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.

    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
