you "could" do this.. 3" dump -> Cat (because we are sensible) -> 3.5" Cat Back... plumb gate back into 3.5" cat back.. bypassing the cat :)

legal enough.. at EPA they won't be cracking gates.

If your bypassing the cat you might as well not have one

But on doodling you're doing the right thing.. external is for party time!

Also when they test your car for emissions it's like at 100kPa or so which means the gate is shut so all your exhaust is flowing through the cat.

On another note, regardless of bypassing cat on noise or not it's still going to make less pollution than a VW, or Audi or Skoda, etc. Lol

And std ecu Ducati's [emoji23] they also run so lean they occasionally stall and run so hot that they burn your legs.

You guys realize the gate is shut when its building boost....

Exactly.^^^^^

Can't see how plumbing the screamer back in can contribute to lag. When building boost the only thing that causes back pressure issues is the size of the dump.

Well the example I gave was pretty basic if a 3 inch exhaust was used for these 450wkw power levels obviously it would be too small but if an external gate was used it wouldn't be so much of a problem in this case it would affect the midrange dramatically from too much back pressure, think about it.

My point was if you don't need to plumb the gate back in then I don't think you should but if your like Paul and you hate the sound of a gate then do it properly like he is and go big and all should be fine.

Anytime you merge two pipes into a collector there's always a compromise in out right flow it may not be much but it still exist.

I think you are getting confused. The gate is shut to a predetermined pressure commonly controlled by an ebc, therefore there is no positive pressure on the gate diaphragm. So if the spring pressure is 15psi then the you set the ebc to 14 psi. The gate remains shut to that point, so no flow through the screamer, so it's impossible to contribute to lag.

If when its open when the screamer and dump is flowing and the exhaust hasn't got enough flow then you will encounter all the symptoms on a restrictive system where your power plateaus, boost targets cant be achieved....etc etc. But this will only happen if the exhaust system is restrictive AFTER the union of the dump and screamer.

Has nothing to do with lag which is when and how quickly boost transitions.

If the dump is too small, then yes it will cause lag, as we all know, but an open or plumbed scream makes no difference until the gate opens above the set level and will only affect higher mid range and top end IF the rest of the exhaust system is not able to cope with the gas flow.

Going single also can be risky if your not willing to external gate to atmosphere, i know people who plumbed back gate into 3" exhaust and wonder why its a laggy pig.

This is your post.

What you wrote is wrong.

Not that I care. Just saying

    • Holy smokes brother. If you get there before me, let me know if that was manageable with a hone. I still haven't done anything with mine and probably won't until I get the car MOT'd later this year so that I have another 2 years to do what ever needs to be done. I am at 86.5 now so at least I have the 0.5mm to go up from where I am, but that means new pistons at the very least. Honestly, might consider a stroker at that point.  Cheers
    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
