soobme Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 When I got my '85 turbo 7mo ago, I did not know that the cats wer starting to close up on it. But as time went on it became clear that somthing was very wrong. So today I made a new down pipe with only a glass pack muff on it, I used a 2" mandrell U bend and cut and welded it to shape.WOW!!!!!!!! I MEAN WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This car will burn them off (all 4 that is) on the 2nd to 3rd shift!!!!! I was thinking of swaping out the EA82T for an EA81.NOT ANY MORE! :banana: :burnout: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setright Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 All four?? Holy smokes, torque me up baby !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobme Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 The car wouldn't rev past 5000RPM before, and would never boost past 6psi. I am now making 11psi @ 5800RPM. Dam this thing it FAST! I had know idea just how much the cats wer killing it. I think I will turn it down to 9 or 10psi and call it good till I get the by-pass valve in:clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Can you make more of those downpipes? My roomies turbo could use one. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Andrew needs one for his 87 turbowagon. He was going to go down to a muffler shop and have them make one for his "rally car" but if he can get one for a bit cheaper, I know he'll do it!

WJM Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Yeah...how much is one of those DP's running now? I was thinking 3 inch...or 2.5 at least, with a separator and separate pipe for the wastegate, and join it downstream at the bend maybe...if I were to make one.

archemitis Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 wastegate should stick out of the hood! or at least a fender but thats only good with a boost controller. otherwise its loud all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobme Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 I could make another one, but U would have to use your'e old turbo flange and weld the new down pipe onto that. Would cost around $35 to make another one. I put a new boost gauge on and my by-pass valve. Iv'e got the boost set @ 11psi. When I take off I let the cluch out @ around 1100RPM's, let it roll up to about 2700RPM's and then floor it:burnout: . It starts to burn the tires off @ 10psi and by 11psi its so light and out of controll in the front I have to back out of it:clap: I have not had a car that was this much fun to drive since my last 230HP turbo'ed Baja!
