Straight piped turbo gasser

[CAROLINA CUMMINS]

Would a straight pipe offer the same benefits for a 4-cylinder turbo'd gas car? (Shelby Charger GLHS for example) like it does for a diesel?

Carolina, yes and no. Sorry.



In a diesel, we are concerned with EGT because there is no air/fuel ratio. In a gasser, the A/F ratio is everything. With the reduction in backpressure in the gasser, the increase in airflow will "potentionally" lean the ratio to un-acceptable levels and burn a valve or piston. In a diesel, increased air will simply lower EGT.



See, in gassers, when you add fuel, the EGT goes down (which is typically good). In a diesel, adding fuel increases EGT which must be limited in a Cummins to around *1300.



So, now that I have bored you to death, be careful about A/F ratios in gassers.



Hope that helps.

Mmmmm Muzzy. #ad




Yeah When I went to 3" in my WRX egt's came up a bit. I compensated with a fmc (Fuel Management Comp)

Just whatever you do. Do not by any means use a chambered muffler I kid you not i once saw a dodge ram with a flowmaster on it. No joke, pretty sad.

Thanks for clearing that up.
