What's the purpose of the equal length? The last few I made have been twin 3 into 4 inch stainless, but there is hardly any room left to muck around with equal length pipes... It will just mean more bends and more restriction.

The idea is to get the gasses out as fast as possible, with the least restriction through the straightest and largest pipes that fit.

Isn't equal length meant to help make exhaust gasses exit smoother rather than colliding at the Y piece?

Also, it's for that Mines sound :-)

My Fujitsubo equal length front pipe sounds amazing, and helped with response down low, but has the worst ground clearance....

yep better merge/flow and sound

The only thing they do is change the sound,

what happens after the turbo doesn't matter, just make it as big as possible to get the gas out a easily as possible

yes but if there is a Y section in your system which merges why would you want any exhaust gases to clash at any time in that merge?

wouldn't you separate them if you had the choice?

Exhaust gases come out of the exhaust in pulses.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
