LightFantastic Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Replacing the OEM (gutted) UP and DP with a (larger) aftermarket UP and DP? I will ofcourse re-dyno the vehicle. You think I will notice any increase in power? I prefer quiet exhaust, so that is staying OEM. Turbo is a 16G BNR. Intercooler is reinforced. E85 is available here, but I'm not sure if I want to shell out the extra thousand to support it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSpeed Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Up no, dp yes... lots of info in the archives. That intercooler will eventually blow apart no matter how reinforced it is, I went through 3. With stock mufflers no one will know there's anything done to the car. However, where are you? The BNR 16g hardly gets by on stock injectors at 5280' of altitude.

LightFantastic Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Are you using the OEM exhaust? It's been three years, and the intercooler is fine. I'm only making 19 lbs though. MN Edit. I did a search. Just a bunch of people arguing that didn't really seem to know anything in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSpeed Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 OEM mufflers is what I have, I think it hurts spoolup a little, which also hurts your peak torque slightly, but it's worth it to not be loud. I'm surprised the intercooler is fine. The 3 I had were jbwelded and the tabs all still started to separate at 17.5psi. Are you sure it's fine?
