Assuming 98, 125-145fwkw, the range allowing for happy dyno but somewhere in there. 








 

Yeah 98 mate. E85 is a bit of overkill for this setup. 

I think that'll be fairly accurate. Around the 145kw mark should be achievable I think. 

 

We shall see though ?

I'm not convinced it'll be that high. Although I like your optimism! 

Back in the old PGA days there were people getting some good  numbers from p12 ve's. Particularly with a good intake manifold, sr16ve n1 cams and a good tune. It may be optimistic.. but i wont be suprised if it goes close. For your enjoyment i hope it does!

Nice.

What's the stubby thing sideways before the rear muffler? Little resonator?

Yeah, spot on, it's a tiny little 4" OD resonator 9" long from memory, exhaust is 3" so it is more or less redundant although it might help take some of the drone/rasp out of the thing, or that's the idea anyhow.

Yes, that is very true. Time will tell, as I'm hooking into the exhaust now. 

I'm still into it although having a little break. 

 

Have achieved a fair bit today. 

 

Anyway I'll let the photos do the talking.

 

Ended up porting the lobster back section, as there was a bit too much penetration where the lobster back sections came really close together.

Hey guys, not a massive update. Although the last one for a week or so. 

The exhaust is completely welded out and hung under it's own weight. New rubbers installed and 304 grade stainless round bar used to make exhaust hangers. 

 

I have 2 or 3 more bends to go, another v band or 2 bolt flange, (haven't decided yet, I have both just in case) and hang the rear muffler

 

I'd say I'm a bit past half way and a bottle and half of Argon through the job.

 

A side note, definitely need to 'upgrade' the nuts supplied on these vband flanges, nyloc nuts aren't going to cut it with heat lol.

Hey guys, a bit of progress today have the rear muffler hung.

 

The rest of my pie cuts are cut and prepped, just need to finish tacking them tomorrow, weld it out and decide on the tip style I'd like to use. 

 

Anyhow, enjoy the pictures.  

 

Thanks for reading ?

Thanks again to all the guys following this thread. 

 

The exhaust is 95% complete. 

 

The whole thing is welded out, I bolted it up tonight, the only thing I haven't done is decide on the tip design. 

However I'm leaning towards just a 3" straight tip, keep the whole thing subtle. 

 

Started it up tonight, it is whisper quiet, which obviously wasn't an accident with all the mufflers in the exhaust. I am extremely happy with it though. 

 

Interior needs to be reinstalled and it'll be off to the tuner. 

 

Thanks again for reading.

I've always been partial to a dump tip.. but whatever gets your pulse racing..

A dump tip is definitely on the cards. I'm going to mock up a 3" dump and a 3" straight, see which one I like more.

 

I'm the other one, not a fan of dump tips, I lke'em straight out. I just have this thing about minimal bends, even when it has zero impact. 

Exhaust looks great, I'm very impressed and wish I had some fab skills lol

I sussed each one out before the muffler was properly mounted. I leant towards the straight tip to be honest. 

 

Just looked 'right' to me, the dump was cool, and would probably grow on me, however when I saw them side by side the straight instantly looked understated, like the rest of the car I suppose.

A man of culture... 

Hmm, we shall see

 

Oh, also in regards to your previous post, the fab work has taken some time, that's for sure. It definitely wouldn't be on the front page of 'weld porn' however it is stuck together ?

I want to learn welding, I got as far as being given a welder by my dad.. I am yet ot buy gas bottle or a mask for it lol 

That's pretty awesome you were gifted a welder dude. 

 

Is it a mig or tig? Assuming it isn't a stick welder if you need gas. 

 

Gas is pretty good these days.

 

I just 'bought' a bottle. So I own one, no rent. Then just pay for the gas when I swap it over.

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
