hi-flow cat


Recommended Posts

Guest GR33DyMANGO

hi,

i just received a phone call from the guy doing the compliance on my car and he said i had the option of upgrading my catayltic converter from the standard 2.5inch one to a high-flow one for an extra $250.

whats the deal? would i get any performance gains with the high-flow cat? i'll get a new exhaust from the cat back soon after.

so does this high-flow cat make any difference or is it just a waste of money?

ta,

justin.

If you have any plans of improving your exhaust system - which most people do - then you should think about the cat. Having said that, $250 is what I paid for mine when I had the rest done so maybe see if he is open to offers and save a few quid, might be worth a try. If he is fitting a high flow instead of the standard, he would be saving on the price of the standard so you may as well save some extra too:)

For two fitty I would say it isn't a true high flow cat. Maybe a "higher" flow cat. Usually it simple has larger flanges on the end.

Still it isn't a bad price, and usually worth getting just realise that it isn't a high flow or racing cat. I would try to get the price down.

If you are doing basic mods for now it will be more than enough, if you are going to go pretty serious with it, it might be better off saving for a proper cat/ full systen at a later stage.

Cheers,

Tim

I had a catback3 inch exhaust system with my car from Japan.

Earlier this week I got the front and dump pipes fitted with a high flow cat.

There has been a substantial power increase from my seat of the pants impression and the workshop said the difference is about 15hp (at wheels or engine dunno)

It sounds a whole lot better too:D

Can hear the turbo whistling now

Hi GR33DyMANGO,

I assumed you're going through Dany Fisher for your compliance work and your Skyline is the silver one that came off the boat on the 12/11/2002 ?? Anyway, I'm going ahead with the upgrade to the high-flow cat ..

Well I was thinking, considering that I've just bought a car that's not exactly friendly to the environment, might as well spend an extra $250 to do my bit to help reduce emission .. :burnout:

Bye

Justin,

It took about 3 weeks all up (but I got Danny to go slow as our first baby arrived at the same) so was busy with him.

I too got the hi-flow cat to go with the exhaust system.

Car was clean coz I got it detailed cost about $200 or so and they did a great job - it didn't look like that when I saw it at the wharf that's for sure.

Once he gets going compliancing only took just over a week but then there is the alarm system, servicing and the licencing which took two days. Did you know Danny is going to offer servicing and maintenance on the cars he complies - we were talking about it when I picked mine up.

One thing to look for are the mods that you don't get told about like mine had a Pivot Quickshift, Blitz BOV, turbo timer none of which were on the auction sheet.

Once jnr gets settled will definately go on a cruise or two or three.

Cheeres, Al

hi al:)

whoa... $200 for a car detail. i wish i could afford that. alot of elbow grease is what im going to use. i cant wait to give it a nice clean.

i didnt know about the servicing and maintainance that danny offers. i'll probably just do most of the servicing myself. one of my uncles is a mechanic... so i should be ok there.

mine has a turbo timer, a kenwood rear speakers, kenwood splits and a different shifter which i didnt know about. it was almost like a little xmas gift:D

pm me when u r able to go for a cruise:)

ciao

My car had some good detailing done to it with its previous owner. All i do now is spend about 1hr/wk washing it inside and out and it makes the whole job so much easier.

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
