Not anytime soon, just had a service and I have a few things that need looking after before any upgrades, im happy with where the power is atm, just want to free it up a bit I guess..Well after a bit of mucking around I got the bits and pieces together and fitted my crossover replacement pipe.. Looks good I reckon, anythings better than the std crossover imo.. Took it for a spin, and POP! off goes the tb joiner, reconnect it with a new clamp and shes all sweet.. Still not keen to go past ~3000rpm, the guage is reading about 7-8 psi, and it gets there real quick. Im thinking a re-tune is in order but I'll have to see after the dyno..

I bought a new pump just in case and that Gates submersible fuel hose... So hopefuly it'll get sorted soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the drag caused on the edges is surprisingly high, maybe try get a nice bit of pipe like the crossover stuff to go in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon there would be some drag but from going from the stock setup to this has made a world off difference and I'm happy how it currently performs, but yea I'd imagine there would be gains with a 'normal' pipe.. It's a pretty hardcore bit of pipe, pretty thick like the factory rubber hoses, and had metal ribs in each corrigation to keep it from flexing, so it's fairly strong.. There isn't anything aftermarket to suit what I'm trying to do, so for the meantime it'll have to do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
