I think quite accurate as my 2.0 turbo only using 2.5"
Added on December 11, 2011, 10:49 amI think bro. low yat 82 can advise you better on this, but basically older days we call them 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full cams.
The higher the cam the rougher the idling but power gain is much better in the high end but poor in the lower end.
Lower cam have better idling and good lower end but high end gain is less, so you have to choose properly.
For mushroom type or open pod, best is couple with Cold Air Intake (CAI)
lol... any cams wit 270+- duration or lower is OK..provided d lift is not to aggressive... works enginerrin / powerzone cam looks fine. jasma cam if u r on tight budget...
but d rough idle is vry adrenaline pumpin... huhu

i disagree with it...piping size doesnt always relate to CC...its more on the amount of power u have and where in the rev ranger is that power at.
take for example 1.6...campros and CPS goes up to 2.0 and the gain is pretty decent... even CPS stock piping size is 2.0....go bigger and kaput...
but when it comes to the 1.6 MIVECs and VTECs...although the 2" pipes is pretty decent for those engines but they benefit more with 2.3" especially since most of the peak power is at the higher end of the rev range and the bigger pipe size really benefits the higher rev range.
my 2.0 VTEC is running 2.5" pipes.. and its good...so good.. 4-1, 2.5" pipe, 1 midbox, no muffler.
i also have an exhaust cut out valve.. so when the valve closed the exhaust is forced from a 2.5" pipe into a 2.3" pipe and s-flow muffler.....i lose 15hp about 1.2kg torque. tested this on the dyno just yesterday
so max n/a is 2.0"??? big big no.
agree... d pipe sizin is really depends on d engine characteristics n also d driver's handling d fuel pedal. there r act a bunch of software to calculate d piping size for certain rpm one's r aimin accordin to inlet valve, outlet, bore, stroke, cam duration n lift yadyadyadya..
but for rough guidance, 2.0" is still d magic number where alot tuner / guides use as threshold..lol

In this case, how do I improve back my low end? add mid box?
current set-up, 4-2-1 , 2 small bullet + s flow muffler. running on 2.0" piping.
2 mufflin is enough at middle. 3 r too much...lol.. like i said, d cheapest way is change d piping size.. rm150+- settle..lol
