Just dyno ed an engine with all the right bits and manifold killed the power you need a tubular on a 1.6 to see 300

 

A few people on here have proved that theory wrong....

 

i have seen an rs turbo do over 300 on standard manifolds..

you sure your engine is "all the right bits"?

 

my m8s got over 330 on the dyno on std one

 

It is possible. Holding onto that sort of power as the revs raise is a problem though, amoungst others.

 

mine made 330 bhp on a standard manifold, wats your engine spec who built it/ mapped it

 

Tom scarletts series one was 319 bhp on a standard manifold as well so a tubular manifold is not needed just helps

 

As above. I know a couple of genuine 300bhp RST's running the standard exhaust manifold. Come the end of 2007 with anyluck mine will be joining those ranks

 

Mine has no problem with the standard manifold and a 2.5 inch exhaust.
340+BHP at 25psi.
S.

 

Mine is 301.9BHP with standard manifold.

 

the exhaust must be a massive restriction on your car mate...

 

Not really.

 

whats your spec then rude bouy

 

really!!!!

 

its not the manifold

whats the full spec of the engine ? who's told you there all the right bits to get the power ? alot of the power comes from porting the head on a cvh and its not a easy head to get right for high flow

 

 

measure the exh temp on a 2.5 exhaust then say its not restrictive

 

i think Mr C will have some kind words to add to this thread

 

No, I saved all my kind words for this thread......
