read my post prodicklicker!! fourtireasssmoker if he owns a semi or a 1500 ftlbs diesel truck then it makes sense. Sorry for knowing alot and not owning a SWEET ass mustang. atleast you guys have eachother! Brokeback clearly gave you two the confidence to step out of the walk in closet! anyways Im done, im grumpy this morning and take offence to any moron trying to cut me down.

Wow really I thought you were full of sun shine with a skip in your step this morning?

------------ On Topic
finally attached the guages(sp?) in the Del Sol semi permantely so they don't fall down anymore....yay!

ya man i read it, you said he doesnt need a 5" downpipe unless hes making 1500 hp. pretty clear to me. obviously u dont know who 13bt is or what he has, was a pretty uneducated statement, not surprised coming from you.

edit- did some wiring today

modded insurance onto the new car.

oh tommy and dudley stop talking about size your making me feel inaddaquit(fuck the spelling) with my 2.5 incher;) oh well thank god i'm building a bracket combo don't have to worry about all that just hoping to go out have fun and go rounds and maybe a championship hopefully that is if there's enough people that will run the sportcompact class if not fuck it i'll just run pro:)


geno

actually he was right... bigger diameter doesn't equal more flow unless you have the air to fill it. When you see a diesel running a monster 5" exhaust you also have to remember he is likely running 70-100 psi on top of the super high compression the diesel already has, and making more than 1000 lbs/ft of torque.

going from 3" to 5" is a much bigger step than you would think...

Just did the calcs. Area of a circle = Pi x Radius^2

So....

3" pipe section area = 3.14 x 1.5"^2 = 7.065 sq inches

Then we move on to the 5" pipe which is only 2/3 bigger right?

5" pipe section area = 3.14 x 2.5"^2 - 19.625 sq inches

Well that was "exhausting". Ima go back to work now. ;)

Shawn, you sure are a smart guy! seriously though.

At 60 lbs boost, 17.1 compression and ONE turbo larger than all the turbos in the okanagan sector put together.. Big trucks still are'nt looking for more flow yet with 5" downpipes. And some of our trucks produce 600+hp and 2000+ ft lb's of torque 100% stock!

Refaced M5 flywheel going back in along with a new clutch pressure plate, release bearing pilot bearing and rear main seal!
yay!

Mod of the day: Installed new sun visors as mines were all stained with some white crap. lmao

btw, I forgot to mention my DP/ehaust is 3" OD, so 2-7/8 ID :eek2:

well i havnt posted any mods for awhile so in the past little while i have tinted all windows , got logans (bmxkelowna) old 17" wheels and tires,
brand new spark plugs and wires today,
strut bar painted pink,
intake on its way ,
and exhust once i get my income tax return

:O Whhhaaaaaa

I knew diesels loved high compression but wow I never thought they ran that high nor that high of boost!

Orderd
MSD Sport Compact Ignition
Taylor 10.4mm wires
Autometer Oil Pressure guage
Wings West W-Type Side Skirts (very soon)

nosyt, the rims looks great! :)

Nice duct tape job on the intake :p

Got a set of Nexen2000's but now the alignment is mad out!

thanks yeah they really make that car look sharp and yeah i have an intake on its way its either duct tape or massive leaking for the time being

Car looks awesome. Loving the pink strut brace.

You need to give your engine bay a degreasing!

would it make you feel better if i did 4 '' then.

haha don't bother me none. I was just making a point because they were jumping down whitetalon's throat for his comment. When you do the math it puts it all in perspective. 5" pipe will kill your exhaust velocity.

Goodbye AFM. Hello more stainless intake pipe, (gotta love finding scrap stainless around the garage)

Heres the before: *lost the rubber elbow for my intake so I had to ghetto fab something up with masking tape to start the car up again after being in pieces all winter*

And the after:

thanks for the support slo40. just wondering why you decided to run the intake all the way to the other side? less piping and weight would be better in all aspects.

velocity stack maybe? dont turbos like the air to be brought in with a fair bit of speed?

they do when there is actually a turbo on the car... ;)

'Doh


and to keep this on topic, just found out i need more last minute SC stuff than i thought! damn boost is confusing shit

Silly Jeff, where would you have been without me. hehe

umm driving a stock blue 90 integra?

went to pick and pull and got a couple different map sensors and i also picked up some obd1 injector clips

the turbo is creating a vaccum on the intake compressor side and tube length isnt help anything. Most 1/4mile hardcore turbo guys go without an intake filter but not recomended for street cars.
