angled below horizontal??

surley the sensor dosent know if its upside down or not?... could you please explain to me how it is that they dont work like that?

Actually, the 02 sensor obtains condensation during initial start up,cold start, and if operated at an angle below horizontal then the sensor can fail quite quickly...

This is pretty common knowledge...the heater element also is liable to fail...

The exhaust system does not give your engine it's backpressure.

The turbo does. By changing the exhaust system you allow the turbo to extract gasses more freely which means that turbo response INCREASES. Boost will come on sharper and you will be less likely to spike or overboost.

The smaller the exhaust system, the less boost you are able to run.

I know the above to be fact, however, I will say this:

I don't personally have dyno proof of when the power change is in a 3 inch system but I can assure you that it definately won't make it laggier. It will only remain the same or increase response.

Sorry, mate. I know this is a bit late since your post, but your opening statements are basically wrong, although right in some respects. The whole of the exhaust system from the exhaust valves to the exhaust tip contribute to "backpressure". This is simply the resistance to flow that the exhaust gases experience before they exit at the exhaust tip, in other words the pressure drop through the system. This means that there is a base pressure that has to be made in the cylinder to enable flow to occur. That pressure is effectively the "backpressure". Naturally, the reciprocating motor overcomes this backpressure and then some.

The greatest contributor to the overall pressure drop is more than likely to be the exhaust wheel in the turbo, but every bit of pipe, every bend and every restriction plus the valve and ports in the cylinder head contribute to that pressure drop.

To say that the turbo "extracts" the gases is just plain wrong. The turbo would only extract gases if it was driven by something else. But the exhaust gases drive the turbo. Reducing the pressure drop downstream of the turbo exhaust wheel enables a higher gas flowrate and increases the relative pressure drop across the exhaust wheel, thus increasing the driving force to the exhaust wheel.

Your conclusion about responsiveness, etc., is correct - but you got there by the wrong route.

Or do you understand all this and you just didn't express it very well? Sorry to go on, but there are a lot of incorrect ideas mixed up with fact in explaining how a turbo works on the forums. We need to get it right. So if anyone can add to what I have said, I would welcome their input.

Cheers.

Thats spot on... I like to think of it being similiar to airflow through a radiator.

High pressure one side, low pressure in the engine bay will see good airflow through the radiator.

Higher the pressure in the engine bay the less airflow through the radiator.

Which I think is 'similiar' to what happens inside a turbo, lots of back pressure inside the scroll trying to escape out past the turbine wheel, place a low pressure area after the turbo's turbine wheel and you will most definitely have improved flow over having both sides with high pressure. :O

The gas will move faster as a result spool/response/power will improve.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
