haha i used to like gate noise but then i didnt like fines and re-cert (in nz). If I was in burnout comp and had pipes i could un-plum i agree they sound the biz.

but they have no biz on the road. kids think they are cool.

Lol so an RB or 2J sound like shit or camrys without gate? You must be deaf from all that gayte brah?

As Joey said whats wrong with some nice induction noise & a nice rumbling RB noise?

Maybe you're driving the wrong car ;)

Just lacks that finishing touch of aggression in the car to me. Im driving the right cars lol got my rb turbo and my charged ls3 both nice and loud ?

I have to agree with Mico.. External gates make the car sound shit.. The gate is generally so loud that the turbo spool can't even be heard.

I have both my gates plumbed in and the car makes plenty of power and response, is legal and still sounds like a screaming jet

This solve an issues. I'm confident with my choice regarding the plumb back then !

Every muffler robs 100 whp? I find that VERY hard to believe.

me too.. all my muffler are bought.. but i could always substitute one muffler for a straight resonator, since they are smaller, they might restrict less.

None the less, I'M pretty sure my 3.5/4 inch exhaust could cope with a 650-700whp build especially considering a 3 inch line has been seen a lot of time on 600whp build.

What the mech said about "every muffler costing 100HP of flow" doesn't necessarily mean that it will cost you an actual 100HP. It's an overstatement anyway, so ignore the actual number. But the real meaning is that every muffler added takes 100HP off the max capacity of that system. If you're only using 75% of that capacity anyway, then that muffler will only cost around 75 HP.

2) As for the oil issue. I decided to go with the tomei pump ( and sell both my N1 used pump and used oem with reimax gearset).

I know the greddy extended pan is not a popular choice here, but i personally know 4 local GTRer who drove with that and no drama happened both in term of oil issue and cracked pan so I will go with the easiest solution. ( i.e: Racefab is approx. 1200-1400 and will be tight to meet my ETA , while the greddy is easy to get and cost 400$) and racefab is also 15mm

3) i went with 1000cc bosh ev14. better be safe. price is difference is quite minimal

4) I will plumb back.. exhaust setup seems okay.

5) Now for the ATTKD / Hi-octane / Autech air/oil separator, they will come up at 300$ and most people tell me i should still run this setup in parallel with a catch-can.. makes me wonder if these can are really worth the 300$ or they do very little.. ( keep in mind, i also have mine's cam baffle)

thought on this !? :)

Edited by cobrAA

I found the catch can alone ( in conjunction with the sump to catch can lines) ok ...I like the idea of an air/oil separator to catch any fumes that get past the catch can before they are fed into the turbo intake but with a properly baffled catch can you "should" be ok.

Regarding the trust sump... RIPS offer a pre-weld kit.. looks like a better option lol

Yes I do a pre-welded kit that you then weld into your sump, they are nzd695 + shipping.
The sit only about 5-10mm lower than stock (doesn’t go below the x-member) but are a lot wider, they have a surge tank and baffles and hold an extra 1.5 to 2 liters. We use them on all our high power wet sump motors.

Tomei pump-

Oil restricter-

Mines baffes and vented 2-4lt catch can

Walbro 460 in tank pump

BCPR7ES- .8 plugs

Plumb back the waste gate... properly

Exhaust is a hard one... bigger you go, louder it is... quieter, more restrictive. 400+ rwkw- 3.5" minimum or 4" with as many good quality mufflers as you can get under it.

Simples...

To add to that.

Have a breather from your sump to catch can to get rid of excess crank case pressure

4inch exhaust inc the cat, 3.5 after wards I would suggest

yup this is what i wanted to do but like my mechanic pointed out, the efr 83/74 exit at 3.5inch so he said theres no real advantage beside pricier and bulkier to fit a 4 inch downpipe. Then I told him it was for the plumb back and said well... yeah okay we could but i would stay 3.5inch all the way still.

I'M opening it, shot peening and cryo the gearset /input shaft + new synchro set that will be touched as well.

In all honesty, I hope it hangs together for you... but once you start staring up the skirt of 400+rwkw, 3rd gear just packs up and goes home.

I look at GTR's as either as responsive as possible low mount 380rwkw or balls out torque and lag top mount 450+rwkw with a gearbox and front lsd...

Cheers

J.

a 400+rwkw turbo on an rb26.... to my definition, it will be laggy (-5's are bad enough). If set up correctly, it will be one of the better lag v's power turbo's... but laggy compared to a well set up low mount (N1, GTSS, -7, t517z) rb26.

Being easy on the gearbox will go along way to helping it survive, but 3rd gear just strips.... it just does.

I had a brand new replacement gearbox in my GTR, low mount's and the 3 or 4th pass down the strip 3rd gear just disappeared. I was even granny shifting (not double clutching like I should).

Again, I hope it all goes well for you. I hope you get your oiling system sorted out.... but start saving for a couple of gearboxes or a gear set.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
