gain performance through exhost?

easy mate, just make the piping as big as possible, 2.5" has been suggested cos its just too expensive to buy enough metal to make 5" piping. bigger piping = tons of air flying right through.

also sticking a whopping great big cannon will make your cars exhaust system be just as powerful as what the name suggests - A CANNON

your skyline will now fly

Why'd you have to correct yourself Jonno, would have been a mad troll to see a post in a few weeks showing a vid with this guys 5 inch piping on his NA.

i wasnt actually trolling, its for real, i just wanted to keep the 5" piping secret to myself so I can claim to have the fastest n/a around .. i discovered it by accident

just went on a dyno, my n/a skylinewith 5" piping made 300 rwkw ... imagine if I could afford 10" piping.

metals getting ridiculously expensive these days, especially mild steel or stainless steel for exhausts.

my secret was to melt all my mums cooking pots and pans, and just get a whopping great big PVC tube to use as the shape of the exhaust, and i just coated that in the melted steel with some baking paper underneath

when it hardened, just slid the metal tube right off (non stick baking paper!) , and there was my stainless steel exhaust system, took an empty milo can for a muffler

and hey presto, the car now breathes great and almost 300rwkw on the dyno

unfortunately now we dont have any pots or pans to cook with and we cant afford new ones with metal being so expensive

might remelt the exhaust system to make some cooking pots and just use the PVC tube as the exhaust?

baaahahahaha, if i could be bothered i'd sig that for the lulz

good idea mate, its always best to improvise, the gains you can get from being resourceful is amazing sometimes.

dont know how these aftermarket companies are still surviving when a $5 tin of milo which also gives u a very enjoyable drink gives you just as much performance as a $200 muffler - which is also basically a milo tin .. just shiny and with a brand name on it lol?

Just gets me so worked up when I see all these branded companies ripping off people who dont know any better, if I hadnt discovered this secret by accident I would have spent thousands on exhaust sytems and stuff

glad I could inform everyone else how to make a good exhaust system for cheap though!

perhaps they will stop asking about exhaust systems now that such an ideal one is available for almost nothing thumbsup.gif

Jonno, what's your verdict on say... Nescafe Blend 43 as apposed to the Milo? and do you reckon the extra 33% Blend 43 will give you 33% extra power gain, or is that just the big brand names using marketing gimmicks again? :D

Not too sure about power mate, but I think the leftover coffee aroma will be great in a muffler, the air coming from your exhaust will recirculate into the lucky guy behind you, who will get a pleasant coffee scent. imagine if we got the whole world doing this!

Coffee has a stronger smell than milo so I think you'll definitely see massive gains in aroma there, just not too sure if its worth the price difference .. is the tin about the same size as the milo one?

if you're after aroma you could probably just get home brand coffee. that extra 33% is probably more like 3% ... marketing gimicks i tell you

    • Turbo gods, some assistance and recommendations please I'm looking into a turbo kit for my 2.5 from MX5 Mania >>>>> https://mx5mania.com.au/products/copy-of-mx-5-nc-2-5-litre-engine-conversion-turbo-2005-2013 Power wise I would like about 200kw atw, and of course dose noises, apparently if you keep a stock 2.5 under around 200kwatw the engine will not hate life even when ragging on it a bit Max RPM on the 2.5 is around 6500rpm The turbo MX5 use is something around the disco potato size as  packaging room for the turbo is pretty limited, which will, I believe will give me my power goals and not have the turbo either under, or oversized, but the rear housing bit is confusing  It comes with either a 0.64 or 0.86 From my understanding, which so far is based off googling, so make of that what you will 0.64: spools faster = good Makes more EGT heat on boost = bad Less topend power than 0.86 = I'm only looking for 200 atw so that point may be mute????, I don't know, hence my questions  0.86: Spools a "little" slower = how much slower??? remembering 6500 is my max rpm Makes less EGT heat = good Makes a little more power up top = again, power goals is only around 200 Also, this is a street car, so there will not really be any long track sessions, in saying this I would want it so it was happy with at least 3 hot laps at Wakefield Park if the need arises  I already have a fancy pants triple pass radiator, and a oil cooler with thermostat will be getting installed as well Thanks for any information or recommendations you have 👍, and of course, the comments about me wasting money on drive in drive out modifications, or any other snide remarks about my manhood for owning a MX5 🤣    
    • Tape some wool onto the vent then take it for a drive I did this to my reverse cowl and was instantly unhappy, as anything over about 60kph would have the wool enter the engine bay, thus just adding underbonnet pressure and stooging my coolant stack, it did let alot of heat out when stationary though, which really didn't help once the car was moving, with the reverse cowl you could watch the coolant temps cheap up the faster you went on the hwy, I assume it would be alot worse doing track day speed With the vented bonnet (just after the radiator and about 1/3 up the bonnet) on my old R33 the wool on the leading edge sat at about a 45° angle as air poured out of it From looking where your vents are, and their size, I believe you should be fine at speed and air should be evacuated from the engine bay, I think it will be a night and day difference when stuck in traffic though for removing the trapped heat, and not sitting there cooking when parked up after driving around... #convection  Post wool tuft pics and data for science  This beastie is one nice and unique rig, enjoy
    • It is possible to do this stuff for "cheap". But you need to be able to get deals on all the bigger items, and it really helps if you're fully capable of doing your own work. As soon as you're paying retail for new parts, or buying "kits" because you can't fabricate necessary bits and pieces, and if you really need someone else to take the reins of doing the work because you don't have the space/time/skills/confidence to  rip deep into the car and put it back together in a working fashions.....then you pay. And these days, pay means a lot of money. You'd think things would get cheaper, but they don't. They just seem to keep getting more and more expensive.
    • It’s almost the price of an engine build, you won’t have anything to bolt onto it though 
    • Hopefully it's enough to help with the temps! I was also only shit stirring, regarding Murphy's Law basically. I've found, what ever spare parts I have, are the parts I don't break. Ever. Also have never had issues with oil/spinning bearings until I put oil pressure gauges on the car. 😛
