Exhaust Systems?

[XKLABA]

If you do the exhaust I first discribed with 1bar of boost ( 3 psi over stock, which is what you get if you pull the restrictor out ) and a good tune you should be around the 240-250rwkw range, so a gain of close to 100rwkw, if you are going to go that way do cam gears also, I have a few different settings for the cam gears on stock cams depending on what kind of power delivery your after

On 1 bar on a stock motor my 32 make 261rwkw

Doing the dump pipes on any GTR is a turbos off job, big job, and I would recommend at that point you install -9s while its apart with 600-1000cc injectors and make getting it tuned worth while

Have you pulled the restrictor yet ?

[bez500hp]

Yeah restrictor is off the car.

Haha now your geting too technical for me im only just learning haha... Ill just start off with a turbo back system and go on from there. Im not looking for big hp just a little more oomf! ill be happy with 20kw let alone 100! Haha thats sick.

How much gains (kw) did you achieve from your exhaust system?

[bez500hp]

Hang on.... So ill be gaining nearly 100 kw at the wheels.....?

[Willis]

No.

[bez500hp]

Ok.

[XKLABA]

Yes from full stock, IF, you do full exhaust with tune and cam gears and 1 bar boost

My car had 140rwkw @ 12psi ( stock boost ) when I first brought it and I now have 261rwkw @ 15psi and 293rwkw @ 19psi

Power mods on my car are

CES factory dump pipes and front pipe

MetalCat metallic cat convertor

HKS catback

I have pod filter with Z32 AFMs, but the stock box is fine at these levels

Cam gears

Boost controller

Apexi Power FC

I still have the stock ceramic turbos and untouched manifolds

[bez500hp]

Thats heaps sick

Ive got a dyno sheet reading i think it was 160kw and that was before the restrictor was taken out.

And on 19psi you ran a 11.13 quater mile?

[XKLABA]

Yeah 11.13 @ 123mph, I've had my 32 since 2002 and have done a few hundred passes plus a few hundred laps of various circuits, so I have learnt how to get the best out of that car

160rwkw for a stocker is very good, front pipes, cat and cat back plus a good tune should see you over 220, the dump pipes are a big job to change ( took me 10hrs go change turbos ) and best done when the motor is out or while changing turbos, I spun a big end at Wakefield and put the dumps on while changing the motor

I can replace the rear dump on my 32 with the turbo in place pretty easily now . Haven't touched the front turbo yet (thank Rajab for that).

You're making impressive numbers though. There's still hope for the ceramics!

[XKLABA]

Back one is easy, just wait till you try the front one lol

One of the turbos has to be removed to do the front one, but I can't remember which one

[niZmO_Man]

Probably remove rear turbo (which isn't that hard, once you've taken it off twice ). Front one looks damn near impossible.

[bez500hp]

Lucky i wont be doing it then.... My wallet wont like it but oh well you get that.

Know of anny good custom exhaust joints i can visit?

Im at Newcastle the furthest ill go is sydney.

[XKLABA]

What about Windsor, Windsor exhaust

[bez500hp]

Yeah they look like they do some good work. Looks heaps expensive too. They got some good reviews?

[XKLABA]

They did the system in my 34, very nice work and at a really good price, I deffenintly recommend them

I would NEVER push that much through stock ceramic turbos..... they will go pop

[zebra]

How many years has it been Mick?

[Anfanee]

19 PSI through stock R32 Ceramics? FK that. I would run 15 PSI max. Recommend 14 psi to keep it "Safe". Even then they still go. I spat mine out my cat runing 8 PSI. Ticking time bomb.

[XKLABA]

Coming on 12 years now, I wear one set out ( bearings ) and am on the second set that have been in the car since 2008

I figured it was how you drive more then anything so I pick my moments and never hold them there long, ie no burnouts or trackdays on 19psi just drags and dyno runs

[bez500hp]

True.
