sasquatch's bp swap thread

[sasquatch]

my friend has some 5inch left over from his diesel truck... hrmmmmm

[timmay89]

3 inch is way too big. I've seen cars push 700+ hp thru a 3 inch. Mine made 154 whp thru the stock 1 7/8ths.

Your not remembering that Sasquatch does EVERYTHING in excess. remember how many lights he had on his car at one point? I think we should be happy he's not asking to put on 4" piping, lol.

[sasquatch]

but yours was before turbo... if i tried to have 1 7/8ths after the turbo (turbo back) it would choke it up like crazy... the less back pressure you have AFTER the turbo the better... it will spool faster and get boost lower down in the rpm range... from what i have been reading going from 2.5inch to 3inch piping they gained torque cause the boost came on 500 rpm faster on avrage... and was a nicer sound IMO... the only thing that i have never heard was having the muffler so far up the exhaust... i dont plan on having anything after the first muffler, so im wondering what it will sound like with all that pipe open from the muffler to the tip... its gonna be about 8 feet im guessing...

i dont like the sound or small of screamer pipes... lol... and i dont want the exhaust venting under my car... it makes a mess after a while... and i want to be diffrent i got this civic exhaust that im never gonna use and its about 1.5 maby 1.75 inch so its the perfect size... and its has the right bends for where i want to rought it... so why not do you guys think 3 inch turbo back is to big? maby 2.5 inch down pipe to 3 inch cat back...

[eurotiva]

Why not just let the wastgegate dump into the atmosphere? That's alot of work to get it back into the exhaust imo.

[Maxtiva]

It is worth giving a try. I'm sure it will sound awesome.

along with some 2.5" v-band clamps. The cheapest ones i can find are around $20 for a pair of flanges and the clamp, shouldn't be so high...

where did you find those v band clamps? i want a set or two for my exhaust...


i posted this up on a local civic forum to see if anyoneh as ever done this before... do you think it will sound good? this is what i said in the civic forum (im to lazy to re-type it all lol..)\


hey i have an idea and was just wondering if anyone has ever done it before.. i wanna hear what it sounds like before i spend a bunch of time making it and then it sounds like crap lol... anyways... has anyone ever heard of someone putting the cat under the oil pan and the muffler right behind it then run your EWG tube past the cat and muffler so when you get up to full boost it will just scream??? i like a quiet low tone when im driving around... but i love it loud when you get on the gas... this is the only way i can think of to get this sound, with out an exhaust cut out...

i was planning on using 3inch turbo back and 1.5inch for the EWG tube... dose that sound like a good size or do you think 2.5 would be better?

do you think with that much open pipe from the muffler to the tip, it would sound like crap?






i know you cant stop staring at my mad drawing skillz

what do you think? sound like rice, or nice?

along with some 2.5" v-band clamps. The cheapest ones i can find are around $20 for a pair of flanges and the clamp, shouldn't be so high...

where did you find them that cheap? i want some "V" band clamps for my exhaust

i have had a couple parts come in

new bolts to replace the junk ones i have lol... new ecu and alt...





also gonna replace this...



but with what? new and improved




ooo and i also took the over flow tank off and washed it out and scrubed the junk off the outside, looks alot nicer now if anyone is having a hard time cleaning plastic, use an "S.O.S." pad... it scratches the plastic up but on a flat solid color plastic it works great i wouldnt try it on clear plastic... it would make a mess lol...


so as you can see i have been SUPER busy

[resuwrecked]

Haha I knew someone would call out my missing boot, someone always does when its in the background, Im about to order one now actually, along with some 2.5" v-band clamps. The cheapest ones i can find are around $20 for a pair of flanges and the clamp, shouldn't be so high...

[eurotiva]

^^ man please put some steering rack boots on that thing. I like the color that the vc turned out. And thanks for the pics.

[resuwrecked]

Ok, here ya go. First of all I replaced my vc gasket and repainted it today.. before and after..


It turned out a funky bronze color, matches my shift knob so whatever, ill do the intake to match when i get time.

Top shot. Like the crooked mount? Some how I drilled the rear hole off center. As soon as I start caring about how unstraght it is I'll whip up a new one.


Alt pulley clearance.
