I've got a powerflow system. It's the standard manifold with a box under neath the gearstick which I'm guessing is the resonator? Then the powerflow starts from there and it has 2 silencers before the back box. I find it way too droney and boomy, especially at motorway speeds. Should I replace this for a trackslag or is the resonator gone.
Hard to say to be fair but I've not herd any bad things about trackslag, mine is the early 2 box performance system and its absolutely fine with no drone
very interesting this, mine came with a sting in the tail brand with dtm pipes which i love, now im thinking it isnt so good! time to look around maybe?
I guarantee it isn't any good. They're designed the same way as the magnex....I cut one open years ago knowing what to expect having seen inside a magnex that started rattling inside. It's also easy to determine by feeling the pulse...or lack of it...coming from the tailpipes. I gained 7hp peak and 13hp midrange on a customer 8v putting out 125hp at the time, so they really cap back performance on bigger power cars. I've got both the magnex and ex sting in the tail version I've used as bad examples for years. Custom is the way forward by someone who actually knows how to design for performance rather than marketing. Supersprint twin outlets have a Y design which works fine, we adapted a magnex the same way.
@@mrhillclimber hi mate think i know you off clubgti 👋👍👍 yes spot on info my current 16v abf mk2 felt lile it was beimg strangled, really quiet at idle and would cut out i jokingly said to myself could it be tje scorpion bb! its been for a mild resto so think ill chane it soon, best wishes and thanks (yep supersprint look.like theyve got a better idea!)
@@mrhillclimber yes indeed thank you. I dont live too far from pipewerx (ian birch) i did think of seeing what he could do too? friend of mine had a kawasaki (no idea what model) it came with a pipewerx system and sounded absolutely amazing 👍
Hi, with all you're knowledge what is the cheapest things to do with kr engine, to make it produce more torque. 1. Wur mod. 2. Ignition. 3. Eurocam 50mm 4. Manifold Anything else?
Hello from Greece and congratulations for your channel..i have problem and maybe you can help me,adjust my injectors 130cc per min and the car don't work,starts but is poor,works only with high cc per min like a 50-60cc per 20 second..and revs between 5.5-6.5..my jetronic is from Porsche 924turbo..the first Measurement at cc is 80-110-140-30 at 40 second..
@@GreyGooseRestorations Nice, lookin forward to that. And some CIS-E content. Have a 1983 Jetta 2dr with 2.0L 16V on CIS-E. DIY head worked. P&P, 50mm port matched intake, undercut valves and 3 angle, autotech street cams etc. With WOT enrichment and some tweaks I have got AFR in the 12's @ WOT. Still gets 32mpg highway at 75mph. It's FUN... Also seen your letting some HP go for torque gain. Ever do any testing with a ported and matched 42mm intake? I ran the smaller runner Rocco intake for some time and I swear the seat of the pants was better. But kept the rocco 50mm just cause it's rare here in USA and ads some cool factor.
Great point. Yup, probably time for a redo on the catback on mine 😅
I’ve spent 25 years fannying around with Mk2’s, Trackslag are the best by a mile!
100%
I can’t see a heat line like that in my exhaust,
so I guess/hope it’s good flowing..?
It’s a Remus midbox and supersprint backbox..
it started itching all over just by watching :P

Always worth a look see

@@ravenmaster6364 yep one and the same. The other option could be the trackslag one that Martin has.

Hi, with all you're knowledge what is the cheapest things to do with kr engine, to make it produce more torque.
1. Wur mod.
2. Ignition.
3. Eurocam 50mm
4. Manifold
Anything else?
Firstly make sure its running correctly then;
- WUR modification
- exhaust system
- ABF cams / twin KR exhaust cams
The list could go on to be fair
@@GreyGooseRestorations do you think its better to tune my kr engine, or just go with abf?
@Ailiking a well set up KR will be closely matched to a stock ABF in the real world, the KR will give you more feel vs the ABF is quite linear
Perhaps you have answered this, but which brand is that?
I have TA Techix and its the cheapest one out there, perhaps I have the same idiot design
This particular one was magnex

I change cams 268' maybe i have problem with the marks?my camsfaft chain is Loose has a little gap
Id focus on that first as its more likely to cause issues
200HP part 5? success? Now I see its not the track car. Oh, well.
I still have a few bits to do so will be another dyno revist
