Good table, but the figures are confusing to say the least...My 306 is running over 450bhp on a single 2.5" pipe dia. That table says I won't be able to get over 238bhp with that setup... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I made nearly 230 hp on a 2" pipe, according to that only 144 is possible  ________________________________________ 2.1 16v 306 Rallye. |

They must be wrong. As like Matty says, even for his situation being high powered N/A they are well off reality.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Is the idea of the 4-2-1 manifold to get the hot exhaust gases out of and away from the engine quicker than a standard that has a whole load of bends ? The back presure is the other factor I assume ? I know everyone thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread but pug would of designed the manifold with economy in mind along with other factors such as pollution and noise ? |

It's not that I think its the best thing ever designed, but if I'm running over 450bhp with it, why would I need to run anything else? Rich ran 540bhp before other parts let it down not the manifold. I could up the power of mine easily using the standard manifold, but then reliability of the power unit comes into it. Maybe, as has been mentioned high power N/A MAY see a benefit in torque at the top level, but for running a charger we've proved it isn't necessary.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Ok Mei - fair point.However, why go the expense of creating a manifold that is good enough to flow 600bhp when 500bhp is probably the absolute max you would want out of the conversion and that can be achieved with the standard manifold. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

why did rich go to 550+ then ?  There's potential there to make it more efficient, which would mean less fuel used, less heat buildup, more reliability etc. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If Rich's suffered with heat issues between cylinders, would that of been better if a different manifold was used? If so, then having one would be useful, as means Stan/Buzz could run more than 500.

At 500+bhp the power became very 'peaky'. It was felt that you would get better driveability at around the 450bhp mark which is why that is the aimed for target.Don't forget the C38 series charger can deliver 600bhp, but it really isn't necessary. If people really think its something that can be improved, let Buzz try an alternative manifold and lets see the results. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

That rough table is out by about 15-20%, for a well designed system. In fact if you look at the next figure up from the size you're after, it's about right then.Of course you can make more power through a smaller system, but usually that does mean higher EGT's and less power/economy than you potentially could be making (or make the same power with less boost, etc) ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

straighter pipes wont make a noticeable difference, its smooth radius correct lengths and diameters that counts.    ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

fatlapit wrote: Very sorry but a perfect exhaust is straight with no restrictions You are actually very wrong, you have missed out on the benefit of pressure waves or pulses when it comes to cylinder scavenging. If the exhaust is tuned to the correct length/size the low pressure wave from the previous exhaust stroke helps to draw the exhaust gas from the next pulse down the pipe. Its all clever stuff but the point at which becomes 2 and becomes is critical to help achieve this. 4 short individual pipes would actually produce less power than 4 matched ones. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
