I'm having a full turbo back exhaust fitted on Wednesday and it sparked some curiosity in me about different engines and they're responsiveness to mods.

What kind of power gains did people get from a full exhaust system as far as kw and torque goes???

I'm rather interested in Torque more than kw

Cheers :D

i got an extra 10rwkw gained from fitting a 3" front pipe and hi flow cat, torque was substantially improved through the mid range and it really came on boost alot quicker and harder...it was a very easy way to gain some power and torque...

btw, thats with the rb25det in the 33

cheers...ben.

when i put my full exhaust (custom) on my 33 it immediately felt as if there was a great deal more off boost torque due to better way better flow and when boost came on it was harder and faster allowing for very nice acceleration.

Sorry cant get you any before and after actual dyno results concering the exhaust change

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
