Was just wondering if getting an aftermarket will make any different on stock twins. Just looking for more reliability mods to make on my car after I do the AST and get the Fluidyne installed.

 

spend your money on other things if your stock bov is working

 

Alright DP time it is. Any suggestions on which one to go with? I was thinking of the Tanabe one that is coming out soon for the FD or the HKS one. Decisions...

 

try to find a used one from the classified here or rx7club, a lot of people convert to single turbo and have downpipes laying around. if you want an easy install go with the hks(but they are not stainless steel i think) pettit, pfs, racing beat, and other big name ones are always good since the welds are done right and cuz of the good thickness of the steel



you can also get the e bay ones, the piping is pretty thin though, so you can actually hear the gasses flow through them, i had an e bay one on my car for 2 years and beated on it, the welds held and it also came with a midpipe and all the needed gaskets for 100 bucks.

 

If you have the money, consider getting your DP heat-coated, or buy one that already is. IIRC, it costs around $100 to do it, but really helps out with underhood temps and marginally helps performance.

If your on a tight budget, just get some header wrap for around $40. Not as pretty, but still effective.

make sure you prime and paint the downpipe with high temp paint , i used this 1500 deg paint from summit... holding up so far, and i've gotten my egt to 800 deg celcius
