That didn't answer my question.

What are your reasonings for:

1. Using a wastegate to make the dump, because it can be controlled by vacumn? What is triggering the vacumn to open the wastegate?

2. Do see a problem with it being such a small diameter? I know hotter exhaust gasses don't need a huge diameter but that wastegate diameter looks really small

3. Why do you need a DP dump? are you using a cat for the street?

Do you work at FP?

 

1. because WG are designed to be used in a high temp environment. We are using boost pressure to open the WG, not vaccum.

2. There is no problem with the size of the WG on the DP, whatever it can dump to ATM will help reduce pressure in the DP.

3. I don't need it, much like everyhting else excessive, it comes from desire, I WANT IT.

 

besides, it isnt loud untill I stomp on it.

 

Must be so loud under full boost!! Nice numbers man!

 

Any Vids?????

 

See how easy that was to answer the questions? Thank you.

It's a different idea / setup then I have seen before. Kudos for trying something different.

 

yes... Working on it.

 

Thanks.

 

a pic of the engine.

 

MSR has been rented by PCA for the whole weekend... Friday, Sat. Sun. and Monday... So I'll have to wait until next week to track the car and post feedbacks on the car... Raffi from Autoscope drove the car today... The only thing he could say over and over was holly ****!

 

very very slick setup, Round. I've got to say, that if there's any company I trust to bring the best products to market and do it right the first time, as well as implement innovative tricks and techniques like the one you've got on your exhaust setup, it would be FP. I was an early adopter of their 3055 turbo on my gsx and I've been very happy with the product from day one.

While I'm not a huge fan of external WG dumps or exhaust cutouts, you've got to appreciate the craftsmanship and clever use of a passive device like this WG and you certainly can't argue with the numbers. Very nice!

 

Thanks... The car is so much fun to drive. I have waited a long time for FP to do their R&D on their new brake set up for the EVO... I got to say it is now equaly entertaining to push on the gas and brake pedal

I am going to try to have my new FP cams put in next week before the track and also try to get it on the dyno...

I have to say, I feel VERY lucky to have great local support for the car... FP for engineering and Autoscope for wrenching on the car and also doing a heck of a job on chassis tunning!

I'll also try to post more pics and vids.

 

I've also noticed that Robert and the boys are now carrying Ohlins. Hmmmmm bery interesting.

Well, just got back from MSR and the brakes are just Killer...! The pedal modulation is fantastic (doesn't upset the anti lock). I was able to do only on session (clutch is gone).

Also I was impressed with Brake Man brake fluid... Changed from SRF. The great thing about the fluid is that it is way cheap.

Next week end I will take the front SB off and see if I get a bit more grip at the apexes...

 

kool idea on the exhaust cut out.
