I think you don't understand what I am trying to say, I suggest you do some googling.

I dont need to google anything. I am the one here that made record numbers on -5 turbos. I specifically asked YOU what is the restriction? What is the back pressure ratio on -5's? What is the back pressure ratio change when externally gated? What specifically is the advantage to externally gating these turbos on this engine?

Your motor will breathe, externally gate anything before the collector and you'll make more power.

It's not rocket science.

And congrats on your epic record achievements because it's a US dyno. I'm sure my corolla would make as much power as your setup too if it were on some inflated US dyno :)

Also, calm your farm.

congrats you managed to make 800 field mice power with -5s on an American dyno

That is assuming that anything after the collector is in fact a restriction... You have no data showing that it is or that an externally gated setup will benefit this specific application.

I would also like to point out that everyone seams to be laying the burden of proof on me. Has anyone here specifically dyno'd on a dynojet to say that it reads high?

And still hasnt seen the strip....

Car will see the strip. Just got the clutch sorted out. Now working on a tire rub issue.

If you love playing statistics wars, I heard the stock market is a fabulous place for that :)

What do statistics have to do with definitive measured data?

FYI - you still have not answered my question.

hint: its because you dont have the information to answer said question.

It is well known that dynojet number's are ALOT higher than dyno dynamics or mainline dynos here in Oz.

Run it up on a mustang dyno that will give us a far closer number.

Im sorry but on a stock head and stock cooler etc that your car has that power simply isn't possible!

Dynojets are around 15% higher than our dynos on average.

Don't need any data, proof is in the pudding.. piggaz's turbos were over worked, glowed probably redder than the sun, boost bled down up top.

I don't need to work for NASA to tell you that the housings are too small.

Anyhow, a couple of Nissan SR20s would pull a premium one week before race wars

Look, I was letting this thread sit till we ran the car at the track except I keep getting multiple emails a day with you jack holes cluttering up the tread. I am not stating anything until I run at the track.

So we are looking for high 130mph?

no, need at least 140mph.. Maatouks can do it with less powererererer.

Ok, so the turbos glowed and the boost dropped off...

Turbos glowing - excessive egt.... why?

Boost falls off - Compressor cant keep up (out of flow). Not related to exhaust housing restriction. If anything boost would remain at targeted level because the gases cant escape the engine quickly enough.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
