I spoke to a muffler bloke this morning and he reckons 4" could stop the turbo spooling as early as it does now ??????

Just want it too run sweet , with no shit :woot:

Then find someone who knows what they are talking about.

Don't ever ask a muffler man for perfomance advise, especially that clown

The easier gases can get away from a turbo the faster they can get through a turbo making the turbo spool faster

You would think they would know something about exhaust if they are in the trade ?

So you would have to step it up from the back of the turbo to fit the 4" down pipe

Hate farking cars :)

All but one exhaust guy I have ever met has had no farking idea.

Their industry is full of old wives tales.

Go ask any exhaust bloke to make a set of headers, and once he is done ask him what rpm band they were built for and do they match the cam choice etc...

Yes, if you look closely mine has that done to it

Someone who knows what they are doing will be able to fabricate a dump pipe to cat setup for you easily.

But what that muffler guy said is absolute rubbish.

Joe just posted as I was typing, but yes you have to step it up if look back to his pictures he uploaded.

When is your car going back to crd pete?

They have a couple of weeks with some Motorsports commitments , so some time after that.

If I get a local bloke to do the 4" down pipe and the Cat, is there anything I should make sure they do, does the down pipe have to be coated ?

Would I be able to sell the down pipe, shit it is new :(

Unfortunatly that down pipe is just about useless pete.. Probably the only one I've seen where its stepped down straight away..

Maybe someone who needs a 3 inch dump could cut the start of the flange off but chances are slim that it would for someone else's set up :/

I coated mine to keep the heat out.. More $$ though

It looks like that but I wonder if it looks like that because it is right up on the bend and I think bends tend to take some size of tube, but ?

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
