Sorry guys, picked her up lastnight and have been busy since. RP were under the pump and down on employees, they have so many cars down there to finish lol.

R33 GTS-T (~150,000km)

Apexi pod filter

Yellow Jacket coil packs

3 inch turbo back

Blitz CS FMIC

Z32 AFM

Bosch 040

Nismo 555cc

Power FC + EBC kit

HG SS1PU custom (Nissan comp housing instead of ATR43)

258.6rwkw @ 16psi on Shell V-Power (98)

Going from 3" down to 2.5" is not a good thing and given how the boost trails off about 3 psi I'd say your right and it is a restriction of some sort

I always say fix what you know is not right before something that might not be right, remove the 2.5" section and make it all 3" and see if that helps then go from there

Mani, run 3" all the way from turbo back. All you can do is eliminate one variable at a time, but you'll spend a lot of money chasing those few extra kw. For all you know your engine could have less than ideal compression and you'll never fix that without a bottom end.

There's nothing trick about my setup, I just spent good money on the components that affect power/reliability and probably got lucky with the condition of my engine. It made 170rwkw on standard boost, standard turbo, with just the exhaust and front mount.

While we're here, the exhaust was $500...custom mild steel 3" mandrel bent w/X-Force cat. Idiots go and spend $1500 on a big brand, sounds-like-farting stainless system, thinking that the 3 inch diameter of one will flow better than the 3 inch of another. It's not a complicated science.

Cheers for all the information guys.

I was thinking the same thing with just make the system a consistant size all the way through.

From the figures I provided.

Is my dump pipe actually 3inch or 3.5?

I measured it across the face and it came to exactly 8.5cm which measures 3.3inches

why dont you also crank up some boost with a EBC, make it 19psi spike and hold 18.. then fry some tyres :woot:

It's running 20psi and bleeding to about 16psi

If it could hold the 20 then that would be great but I will work on that soon

Actually , in comparison to the others there not much difference, everyones around 250-260kw, your matching hypergears graph most of the way, it probably nothing to do with exhaust restriction, more about boost and engine condition and tune/timing etc, even different dyno ? thats looking pretty good for only 16psi.. id just replace cat and get it holding 18psi, could be 20kw's or more left in it

Edited by AngryRBGTX

I would replace the cat with atleast a 3" 100 cell cat. Stepping down to 2.5" cat is not good for flow. And if your running a gutted caf on the street be prepared for some trouble with EPA ect.

Cheers Josh.

you've

actually got more than birds at 110 and 130km's, so its looking good,

with water meth and boost you might make it close to 290-300

yeah a mid range spike is often good for some extra kws...

if you have a water meth kit put it on and you cat would be best to be the same size as your exhaust.... but other than that don't worry cause your cars fine Mani...5-10kws can always be just a dyno variance anyway..just go drive the thing..I wanna see you do a 1.10 at wakie before you come back here moaning again.. ;)

Yeh I wouldn't be too concerned about 5-10kw dude. That's nothing. Go take it to the drags and see what trap speed you can get (I don't think the results you got from the airfield are very accurate, otherwise you definitely have nothing to worry about!).

If you get anything close to my 108mph, then come back and we can cry together :P

Haha will do!

Got myself a 3.5 inch Venom 100 cell just to be safe.

This will come in handy anyways when I put the water meth kit in.

Measured my exhaust again and the inside of the dump = 3.5 inch

I also took the cat off and measured after it (between cat & muffler) = 3.5 inch

So this should be a perfect size.

Do people normally weld it straight to the original exhaust?

no put flanges on it so you can bolt/unbolt it...my exhaust is all in one piece and its a pain in the ass when you have to work on it cause you cant drop it in sections..which usually results in me standing there holding it for ages while scott welds shit to it...not fun :/

Yeh get flanges put on it man. My exhaust guy gets his mild steel 3" flanges for $6 or something. The number of times I've taken my exhaust off, I would've set the car on fire if the exhaust didn't come off in sections.

this! or you can get 3" SS v-band clamps for around $30

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
