supersrprint exhaust system

  1. #1
    i currently have asupersprint 4-2-1 mani, supersprint race section and the supersrpint magnum backbox..
    it sounds very raaspy and i love it
    and majority of the time pops changing from 1st to 2nd, and sumtimes coming down the revs ..
    if i was to change it to the supersprint 2" backbox do you think it would become raspier? and pop more?
    ive been told the 2" pops alot ..

    and also, how do u get the exhaust to flame?
    and not with a chavvy flame starter kit thingy

    cheers guys

    and nop no videoim afraid , sorry mate...

    i know its something hard to describe over the internet but what differences did you find when the mani got fitted , noise and performance wise..

    from just the centre and backbox?
  7. #7
    performance, acceleration seemed better, and seemed to pick up alot more after abiout 3k revs.. not sure if that a common thing but sumfing i noticed, mines mk2 so with the new mani it de-catted my car.
    defo noticed a difference, and the difference to the noise was huge, with the standard mani, and the rece sectiona nd backbox, it wasnt very loud, but was a pretty nice sound, when mani got changed, was alot louder and very raspy, alot nicer

    I've got SuperSprint 4-2-1, SuperSprint Race Centre Section and SuperSprint 2" Backbox and it pops all the time, changing gear, letting off etc etc. Also flames when changing down gears at times and on idol if you just tap the throttle. Great system and a great sound imo. Will be more raspy and should pop more than your magnum backbox

    Not a great vid. Like I said above pops and bangs all of the time without fail on every gear change and when letting off. Flames can't really be seen in the vid because I had just washed the car and the zorst was still damp!

    I don't get it all the time mate, just now and again. It's not like it flames every time I start her up or change gear lol, i'd be bloody worried if it did! Just burns a bit of fuel due to using 99 RON all of the time. Never flamed when I used 95 RON to my knowledge so I guess that's what it is... Kinda cool though Goes with the pops and bangs nicely lol
  19. #19
    at the risk of sounding a div, i love it when an exhasut flames, like when watching rallying and u hear the car popping and banging the start flaming, flame just tops of the popping, i love it ...
    but yea can see why it happening all the time could be a bad thing lol..
    andy what u mean yours is set up to pop and bang?
  20. #20
    i use 99 shell v power, but my is mapped to pop and bang!!

    mine only flames on over runs sometimes, think it happen twice since i had the bodies on,

    i was just saying that flaming not a good thing, but not habing ago, anyway it xmas day!!

    Know you weren't having a go mate lol!

    I didn't know you could get it set up to pop and bang. Like mine does it anyway so did yours do it before but just does it even more now?

    Yes it is Happy Christmas
  23. #23
    yea i didnt know u could set it to pop and bang..
    am i right i thinking a remap on my car would be abslolutely pointless??
    cnt wait to get the 2" now have heard whats its liek from you 2 ..
    and it is indeedy, merry christmas everyone
  24. #24
    you can do what i did, as yes a re map would be.

    andy
  25. #25
    i thought as much..
    ahh well...
    if i cammed it then i should get a remap??
  26. #26
    yes get it cammed then get a remap!!

    andy
  27. #27
    see what the new year brings
    and also, how u know which wheel goes on the car where?
    i thought it made no diff, but have heard that there a certain way they gotta go??
  28. #28
    i have a vid of mine for you, supersprint system but with raceland mani and of course a cam lol,

    http://s613.photobucket.com/albums/t...t=IMG_0006.flv

    you know you want a cammed 8v lol
    sounds better in person, it is unmapped though definatly needs a remap

    but depending on what cam you get you may not need a remap, if you get a mild one it will be fine without a remap
  29. #29
    sounds good in the vid mate..
    what cam u running??
    and u no wat bhp its running now? so no the kinda gains u had from it..
    i very tempted to get it cammed
  30. #30
    im running a newmans ph2 cause i have a rallye head, its the same as the ph3 cam duration wise and theres like 0.05mm lift difference i think which really will make sod all difference lol, but the ph2 is made for bigbearing heads like rallye and xsi, cause a ph3 cam wont fit in them heads due to bearing size
    so youd see the same results as me roughly with that ph3 and s1 rallye inlet
    its running about 120bhp atm when i had it on rollers last week, but im going on again in couple of weeks to adjust the cam a bit more see if i can get any more improvments

    it is worth it imo, 16v would be better base, but depends what you want to do
    i enjoy mine and glad i cammed it in a way, ad its very fast lol even unmapped, should be good when its mapped and i have the higher limiter

    ive just updated my progress thread with ful spec and info, so go have a browse at that if you want to give you an idea, plus if you go back a few pages i listed what i did and what was needed to do the conversion to run the rallye head and cam it etc

    very good improvements then, so youve gaind what 30 bhp?
    the mk1 vtr 90bhp standard isnt it?
    so doing this to mine, would be very worth it ..
    how much has it set you back mate??
    and will have a butchers through your thread in a min

    Depends how you look at it, by VTR standards it would be a good figure, but still only 120bhp which is standard VTS teritory...
  33. #33
    yer about that and it still needs a remap, it will still gain a bit more with one, i was hoping for about 130ish with one
    yer it is mk1 vtr so 90bhp std
    erm tbh im not sure, i lost track with costs on it, it cost me more than what it should have cause i ran into numerous problems and which i had to trial and error to sort etc, i recon doing it 2nd time round i could save a good 100 to 200quid, cause i missed out on someresearch that i was completly un aware of, like how different the rallye head is to a vtr one, but rough price id say around 800 to 900, i mean the cam pully and rebuilt head cost me 400 just for them then s1inlet mani, alot of new sensors, 100 on new leads and coilpack, injectors, a complete service and other bits etc etc it all adds up quick, id say more like 900tbh, maybe more due to all the problems

    have a look though may help you out with a few things

    yes thats a good point too, i did really think hard about what to do, i then decided id be a little diff and cam my 8v i thought it would be fun untill i ran into problems then i regreted it and wished id bought a 16v lump, but now its running im glad i cammed it

    depends how you look at it tbh

    yea but mk2s are 98bbhp standard iirc??
    which if all done the same would out out 130 instead of 120 from the mk1?
  36. #36
    no it doesnt work like that i dont think, you will still only see what i will tbh mate

    if you think about it, you get a remap no matter what ecu you will use it will make the same power, unmapped it may vary a bit but with the same set up as mine i cant see it being any higher tbh mate

    Granted that yes, but for all the effort on modfying the VTR engine, you could put a Supersprint exhaust and manifold on the VTS and it would be the same, aswell as having twice the valves, and its DOHC, not SOHC.

    I do respect people tuning VTR engines though, as i have one myself. But a VTS is the better baseline.

    i fully agree mate, would much prefer the vts to b able to tune, but as got a vtr, thought may aswel try and make do with what got...
    and whats DOHC and SOHC??
    i havnt a clue lol

    DOHC = Double Over Head camshaft - So it has 2 cams

    SOHC = Single Over Head Camshaft - So it only has 1

    I fully understand mate, i have a VTR myself, and i have done / intend to finish off with some nice breathing modifications, but i will save and wait until a VTS is available before spending loads. But i agree mate, and i am not taking anything away from the VTR, its still a very capable car and they are used in the the likes of the SaxMax racing series
