    • @DjDolHaus86
      @DjDolHaus86 Год назад

      Pressure and flow are directly related. You can work it out by doing all sorts of complicated maths and flow modelling but you can also just make a good guess at what's causing the issue and then stick a different shaped bit of pipe on the end and see if it makes the difference you were expecting to see.

    Just an idea, the pipes from the header flange to the exhaust collector, you should ask Rich if he can make them equal length. The right side seems almost twice as long since it goes around the trans. I bet it would help power and the sound would be amazing.

    You need to try and get the LH and RH branches equal length , run a Cat in each branch and run the two pipes separate as far back down the car as you can, merge just before the silencer. Or put in a decent X-pipe just after the cats and run twin pipes all the way to the tips. That merge at the gear box with unequal lengths from the manifolds is robbing a lot of mid-range.

    bruno said to increase the length of the air filter tube for the test, and then increased it more for the final fit. but then you tested it with the filter on, so maybe thats why it made less power.
    fuel used?
    did you change anything in the ecu map?
    remind me, its an N/A right?
    5-30 isnt it a bit thin for the ring?? old oil condition?
    brakes? fluids?
    lastly, you havent showed us the back box configuration to make it flow better.

    Great videos loving the content, what to use the code for tirestreets, but how does it work getting them fitted?

    hope you dont need two tow trucks to get back. Tho for air flow why not just stick the air filter out the top of the bonnet, like ken block did on the hoonicorn with the turbos being serious with that idea. Or make a giant bonnet vent half cold air in and half warm air out like the one on a nissan skyline r34 nismo vented bonnet if it suits phil just half of the slats facing into the engine bay for cold air in then the other half at the back with the slats facing out so warm airs forced out the engine bay to the rear. But its nice to see after owning phil for years hes still getting worked on upgraded changed and all that still i like that and hes not just been sold after the forst version of him was done like some people on youtube do (no-one specifically)
