ok so i got my car retuned on saturday with the new metalcat in place of the xforce ceramic cat. i dont have dyno graphs as the printer wasnt working, but before my car made about 195-199 kws, with the new metalcat it now makes about 205 or so. On the graphs there wasnt really any difference in pulling power through the mid range, but more top end.

so i suppose ive gained around 5-10kws for an extra 200 bucks. I would be very interested to see what kind of flow the xforce racing cats make, they seem to look ok??

Not wrong.

I put a 3" supposedly "high flow" Xforce cat in to go over the pits and it was crap. Loss of power and response, felt like crap to drive, took it out as soon as I got home.

I was trying to push 3L worth of exhaust gasses through it though.

Which cat are you running? a "High flow"? or a "Race" cat?

And if you went from a stock exhaust to a full Xforce exhaust then yes, it is going to feel a lot better but you have nothing but a stock exhaust to compare it to.

I am running high flow not race. The high flow cat flows pretty much the same as a 5inch metal cat (give or take 5kw @ 200kw power range)

So afaik they are great quality and great value for money. Not sure what was wrong with yours? 3L maybe too much.

      He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...

      It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.

      Whilst putting a V8 in a MX5 would be fun, it would negate the whole cheap to run fun daily that the MX5 will be used for If I wanted a faster little convertible I would have got a engine check light, I mean a BMW Z4 M, but going off the issues that the guy at work who recently got one is having, it is lucky I didn't  Meh, horses for courses, the Bogan Cruise Ship is my go to for some horse torques

      I reckon give him a few months, LSX swap would be good
