too far wrong.

So google both of those, buy them and then take it to an exhaust shop asking them to fit 3" all the way through??

you've already got a 3in catback? So you just need the front pipe and 5in cat fitted.

Ok great, that would make sense haha..

See i've learnt something today and it's only 7:40am!

www.justjap.com

if your car is auto try and get the jjr front and dump and the bend in it..

i got one for a 33/stagea but its was dead straight and had to be cut and welded to go around the gear box..

fun times!

mine is a manual... its not a car if you cant shift gears :P

it says the 500 is recommended for +350rwkw etc... is it still applicable for cars with less than those figures?

Dont worry about taking it to an exhaust shop. U wont learn anything that way. Buy urself a set of spanners, a pair of stands, a jack and change the front pipe and cat yourself. Its literally a dozen bolts. Even a total novice could knock it out in 1 day and it will save on the reaming u'll get from the exhaust shop.

My mate reckons it'd be a nightmare job for a rookie like myself??

Also he reckons given the heat of the turbo, the bolts would be hard to get off??

Before ya start ripping into it get yourself some "Penetrene" or similar quality penetrant in a squirty bottle & some safety goggles. :yes:

Cheers GW

I gotta agree with that. A good penetrant will help. Mine came loose without it, but every car is different. Just allow yourself the whole weekend and u'll definately get it done. Just take the cat off 1st. Then work your way forward. Its alot easier from under the car so ull want to get it up on stands with enough room to move round. Take ur time and remember if u get frustrated u'll break stuff. So walk away, clear ur head and give it another go.

All of the above. It's good to have them on hand too for future DIY'S.

Also wondering if u got a hold of George? I've yet to get a reply from him..and it's been 2 days. I'll give him another day...I don't want to seem too keen.

Perhaps think about replacement nuts and bolts, gaskets, gasket goo etc before you tackle it....or at least make sure the nearest auto shop has things you might need in stock.

Thats a reminder! I usually change to stainless bolts on exhausts cos if u ever need to pull the exhaust off (which u will if ur on a hunt for power. Changing gearboxes and diffs etc.) they wont be rusted up. :)

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
