Hey lad's a couple of tips for you the best angle to use is 14-15 degree's and to get a pulse firing order you do this by matching your firing order to the collector one next to the other around in a circle, and try to get the same lengths on each pipe it's hard but you will be rewarded with more ponie's. If your useing stainless use 321 grade as this is the best grade for withstanding the heat and it weld's up a treat good luck!!

It's to get more pressure if you have a random order they while affect the flow. It's kind of like a whirlpool and accelerates the gases out, hard to explain but that how we build all our collectors on our cars at work unless it's a tri y or cross over system but that another story again!

I ran into a mate last night that was telling me about jacketed pipes too so you can pump water around your pipes to keep temp down know thats some trick shit but dam costly and hard to make he tells me they run it on there race boats but i dont see any reason not to try it on cars. Only down side would be the extra weight but you could drop the pipes wall thickness down to compensate, just a few more things to think about

never heard of making the firing order go round in a circle but sounds quite interesting.... any physics behind this you can explain?

most boats run water around the exhaust to heat the water up for the motor, not to cool the exhaust

you want the heat in the exhaust gas to increase the gas velocity due to maximum expansion of the gas. same theory as HPC style coatings keeping the heat in, and helping spool times.

I'll ask him, these are on race boats so im not sure about keeping water temp up is required, nascar donks make a bit of heat but I'll check it out.

The only area were it was double pipe was the header pipes to the collector, yeah your right hpc coating mantain temp and reduce heat soak

boats pull in river water which is cold, unless you have a heat exchanger system they use the exhaust gas temps to heat the water so your not running cold water through a hot block - stops them cracking.

Makes perfect sense, although the boats ive seen them on are factory, and use a heat exchanger !?!

hmmm

do they still make water exit into the exhuast system? might be a newer design as the older boats i've worked on just had water entering the exhaust pipe after going through the motor and the waters shot out the exhaust pipe in the rear of the boat.

keep heat inside the exhaust manifold makes more power so i wouldnt recommend having water jackets in ur exhaust manifold

Hi guys, just on the water cooled exhaust on boats, I believe the primary reason for this is to run cooling around the exhaust initially to cool the gasses before exiting the boat at the rear through a fibreglass transom. Having fibreglass hulls the heat from exhaust piping has been known to melt holes through the transom. I work in the Navy and the RHIBs we have run a jacket water cooling system much like the coolant system on cars with a glycol based coolant/corrosion inhibitor. This jacket water is cooled in a heat exchanger by salt water and the salt water then shrouds the exhast system out through the transom exhast outlets. Adriano is correct in his statement about the muffling effect of the water shroud in the exhaust system although a lot of boats have underwater exhast outlets too, which muffles them just fine.

well i asked Kyle (6boost) and he does says you cant do them by hand, you need a mill with an indexing head at the least.... i still plan on attempting it in some way, dunno how you would get it into a bandsaw though Craved?

hey VB you can make them by hand but milled always comes out better

the one on the left is hand made and the right is milled

just use some dunny roll cardboard to pratice your angles

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
