So my guess is its probaly in the centre resonator bit or it doesnt actually go gay at all and my cooler is restriction

Have a good look just before/after resonators/mufflers. Usually it's given away by a small reduction in the outside pipe diameter, it drops down just a bit.

Not always the case but the vast majority of (quiet) Jap exhausts I've seen have it done this way if you cannot see the obvious one from the rear end.

Pretty easy to confirm restriction on dyno anyway, just drop the exhaust post-dump, see what happens

Yea rear cannons deffiently staraight through.Theres no drop in the pipe size but could still have some thing in the centre res.Im just going to leave it and find a 3.5-4" exhaust for it for events and put the blitz back on for the st.

Tune with track exhaust and let it be restricted on the st

I wish this had been discussed a couple of months ago. I recently bought a Kakimoto Hyper Full Mega N1, supposedly 90mm throughout. Upon inspection when it arrived, it was stepped down going into the centre muffler, yet maintained the 90mm external dimensions. Fitted the exhaust anyway and even without dyno results, I can tell you that performance has been choked up. The turbos aren't spooling as quickly and I'm not nearly making as much power. Very disappointing

It is verry dissapointing a big well made jap exhaust has these restrictions i noticed mine with the fact i made 350 on 98 changed to e85 and changed exhaust and still made 350 up top

Dyno shows this fingers crossed it was the change of exhaust that caused it

Thats unfortunate - Could you possibly go back and get them to drop the exhaust then rerun on the dyno to see if thats the restriction?

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Exhaust end of this month, and then tune after that whenever there is availability. Still tossing up between a pure 98 tune or a flex 98/e85 combo.  The (lack of) milage in e85 isnt great. Start to get anxiety if i go for a long drive and there arent any united servo's nearby

      I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.
