Blacktop perform shit after install trumpet

[Veloc]

Dear all sifus and forumers.

Have a problem here. Actually asking on behalf of a friend. He recently did a full rebuild on this blacktop. Power is phenomenal while using a simota stainless steel open pod. Recently, he changed his set up to using trumpets filtered by socks.

To my surprise, the engine feels sluggish and doesn't pull much anymore. We tried revving it all the way to 8k rpm but even at high rpms, the pull is not there anymore. Where have we gone wrong and how do we solve this? Could it be the measurements of the trumpets? What is the ideal diameter and length of the trumpets for blacktop???

Hope to get your advice here

longer trumpet (100-110mm) will improve low rpm torque..

shorter trumpet (35-50mm) will improve high rpm power..

i'm using 50mm trumpet with toms plenum & HKS air filter :top:

my logic...with open trumpet you need to direct more fresh air...need to pair it with CAI...

stock intake plenum direct more fresh air compared to open trumpet setup...

and did you reset the ECU after installing...let the ecu relearn and recalibrate itself...

and u need a CAI from ur front bumper to your trumpet if u don't wanna use plenum..

my engine using DIY cnc machine trumpet, size 55mm height 50mm inner diameter.... rpm raise quickly than using plenum box... 4th gear can rev until 7.5krpm very steady

Thank you for the info guys... Oh ya... We were using the cheapo JASMA trumpets. Quite short and stubby. Will advise him to try 100 mm ones and direct some cold fresh air to the trumpets.

But then again, when he was using the simota stainless steel filter, there wasn't cold air intake. It was just hot air intake form the engine bay. I advised him against using that. But to my surprise, the car pulls really well at that time. So considering that we are using trumpet now without fresh air, how come the performance drop so much?

better take a pic of his engine bay.. only then we can see what's wrong with it

hopefully

try taking out the "socks"... might cause air restrictions during high-rev.

you need this one to perform better..ha ha ha

open trumpet with stock cam...feel sluggish..no power..high fuel consumption... not much can help lah..it normal..

yess....one way to trouble shoot problem.....gud idea...

 

[nappx]

want to trouble shooooot problem or wanna see people engine bay..
best setup for stock engine...maintain the stock air box, shot trumpet inside, drop in filter plus cai

from my experience jasma trumpets doesnt quite match bt itb...its slightly smaller...try and measure it..

can read more about it over here

SQ Engineering - Articles - Intake tuning

got calculator some more... :P

toda measurement also interesting... as seen here...

Thank you I try to fix back the plenum and use air filter then. Without socks seems a bit cruel for daily driving.

Yeah I always ask him to keep things stock unless he upgrade cams but he never listen. But got plans for cams in the future.
