Supertank update IV

[AWDisuzu]

actually, you may not be running enough power to worry about it yet. my motor made 90 whp stock and almost 600 whp now. so i guess when you're up to 3000+ hp you should upgrade the headers.

How's that SMART car workin' out for ya?


Hot air moves quicker than cold air. Headers/manifolds need *some* heat in order to be efficient.
The trick is finding that magical temperature.


Mike- You saw the Jet-Hot thread, right?

hot air takes up more space than cold air, so it flows quicker because it's got more volume. after a while, it needs bigger tubes to keep flowing. my exhaust pressure must have been pretty high to rip the header open!

and yes, I have jet hot coating on my turbos, but not on my manifolds.

Man.....

1) I am not a stock motor
2) If I need more power I will up the shot.....for FREE
3) I currently make more power than I can use on the street
4) headers are for girls
5) headers have been proven to cause testicular tumors
6) your mama

1) I am not a stock motor
2) If I need more power I will up the boost.....for FREE
3) I currently make more power than I can use on the street
4) headers are free horsepower, and allow the exhaust valve & seat to run cooler.
5) headers have been proven to sound really good, not like a girls Schwinn (made in China) with clitty litter on tha seat.
6) your headlights are what I will be seeing in my rear view mirror.
7.Hook it up or loose........................

Good one Jack.:rock: :rock: :rock:

 

[lightninquick]

mike,,,,you should really consider headers,,,,if you are gonna run a big shot of nitrous you will have to retard the timing to much.

now i realise your hatred for the illegal long tubes,,,,,how about a set of street legal one off big tube shorty's :dontknow:

LOLOLOLOLOL

Nowwhat is on the moooooove today!!

Oh wait that chik is commin on spike 4wd tv, yum gotta go

Or you had a weld fail or a tube fracture. With the amount of heat these engines produce, it wouldn't surprise me if there are instances of metal fatigue simply due to heat, and not necessairly pressure.

and yes, I have jet hot coating on my turbos, but not on my manifolds.

I was actually talking to the other Mike, but.....I guess it works both ways.

Kev...send me those coated manifolds and I will test them out for you...

Sure!
You don't mind if I drive the GS while I'm waiting for the other set of manifolds to come back, do you?

 

[AWDisuzu]

40 psi of boost should put you at 2800 hp at the wheels.

[lightninquick]

MIKE!!!!!! some sort of headers!!! please!!!!!!

not for hp,,,,just to cool your poor pistons!!!!! if you dont you will end up with a burnt skirt,,,,,,,on the piston, not your own

What up R...

have you seen the SRT manifolds...?....they are basically shorties...but since you asked so nicely...I will be at DC performance tomorrow and I will ask Dan to talk with Kevin at EED....and I will do whatever they say....

what is your new best time....9's yet....?....

kind of like the shorties except the shorties are kind of close to having equal length runners..
