In saying that the first thing I noticed when changing to a 3.5 inch y pipe collector was how quick they spooled up in comparison. Quite a noticeable improvement from 3800 and had to adjust the ebc to stop a spike.

Here's a dyno of the Z-tune with same exhaust as mine except it's titanium. Much better graph but I guess it's all the work done to the motor internally that makes the difference. So now every one knows much power the Z-tune really makes, he he.

Isn't single 3.5 the same surface area as twin 2.5?

Id say the issue is that its 2.5" at the dumps where in a usual 3.5" exhaust setup it would have a beefier front pipe....

Just saying things for the sake of things

So after 2 years its finally time to bring a conclusion to this thread. Most of the lag has been fixed since last dyno run and only 2 parts were changed.

Replaced stock twin turbo pipe with Nismo inlet pipe, this I think made the biggest difference to the response and driveability of the car. Boost was slightly higher and coming on earlier as well. Despite what some people have said, this part made the biggest difference for me.

2nd part was changing the exhaust system. Replaced the nismo exhaust (3 inch) with mine's front pipe and tomei 3.5 inch exhaust. This lowered the restrictions and improved top end.

So in conclusion for low mount twins for driverability and reduce lag, best bang for buck is better merger of twin turbo pipe and bigger exhaust. All other mods such as dumps pipes, intercooler, intercooler hard pipe, decat, etc although made a small difference to mid-high did not do much to low-mid and driverability.

Dyno graph to follow.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
