Does it guzzle fuel?

only when the motor starts :)

You can see it splashing out the back when you press it,coughing and farting but not as bad as I thought it would.

I still think it was thirstier when it was a 26 , I had to push it harder , now I get better results at lower revs, if that makes sense :/

What is so good with it as a 3.2 is how linear it is from the start, it goes hard but feels like you have the control on the twisty bits. I think the car works great as an all rounder , but i am biased :blush:

cant believe how (if its actually) rich this car is running

well , the plugs get black dry fouled, blows soot out the back, back fires and farts coming down step hills, goes tits up at higher revs and smells rich, could be rich, how rich, wish I was this rich :)

why is that, it is good for over 700HP and it is nowhere near that ???

Small turbine housing, restrictive exhaust with a big pump (engine)... engine is choking.

3.5" will do it... a 2" will 'do it' but why would you want to? Biggest exhaust you can then try and make it quiet with highest flowing mufflers you can if that is an issue.

Surely 3.5" all the way with a free flowing Cat and Muffler should be enough for my goals, I am not chasing every last KW out of the build. I wanted a strong motor that will last as a DD and let me play when I want :)

Really, what a cock of a size, 3.5" should still be good enough

Gotta be better then 3" :(

where down pipe clamps onto the back of the turbo it is 3" outside i diameter , this goes down to the 3" Cat, then it comes out and steps up to 3.5" exhaust

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
