Nanglebadger Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 had a chat with Jay and Joel today about your loss of power dude.Basically, n/a's more or less depend on back pressure for performance, so the general consensus of our brain storming is that u may have reduced the back pressure too much and have subsequently lost performance. Is it possible the pipes are too wide?? i know u removed the cat, what about a gutted one?? would that help??and on the exhaust side, is she straight through or does she have a centre box?? a centre box may help give a little more back as this happened on one of my dads cars.just some thoughts man. the only other thing i can think of, and this is because we found my car doin it, is that is there a blowout between the manifold and the block or she is 100% sealed up flush?Phil.

rob_bower Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hey dude must have missed this at some point lolyea this was a worry!! the exhaust still has a middle box and the pipe diameter is only 1.75" and the runner diameter of the header is the same diametera as the standard i cant see how a gutted cat would create more back pressure than a pipe of the same diameter!!I have been looking at trying the back box in but i dont think the ecu had learnt enought on the steady drive down to MM as the car is definatly quicker than it was before but i will give it a week or 2 then poss try the cat back in!!It does sound evil though!! lolanyways i got bored today so while i was down striping a few bits off the gt that ive sold o had a quick inspection of the cams all looks good clean and no scoring and i cleaned the gt fan up ready!!a few more bits on route too!

Nanglebadger Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 no worries man!that fan looks immense!!!!!!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Looks mega doesnt it!! got a few more bits like this lined up!! just lacking funds for the rebuild!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Did you reset the ecu and let it idle for a while after? whats best is disconnect the battery overnight, then turn the car on and let it idle for a while (10-15minutes, and make sure the weather is fairly average) and then restart it, it should relearn alot faster then. As you probably already know, ecus only learn a small bit at a time, to learn with the enviroment, dramatic changes it may just reset to base settings.Something to try anyway?

rob_bower Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 yea mate the ecu yas re-set at the time of fitting but i dont think a steady toot down the M1 will have given it much to learn! But since i.ve given it some stick it feels much better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yeh thats true haha, it must be back pressure, or the ecu hasnt/cant reset to what it needs to gain more power. if thats the case it needs properly setting up, then you should gain a fair bit with that!

Liam_D Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Rob, would you be up for going again sometime soon? Think me and Keirz are taking a trip up to do a couple of runs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Backpressure is nonsense and a commonly misused word. Have a read of this article:http://www.motorsport-developments.co.uk/t...FAF251.tech.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
