Yeah, your car probably gets there in the time it takes me to get to 80 or so. N/As are sloooooow, but its certainly quick enough for me at the moment. |

I've had the car up to about 101...takes a bit of time to get there however https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
Still not sure if my 6ports are opening or not, tried the put the grease and see if it moves trick but the results are inconclusive. Perhaps I ought to wire em shut. You could probably do all sorts of fun things with an N/A and get a considerable amount of HP out of it but there's a certain point at which it would be cheaper to do a turbo swap. As for myself, I'd love to have both sitting around beefed up but that costs moooney. And as I are gainfully unemployed at the moment moooney is a bit tight. Meanwhile, I think I'll run a compression test blah blah and see where my car is at...it's not like I can do much to it to make it faster without blowing it to kingdom come. 185k miles ya know. |

I had my 86 GXL up to around 125 a couple of times. It didn't take too long to get there and still felt like it wanted to go. My brother had up to 135 when he had it in Montana. He said it still wanted to go, but slowed down after he caught a bit of air on a pothole.

ILuv, how much do you want for the dual exhaust? I assume you mean the true dual advertised on mazdatrix, does that have a deal to open the 6 ports, or do I have to figure something else out for that?

[QUOTE]I gained more than 5 hp from my exhaust, more like 20 - 30 hp. But the car is still slow!
[QUOTE]< I meant from not running at least one converter, not the whole exaust, and I would still question 20-30 hp from a N/A with only a exaust change |
I have the original Racing Beat exhaust too...at least that's what the guy who sold me the car told me. I've had the car for almost 4 years and it's still in great shape...a little loud, though.

But the car is still slow! < I meant from not running at least one converter, not the whole exaust, and I would still question 20-30 hp from a N/A with only a exaust change This system is the culmination of considerable testing time here at Mazdatrix, using many different designs and pipe sizes. The result is by far the best HP from a bone-stock 86-92 13B non-turbo we have seen. We showed a 28% increase in rear wheel HP on a chassis dyno with this system. Torque is increased greatly from 2000 RPM on up, with the power peaking at 7000 RPM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ILuv, how much do you want for the dual exhaust?

It does have a tube comming off the header that opens the 5th and 6th ports. I'm thinking I'd sell it for around $700. It is NOT the complete it from Mazdatrix, I bought my own mufflers, and had a muffler shop weld them up to the flanges I made. I did this to try and save some $, but it only saved me maybe $100. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

The mufflers are just a couple of "race" mufflers, that I bought at a local rice shop. They are polished stainless. I would really perfer to sell them to someone local because shipping will be a bitch, and it would cost a lot of $$. As for the sound, it's are VERY loud. I made 2 plugs to shove into the muffler tips to quiet it up a little. I think Phinsup is the only person on this forum that has heard the car without the plugs in the mufflers.
|
ahh well, it does look like shipping would be a bitch, and I would prefer mufflers that look almost stock, ala racing beat, oh well, maybe I will save the money, like a responsible person. *cough* hmm, wonder if a S-AFC will help my possible rich running problem
