This is from another forum, going from a 2.5" exhaust to a 3" exhaust. There was a little more boost added and the downpipe type was changed from a 2.5 split straight tube downpipe (this is for a gasser) to a 3" split bellmouth downpipe.
Quite an improvement! We cannot see how much was due to the exhaust diameter alone and not to the amount of gain is definitely more than just due to higher boost.
I saw that too. I think that they said it was also tuned. So for 70-100 ft lbs and hp gained, lets say, 50-70% of that was due to tuning and the ability to raise boost due to better exhaust. So about 30-50 hp and torque was due to the exhaust. This is all a guess, of course, since there is no apples-apples comparison.
for a 300zx twin turbo...upgraded fuel system, and upgraded turbos and supporting mods. It's a 3.0L gasser. This person had the car fine tuned and switched from a 2.5to a 3" exhuast so it's not an apples-apples comparo.
Yeah, just looking at it you can tell it's not a diesel. The powerband and the rpm range....I don't think there are any passenger car diesels that spin to 6600rpm His point was the exhaust upgrade.
I totally agree with you about the larger exhaust almost always being better on turbo cars, but again, this example is somewhat lessened due to the lack of an apples-apples.
Hi I recently bought this vehicle and I’ve realised the both of the heated seats don’t work. I’ve checked the fuse in 37 and it’s fine. If anyone could help Thankyou in advance
I've posted a few links to fuse & relay diagrams on here if you search. I've used ElsaWin 4.10 for a few years. I have the latest databases, Audi 02/2016, Seat 01/2015, Skoda 03/2012, VW 01/2017, VW Commercial Vehicles 01/2017. I get asked in forum where can I find the fuse layout for my motor...
Hi, I have a 2004 T5 1.9 tdi. I've been scouring the internet for information on the exhaust leak I have. I can see that this site is more US based, and there are no transporters. However, the information here is the best I've found and I understand the 1.9 tdi is common across the range, so I...
Hi Guys,
I have an issue with lots of white smoke, i'm 100% this is Diesel smoke as it burns your eyes
I have a question, i'm sure the white smoke is being caused by over fulling and i have seen something that i dont think is correct, when i remove the glow plugs out of all cylinders, remove...
Basically I'll start from the beginning.
I won the car from a salvage auction and the car wouldn't run and start. The car fired up once and then died in 2 seconds. I assumed it was the battery at first but then I changed it and charged the current one and it did the same thing. The car was hit...
