datzenmike Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 I did have a '68 510 but don't remember if it was that car or not, but the trim ran in a trough in the rubber. When removed the rubber was floppy and barely supported the glass in place. It was a long long time ago, 40 something years ago. 21 is great weather for working out doors!!! Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted December 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 oh it was perfect out for a few days.... but soon as I was ready to shoot some more paint it actually turns into December 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Still just working on little stuff here and there.... unfortunately the dyno time I was supposed to have here soon is set back because the tuner tore his ACL Did build some exhaust for it though, the stuff the PO had on there was lazy and hung way low and drug just in my driveway. Got some 2.5in mandrel bent tucked up pretty nicely. Nice to have some ground clearance lol 6 Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 What made you go with 2.5 instead of a 3"? Quote Link to comment

Downpipe is already 2.5 Also at the power levels I'm making the actual difference between 2.5 and 3 is incredibly negligible, you wouldn't notice the difference at all, and 3in takes up more space in an already challenging area to tuck exhaust. Id wager its like a ~15hp difference tops... which I could more than make up for with a touch more boost, a cleaner tune... or even timing changes. Quote Link to comment

FWIW, on mine switching from 2.25" to 3" was good for 27hp, and 18tq, running 16psi. With less boost, I doubt the gains would be worthwhile. And it was so damn loud I probably wouldn't do it again if I had the chance. 2.5" would have been better (for me). I was eventually running two mufflers and it was still too loud.

Lockleaf Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I've too little experience with exhaust to know for sure, but I've been told that thicker pipe on exhaust can help quite a bit with volume, but I've also read that larger pipe is always louder than equivalent smaller diameter, no matter what.

Im going to run prob 9-12lbs and yes noise lol Its got volume but Im deff not in need of an obnoxiously loud car. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Been stagnate on tuning since my wideband took a shit. Prob just the sensor but it came with an AEM set up when I got it, no idea how old it is ect so I just got a new LC2 set up for it. I can get back to work now.... I also did some good ol fashion hood art.... but Im waiting to get some clear shot on it before I post it lol 2 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Got some clear on the hood, get it mounted up tomorrow finally. got the new wideband in and calibrated. but still have some tuning work to do... did some logs, it hits boost and is just dropping the injector pulse width. not sure what thats about yet. 8 2 Quote Link to comment
