What Marc said or...

Here's a quick guide to exhaust sizes to your power out put, thanks to R31Nismoid on SAU here.

300 kW's = 3" exhaust

350 kW's = 3.5" exhaust

400 kW's = 4" exhaust

Your car will be fine with a 3" exhaust.

thats what i was thinking...but a guy told me you need back pressure for a stock turbo ?

people often try and use physics from NA cars on turbo cars, and it doesn't work.

and technically speaking, back pressure is a bad thing on any car. it is just an unwanted byproduct of having an exhaust the right size to maintain the scavenging effect on a NA car.

car is no where stock just the turbo is stock

And if the turbo is stock - there is no way you are making more than 200rwkw :)

turbo is the limiting factor, they don't make over that - end of story.

Apart from the noise a 4" gives, it won't hurt the car as such.

You don't need backpressure, it's a turbo. Whoever is giving such advice, make sure you don't take your car back there. If it's the same guy who's lying to you telling you that the car has 230rwkw, well that just backs the point even more :thumbsup:

BIGGER the better !!!

Turbo works by feeding exhaust gasses to turbo wheel / turning cold side wheel ..... any back pressure would only slow the gasses or wheel down ! .... AND WE DON`T WANT THAT DO WE ;)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
