Yes and no. It is possible to do two pipes to a single wastegate properly. There was a thread showing that on here recently. I would also be possible to do it wrongly. You need to keep both halves of the system isolated from each other when the gate is closed. If the two pipes from the two halves are open to each other before the gate, then the pressure pulses will leak and ruin the effect, thus making it pointless. That particular example off a twin scroll housing (above) doesn't look like it would be internally divided in the pipe running to the wastegate. I therefore suspect that it is not a good implementation. Obviously it will still work and make lots of power.....but what about the spool behaviour, etc etc?

I vote new MCAs and sell the steel bars to a kid who doesn't know any better.

Surely that setup somewhat defeats the purpose of twin scroll. The pulses are not so isolated from each other when they're directly joined!

Buggered bearings are not real hard to feel.

Vacuum leak still there.

A lot of that list is in the short block.

My bro-in-law had a Peugot 504 where the head was about 20% Devcon. It's amazing what you can do with this stuff.

Simple rule is always simple. Turbo motors make power using boost, not timing.

Nah, return every time. Feed is under pressure. No point in risking more spots where you can have a sudden escape of fuel. And it's not that the pump heats it all the way up on the first pass through. It's the repeated pass throughs that are the problem. Hence taking the heat off on the way back to the tank is good enough.

In which case, I wonder how it is that you thought my explanation was a bad one. It is effectively identical to yours. Measure torque while dissipating the power in a brake. How hard do you need it to sound? Who are you trying to impress?

You're funny. Read what I wrote, that you quoted, then read what you wrote in reply. There is no difference, except that I got there first. Like being an engineer. Are you eligible to be a CPEng without having to do all the paperwork? /real engineering + English comprehension

Actually, that makes it worse. Bigger pumps push the fuel around through the rail more often (picking up more engine bay heat) and they beat the crap out of the fuel in the pump itself. A proper voltage control system is the best way to make the best use of bigger pumps. If it were me, I would be putting it towards the rear of the car. In front of the rear axle, opposite side to the exhaust. About where the HICAS solenoid would be on an R32 if it was still there. But even further tucked up. Track GTRs used to run diff coolers there.

No. Springs and dampers are the first thing.

The real problem is that roller dynos are easier to get cars on and off quickly, but there is substantial slip at the tyre-roller interface, with accompanying power "loss" and it varies enormously according to a large number of parameters that not everyone can or will control the same way.

24mm adj front & rear will quite probably lead to the car being oversteer biased. I have mine set hardest front, softest rear, with otherwise well matched springs, and it is definitely lively at the rear end. 24mm adj front and 22mm fixed rear would be a safer setup. Not trying to dissuade you from going 24mm adj both ends....just warning you how it comes out in practice. The bars are pretty firm, but not as "firm" as the typical 8&6 kg springs you get on Teins. So you won't even really notice the influence of the bars on roll stiffness as much as I do. My front springs are only in the 5.x kg range.

The M stands for Murray. The C stands for Coote. Famous name. 5s google for MCA and suspension would have found you their website and about 10000 recent threads on here bigging them up. In fact you wouldn't even have to finish typing it into google!

2 sorts. One has a LOAD CELL. The other is an inertial type. The type with a load cell does not "bear" any load. it simply has a means to measure the torque (with the load cell) while dissipating the power in a brake. The inertial type work by spinning up a heavy mass and calculating the power put in by the time taken to spin it up (hence, inertial type). /rocket surgery.

How about none of those things?

There's the beauty of the scoop. It can also be a pretty effective shield.

Wow. I feel like quoting myself from your other thread! Bad luck man. Contact someone like MCA and see what they say about modding the tops to have rubbers. I would definitely be looking for a 2nd opinion on both that aspect and the question on whether the noise is originating at the tops or in the damper itself.

Yeah, the Consult plug is a common serial bus for all CUs in the car. The PowerFC will just be a dead hole where the ECU used to be.

And the baffles in a GTR's catch can are different to the ones you would use in a catch can on a Renault 19 how exactly?
