^^^ true, but the Ve was already swapped and I wanted to be different. There isn't a GTIR around here that will come close to this one. Hell, no De will come close unless it has more weight reducti...
I have used several sets of ACL and I have no problems. It may not be tight to the .0001" but who cares. Having more clearance will help (to an extent) with oil film and protection. Tight tolerance...
^^^ this is the reason for the twin scroll setup. Transient response. Though the boost onset will be very similar, the response to throttle input is drastically improved with twin scroll. I would l...
Yes, sch 40 is thick, but will never crack. I have thought about using sch 10 but I would have to use a very good stainless to get the strength I want. Maybe 321? 304 would work, but it would need ...
^^^ true, but it only works on NA setups. It is all about pulse tuning on NA. Each exhaust pulse has a frequency for resonance based on rpm and pipe diameter. When that frequency is hit, the VE is ...
I was thinking of making the manifold from sch 40 mild steel, then having it coated. I could go stainless, but this thickness of mild steel should never crack. I am not one to go cheap on the manif...
Uh, no. Either way you are screwed haha. Just kidding, I actually ran my car with no limiter when I was NA. Never had a problem, but you have to watch out for wheel spin. I would just buy a digital...
That is an interesting manifold man. haha. It looks like it goes to an evo or something that is twin scroll from the factory. Designed for internal wg? The one thing you have to watch out for is th...
An automatic trans is a different animal. You can only get "engine braking" while in 4th gear (in a 4 speed), or if you manually select one of the low options. The auto transmission is designed wit...
Well, it depends on what the "big boys" have. Full-out race cars are not my forte. There are plenty of street-driven hondas around here that run low 10s. This is 4500ft elevation, mind you. Isn't t...
Here is their test from a log manifold to their prostreet (ramhorn) style manifold. Over 60whp on 13psi of boost on about the same size turbo I am running.
Here is a single wastegate setup, but I really don't like how the bends seem to be, not sorted out. Full-race is great, don't get me wrong, but fluid dynamics shows that each bend acts like adding ...
Yes, open downpipe. 3" outlet on the turbo, with a 3" downpipe. Wastegate was still recirculated. I would imagine a divorced wastegate would make even more power.
With no exhaust I made more bottom end power, a lot more. Look at the graph. I made more power throughout the powerband. The turbo spools incredibly faster with no exhaust hooked up.
