what is the tuned length of the headers for a ea82t?

 

i've come to the conclusion that im going to have to make a new set of headers when i swap the ea82t into the brumby but i wanna take them under the engine crossmember(a' la N/A style) (so i don't have to cut a channel in the crossmember for the header to pass through), then take it up to the 'hair dryer'.

 

i haven't measured whether there is enough room for the up and down pipes yet but the less i can get away with modd'ing the chasses and crossmembers, the happier the guy im getting to certify the engine swap will be.

 

as i'll be making the header i thought having a bash at a tuned length sounded like a good idea

 

anyone with TWE headers care to give some lengths and diameters?

i made NA tuned pipes, equal lenght, they improve lower end power and it seems to run much better

 

i worked it out so that the volume of each pipe between head and Y collector equaled the cylinder volume that feeds the pipe

1.8lt motor, 2 cyls per head, > 0.9lt per pipe @ 1& 3/4" pipe = 28" or thereabouts per pipe

I think that having the pulses consistent rather than tuned scavanging is more important to the turbo because of the steady air flow

 

I may be wrong but that is my opinion:drunk:

you'd have to make completely different lengths as compared to the TWE's in order to run them where you are going to run them.

you'd have to make completely different lengths as compared to the TWE's in order to run them where you are going to run them.

 

hmmmm if i made them the same length as TWE's to where they join it would be a good start tho' wouldn't it?
