the exhaust size comment is not my oppinion as i have no knowledge of that kind of stuff. i trust the oppinion of what he said and maybe i heard him wrong or misunderstood. but there is some logic somewhere in there... maybe

i think the point he was tyring to make is that for engines to have the best breathability (if that is a word) is to have a larger exhaust than what is expected. this is coming from a final year mechanical engineer who has actual built a rocket engine so he must know something.

aybee, didn't mean to jump down your throat, but i think this guy is a little confused. I know inasnt is an engineer, and i'm a qualified mechanical engineer, but i don't think many cars would benefit greatly from the increased flow to 5"

yes i am qualified!

Besides a 5inch exhaust would rub the ground on a skyline. If u want no restriction then just run off the dump pipe.

And in reality uni students dont know nuttin much, its all theory at uni, nuttin practical!

I learned more in 6 months of work than i did in 5 years of uni.

hey relax inasnt, didn't mean you weren't qualified :)

i think you should set up a side pipe, just behind the passenger door. I'm pretty sure it is legal, as long as it exits behind the rear most doors. Thus, you can scare pedestrians with sound and flames. Just cut a hole in the side skirt - CSV had their version of the monaro with side pipes.

    • This isn't for lotsa powers, and time and effort isn't even a thing I'm concerned about The whole reason is "Just because fun", and "Just because fun" is what I do And whilst there are other kits, with better and more modern turbos (Rev9 use the same Kraken manifold I believe.....EDIT... nope, the Kraken is a cast jobbie, the REv9 uses welded up stainless, plus $8000 AUD before shipping, installation and tuning) Where else in Sydney can I do a drive in drive out with the after sales support that MX5 Mania give My Turbo 86 made around 200kwatw on a AVO turbo kit that Pulse fitted, and it was over 100kg heavier than the MX5, but it was a blast to drive around the streets, until I crashed it.....DOOH, so somewhere around 200 ish level and some whooshy noises and I'll be happy driving to work, the shops, or heading into the country with Jackie for Devonshire tea So, thanks Dose for your info, it sounds like a 0.64 will be fine for what I'm after👍 The only real racing I do nowadays is to the toilet

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
