i have stock 240cc injectors in my b16 and i think the injector on a eclipse (320cc) would fit. By changing the injectors only is there any diff. in HP ?

exhaust flow is exhaust flow, pressure is pressure
A car is a car ferrari or daewoo

ORIGINAL: nightrider46

same coming out of the pistons when it makes its explosion
Cylinder, and I think it more of a burn. an explosion is more violent and destructive.





Oh and about the cat being there for back pressure. Its really there to burn up unburnt fuel. Also, if it was there to add backpressure and you needed back pressure why do you get power with a test pipe.

I kno the cat is to burn fuel but maybe if u kno a trick or two of getting hp you'll kno that u get more hp out of ur car when u replace it with a resonator y dont u try taking ur cat out and running a straight pipe and tell me if u lose backpressure or not then come talk, you'll get your gains at higher rpms but your acceleration will suck *cuz of the backpressure is not there*

Actually you get signifigant power with a straight pipe


If you could run straight headers out of the engine and thats it, you would have alot more power. Can you explain why we need back pressure? Ive never heard anyone be able to sy wahy, only that you need it.

when u run a straight pipe straight from the engine all the way down u will lose power espeacilly if u make ur pipe bigger that a 2 1/2 inch. U only do those things when u have turbos or Nos

Besides, my turbo causes more then enough back pressure for me. When I run straight pipe at the track I cant really feel any backpressure, althoug I must admit I dont know what backpressure would feel like but there is a most deffinate gain in ponies. (the power ones and the ones I pass, lol)

So you dont need backpressure with a turbo or NOS? What a bout a supercharger?
