well im on a roll today so ...
when i look down the side of the engine to where the exhaust comes out - it comes out in TWO seperate pipes
is this a standard thing - cause when i look at the haynes manual it shows as an exhaust block attached to the engine
thanks
stu
Stu,
Turbo engines will have one pipe out the back of the turbo.
Non-turbo may have the two pipes, depending on whether or not the exhuast is standard.
Is yours the non-turbo model? (no bonnet scoop).
mine is a Non Turbo and it has 2 large exhaust pipe coming out of the engine - i was wondering if this is correct !
( not sure if it has an aftermarket exhaust but i have a reciept for a Jan Speed exhaust )
Yep - sounds like an aftermarket exhaust (nice!) the factory exhaust runs what they call a "Thermal Reactor" , or "Heat Exchanger" big round cast iron thing (looks completely different to what you have, and what is used on the turbo cars).
cooooooooooooooooool !
will this give me any performance difference with that and the K&N panel filter ???
Yes - it would be better than standard for sure. I would only run Shell Optimax in it though (to make sure it is always running rich).
funny that you should mention that the car runs very rich ( you can smell the petrol )
i was gonna try and adjust the mixture/timing - maybe i should judst leave it ??
thanks
stu
u can`t adjust mixture if u don`t have any piggyback or standalone ECU....
2 pipes from motor = header....on non turbo its way to get most power .....
do you know how much more power ??
or am i best getting it on a rolling road !
A good exhaust on a non-turbo rotary can give you up to 25hp extra. So it would definitely be better than standard. The best way would be on a dyno yes.
