EddieB Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think the next step for me in my 98R IPD chip and exhaust is to install a down pipe. Has anyone done a before and after dyno run? I also think at that time I would do a port & polish in the turbo. I like the EUROSPORT pipe at $750ThanksEddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the underlørd Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 hey Eddie, i've read claims of up to about 10-15 HP (can't remember if that's B or Whp tho) EST's DP is a good call. Not too many guys making Dp's for the AWD cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelostartof Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 wasn't jesse gonna make some AWD downpipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jross Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 From what I've seen (dyno results and the like) the IPD chips arn't terribly flexible to large changes in the engine. Just something to keep in mind, since it's not tuned for a downpipe nor probably tunable :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I netted something like 7hp I believe. 5 was probably better cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gioseppe Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 the est downpipe for awd models is 3" off of the turbo, but reduces to 2.5" to clear the angle gear.you could fit a 3" in there next to the angle gear, but it would be difficult.last i heard, pat is giving jesse something to model off of for a full 3" downpipe.

jross Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 So are you saying It wouldn't help or that the car would run lean with the down pipe installed?It would probably help, but I don't know how the IPD chip would react. Best bet is to contact IPD (pretend you're going to buy their DP or something ) and make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Since you have an exhaust already the difference will not be that noticeable. Probably only during longer duration full throttle runs. All other the exhaust only will do enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

855R Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I have an IPD ecu and installed a 3"down pipe, along with a 16T but thats another topic. The down pipe is definatly a top end thing just like Johann said. Did not hurt my bottom end at all but that could be the 16T, my top end now pulls much stronger and my car keeps the boost gauge pegged at 100mph+. I'm sure I could find more power with a re-tune on the ecu to factor in the upgrades but it sure seems to do ok for now. When I finally do get around to spending the $$$ for the retune I'll wonder why I did not do it sooner :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
