"cause it will not last..... do it right the first time..."

Gee, well mine is only 4 years and over 20,000 Miles old, but hey, we'll see what it run like when its run in, hey ?

Just Joking... seriously, the time and hassle of a Bulkhead conversion, just wasnt worth it to me.... no major Engineering hassles, no major heat hassles, plumbing is easy to get to and maintain..... but you are right, the Metro setup is heaps better for instant response.....

My opinion, (and its only mine, mind you) is that the pulses are nicely smoothed out by the time it hits the turbine with the longer rnners, so the response, while a little slower, is a lot smoother and a little higher in the rev-range.... BUT by keeping the pipe diameter small, you can increase the exhaust velocity, it seems to even out.....

I still vote for the longer, high-mount setup

An Old pic, but you gets the idea.....

was not saying yours was not done right Kazjim... I am just saying if ya dont build the motor right the first time.. IT WILL crap ITSELF :lol:

and well... if ya think about it..... getting things engineered... well if ya putting a turbo in and disks and all that good stuff... well ya need to get it done anyways.. so why not just go the bulk head box... not hard to make or just buy a pre fab one from Karcraft... minisport.. avonbar...

The think I dont like about mounting it there is the room it takes up...

you would struggle to put a booster in there eh?

Booster.. humph, who needs a booster......

i WOULD like the room for a 'cooler, but having just finished my prototype water-injection, i may not need it....

I just need to fine-tune the water amount now.... :D

Oh, and mount it into the car.. but thats the easy part :oops:

Cody if you feel the need for a booster, stick it in the car under the dash where the works rally cars had it. :wink:

And before you ask, No I'll never make another one ever again :lol:
