How did you run a 2.5" exhaust, did you cut off the stock toilet bowl and weld it on the 2.5" exhaust, or did you make a new downpipe as well?
Thanks,
Ray
Yeah we made a new downpipe, which is all 2.5 mandrel bent, than to 3 inch no cat no muffler mandrel exhaust. I was there sunday to help mark and brett out I learnt a lot about the injection pumps, pertty sure brett and I took apart marks like 10 times. Tomorrow brett and I are gonna make a downpipe, and maybe the rest of my exhaust. In the next month there are definately gonna be some way fast TD's in chilliwack. Mark, I wanna buy a g tech, what can you tell me about them? cost? reliability ect? the tach seemed pretty acurate so I am thinking maybe I could use one as a tach for the time being? You can email me the info or pm thanks.
I love the big drill press in the background, seriously. The shape of the main column casting is fantastic, it looks like a tree. They don't build stuff that looks like that anymore. You should paint that thing up and put flames on it.
Dave is coming over tonight so that we can do the downpipe and exhaust, on his caddy with a TD motor. Then he is coming back when I return from Edmonton, and when he has his gauges to do the rest of the mods. Unfortunately I don't have a camera, so unless Dave does or Mark wants to make the drive again there won't be any pics.
We drilled a hole in the exhaust manifold to tap+screw in a probe for the pyrometer/EGT gauge:
So, did you guys ever work out some G-tech numbers to compare with Malone's baseline runs? Waiting patiently to see what the new horsepower and torque figures are after all mods you boys did on the "Terra Cotta Jetta". What about some numbers for DVST8R's ride too? Nice work, BTW. Did you do all those mods in one day?
