a buddy of mine had a full bp rx3 (na) and here are the differences vs a stock port.
pros: more torque from 2000-11,000rpm sounds neat 25+ mpg on the freeway cons: does not do part throttle under 5000rpm when you cut the water jacket engine life goes way down (12-18months, before it starts sucking water) the car was NOT loud, it was using 2 loooong glas packs and 2 turbo mufflers, it was very reasonable |
The part throttle drivability, and power below 5k would have been much better with a free-flowing exhaust. Even properly tuned with a stand alone EMS a BP motor won't do partial throttle below 5K? What happens when you try? Do they try to stall out? Sorry, never driven a BP car before, just courious. Thanks, -Ryan |

Ours do. The half-BP combinations I've been doing lately seem to drive well from about ~2krpm and above... around that neighbourhood and below, it will stutter and bounce around a bit.
