Sounds damn good to me :uh-huh:

Be careful, NA engines need backpresure. The biger the exhaust the less backpresure but the higher the flow. Backpresure does not aply to turbo motors due to the fact that althoug backpresure is lost it is no comparison the the amout of power gained due to the increase in overall flow of exhaust gasses alowing the turbo to operate much eayser. On an NA car the loss of backpresure is much more evident. I had a 2 1/2" exhaust on my 2ltr SSS pulsar (go the SR20DE ) *duck*, the take off was crap I would come close to stalling every take off unless I was launching. The revs up top were awsome though. the benifits of this exhaust did not come into effect untill I got to about 5 grand and above. Not to practical for street use. I was told that the optimal size for thiss motor was 2 1/8", 2 1/4" max other wise as I had witnessed the los in backpresure wound makt the motor impractible. The result was fitting the stock exhaust back on and I can tell u thats when the fun started. Much more zippyer. Unless I highly modified the motor (cams, increase compresion, chip, etc) I wold not gain any real benifit from the 2 1/2" exhaust. This does not mean you cant put a better exhaust on you NA car. Just be careful not to go to big at this stage. I recomend that you speek to a couple exhaust joints. Mufler Man in parhan know their stuff. The problem with the apexi exhausts and HKS exhausts is that they are designed for turbo cars where loss of backpresure is not too important. Happy hunting, Adam

I would think that every rev is doing you damage. Every engine is made to rev. My point, every time an engine runs it is wearing out. It is a simply case of friction. The faster an engine revs the hotter it runs the more friction that is created and the faster an engine will wear. You cant relly say that high revs are doing damage, thats what engines do, but it is wearing out quicker than if your didnt rev the engine hard. Highly modified engines are designed to rev higher, they are designed to opperate more eficently at higher revs, but still the longevity of the motor is sacrificed. Look at F1 engines. One race and they need to be rebuilt. Every rev is doing you dammage. Simply, a motor that reves low or is not under much strain is going to last longer than an engine that is reved hard, eg. 250cc generator motor compared to a 250cc motor bike. However, engines do need a good punt every now and then to circulate the oils and get rid of carbon and oil build up. In other word I dont relly know what the hell im talking about but it sound good. You decide Adam

Sounds like the car just has a high idle on cold start up, it like an automatic choke on modern cars. I know my 2000 pulsar has the idle set at about 2500rpm when its cold. Its kinda cool I can get down the end of my street with out even having to touch a throtle and its not crawling either its doing like 60 in 5th at 2500rpm its sweet (small things amuse small minde) . So I dont think you need to worry. It may also be that it has a overly high base idle setting on startup due to the fact of being a new car running in. Im sure if this is the case it will be adjusted on its next service.

Went to bursons today to get plugs for an RB20DET and it wasent listed in the NGK catolog. What plugs do I ask for. Ive heard NGK BCPR7ES is this right Thanks, Adam
