Maybe you could use three 3" pipes? We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon

Maybe you could use three 3" pipes? Actually it's radius sq. x Pi, but you probably know that So more like 19 sq. inches for a 5" pipe and 14 for two 3" pipes. So its like a 4 1/4" pipe or so. I did my dp like this for the same reason as you. '72 Scamp, 3500#, 440, S400, blowthrough, meth. inj. 9.78 @ 139 so far at 12 psi, 11.00 @ 131 on real street tires.

So there is some reduction, but not that much.. 3.5" pipe is basically a wash, 3" is a little small, but really do you need a 5" pipe for an 80mm turbo? Probably not...

I know there are guys making big power that way. '72 Scamp, 3500#, 440, S400, blowthrough, meth. inj. 9.78 @ 139 so far at 12 psi, 11.00 @ 131 on real street tires.

I put the 4" back on because it fit so much better. but I'm not pushing it to the absolute limits. No need for 5" on an s480 anyways. One day I will have something cool here.

A five inch pipe has an area of 78 inches. Maybe you could use three 3" pipes? Actually it's radius sq. x Pi, but you probably know that I thought it was A=pir2 but checked online to be sure. This is what I found: Quote: The radius of a circle is 3 inches. What is the area? Solution: = 3.14 � (3 in) � (3 in) = 3.14 � (9 in2) = 28.26 in2 Now, if you're an idiot like me, you see 3" radius and go with it. Nevermind the fact that you're working with a 3 diameter*. So, if he dumps the 10" pipe into two 6" pipes he'll need a third pipe. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse.

This is what I have now and am trying to get the 3" pipes to run up next to the eng so they dont hang to low under the k-member. Thanks Cheers gg408 6360485-Copyof101_0098.JPG (51 downloads) Last edited by gg408; 12/16/10 07:12 AM.

The air will begin losing rotation as soon as it leaves the turbine but that first turn is still very turbulent. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse.
