How technical are you experts in the house???

 

I am thinking of running two downpies from my Turbos into a single pipe and then running that along through the car to exit at the rear.

 

I am wondering how it would effect the Turbos, if at all, with one down pipe being much longer than the other and going over the bellhousing and meeting the second down pipe on the other side.

 

Can anyone see any issues with back pressures from the Turbos if these pipes meet closer to one Turbo than the other?? That is, would the higher pressure from the shorted length pipe blow back up into the longer pipe??

 

Does that make sense at all ???

 

Cheers

dave...

Oh, stock turbo is T25, so you will need T2 style turbo flange (assuming you're keeping stock manifolds).

You might need to lag that pipe behind the heads as there are a couple of hoses round the back, turbo coolant etc that are going to cook with the heat from there.

Dunk, I was hoping to be getting over 400 with the standard turbos to be honest. Perhaps the elusive 500 is just a pipe dream, and beer talk. It could actually prove to be the cars downfall if it has too much power? No point just sitting there with the wheels spinning! The Red Anglia has just over 240 hp and thats plenty. Its a handful as it is!!

 

Would a T3 turbo easily bolt up then?? These are ten a penny to get hold of.

 

Willie, I will be lagging all the pipes mate. Not sure that over the box way is the best route to follow. Possibly a lot of fabrication for nowt? Simple side exit pipes may be the future??

 

Wanna see some mad exhausts from an old project of mine...? Giz a mo...

I loved these pipes...

 

 

That was one of the cars I sold cheap to a mate because of circumstances at the time, then he flogged it on later and made a profit!! I should have just stuck it in a shed some place... DOH!!

you sound like you have a lot of fun with cars dave,

 

I wish i could affor too lol

And if you promise not to tell anyone I will show you my shiney stainless pipes, what a tart eh...?

 

They look nowt but cost me a packet to have made...

 

Propper old school there!

 

Cheers

No mate, its just my hobby. I have worked hard all my life and its what I do for fun. Well, that and drink beer of course! I also used to buy project cars, spend time and money on them and sell on for profit to fund the next car. My only problem is I get attached to some of them... doh!

 

Cheers

An ugly one this time...

 

 

I never kept that car for long. Its also never been seen since I sold it??

 

Has anyne spotted my perversion for taking pictures of exhausts yet! LOL... I am starting to worry myself that I have so many of them. Weirdo!!

Post up some pics of the mk2 cossie.Id kill my own mother for one.That angle box is the dogs Dave.Even though i love zeds i still lust after street sleeper retro fords.On e bay roughly two years ago a mk2 escort mexico cossie was up for grabs.You probaly know the car it was orange and featured in a magazine.I kept pics of that for screensavers on the pc.

It was owned by a lad called Darran, he actually painted my Blue Mk2 many years ago. Its been painted again since then though, and underneath twice! Oh, and its not even been on the road yet!!

 

Pictures you say, let me look see...

I hope your Mother is not a reader of this site by the way!! ;)

 

Which Mk2 Cossie did you mean? I have had three of them. Sold the Yellow and Oramge ones now though. But still have my long serving money pit!

 

As you can see, my current Mk2 is still to finish, but its getting there. In no particular order of build...

 

 

You get the idea???

 

Cheers

Wow that looks amazing, very nice!!!!

I have also had this old shed of a project for over 10 years now...

 

Yep, sorry. I am just showing off now... I will get my coat...

If it helps I have 2 sections of 3 inch bore merged into 4 inch to one can which is 2.5 inches straight through. The 4 inch bore pipes were from Eminox and were actually for a a Volvo FL6 truck. As for what you are doing thatsa different kettle of fish. Mine has a deep drone which is loud on full pelt but not Corsa 1-litre loud, to me sounds like a racing car lol.

 

Cheers John

Yes mate thats the sort of idea I was having. Like the four into one set up on a motorbike (yep, into them as well), or where a N/A manifold merges into one pipe. Exactly that. So if it works for you I shoul dbe fine, which ever way I end up going. Sorted!

 

How does one of these V6 lumps sound on full rumble by the way? I bet its nice! I am lucky enough to have a neighbour that likes loud cars, bless her!!

Wow...that is so....wow !!

 

Im not really a ford fan, nothing newer than 1980, but I have a soft spot for the Mk1/Mk2 Escort and other classic fords and that just looks incredible.

Why thank you. I have promised that the Mk2 will be on the road for summer. Its all insured, just needs finishing off and an MOT then here I come...
