1.8L of pure power....

[mitdr774]

It sounds a little raspier in the video than it really is at part throttle. WOT is bad until the exhaust is hot, but this is a N/A 1.8L 4 cylinder. Only so much I can do about it i guess.

Your exhaust sounds very similar to mine with a test pipe... I might look for something that is still sporty but quieter in the future. My current setup has quite a bit of drone some time.

Anyway, nice sound

 

[mitdr774]

Current set up is BNR 4-1 header/mid pipe, ZZP high flow secondary cat, Flowmaster HPII (#12512400), Flowmaster HPII (#12518400), Magnaflow muffler (#11376), and a resonated exhaust tip.

Once the exhaust is hot there is almost no rasp. Under most other conditions it is fairly quiet and rasp free, but if the exhaust is not hot it does get raspy at over 50% throttle. Drone is almost non existent.

AustinK, is that a Lancia 037 rally in your avatar pic? Looks like it but it's kinda small and fuzzy so I'm not sure. Those are probably my all time favorite rally car.

Good eye my friend! Yes, it is. It was supposed to be a .gif of it flying over that hill but alas it didn't work.

Just throwing this picture in here in case I forget about it latter.

With some luck this will help in my exhaust sound issues. I have been told by several sources that it should. Not sure when it will go in, but it needs some clean up work and then ceramic coated first. Might go a whole year with the BNR 4-1 first though.

I still like the bnr design better, but I agree, sound should be better.


When you swap it in, you should send me your 4-1 so I can dyno the difference between the 4-2-1 and 4-1

 

[mitdr774]

I tried setting up a time to get my car to that dyno, but no luck. I am sure that something can be arranged. Who knows, I may end up with the 4-1 being reinstalled at some point. Really should look into getting a before and after dyno for my car.

heres mine man, again I run bnr header, no cats, 2.25 pipe, zzp res, magnaflow muffler ... rolling on the throttle to like 80% merging http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YaN7ReZCyU:D

 

[mitdr774]

Sounds good inside. I need to get an in car sound clip for mine.

 

[mitdr774]

Cold start (12*f coolant temp kind of cold).




Some interior sound level. Window is down part way to avoid having to use the defrost.

 

[mitdr774]

The first part has arrived for my swap. Figured I would start with the cheapest part...

 

[$ub$onic]

You should swap the shifter knob out for the 5 speed one

 

[mitdr774]

If it was threaded I would think about it. I may still look to see if I can find a way to mix and match and use the 5 speed knob/shift arm.

 

[mitdr774]

Forgot to throw these in here the other week.

Decided that I wanted it to blend in a little.

Changed up the intake as well. Due to needing to be able to run the factory program on longer trips I have to run the foam filter.

More goodies on the way soon.

 

[mitdr774]

One more addition. I had to modify the harness that came with it and use part of my factory harness to make them work, but here is my temp solution until I have the factory housings painted body color.

It's coming along nicely. How are you liking the DDM brace.

 

[mitdr774]

Due to weather conditions I have not been able to test it out much. I suspect it will provide about the same response as my 98 Z24 did when lowered without a sway bar added. The stock twist bean in my Z24 has a bar welded in it from the factory and serves a similar function.

Still waiting on my front bar (bnr), disk swap and rear bar (zzp). I really do hope that DDMW finishes the front brake upgrade before auto cross season starts. I also need to order some mounts from TTR.

 

[mitdr774]

Well I now have two of the three most recent purchases. No instructions for the sway bar but I am sure it will be fairly easy to figure out once I get under the car again.

ZZP rear sway bar.

ZZP rear disk conversion.

Should be a fun auto cross season.

 

[AustinK]

I second the fun auto cross season.. I can't wait. You have quite the 1.8 build. I envy it
