Powderlites nytro tunnel dump

[Turblue]

Anyone have a picture of a tunnel dump exhaust off the turbo?

Hard to tell, but that sticks out the back with a muffler that's missing? I was thinking of dumping forward like the cr racing does on the mcx turbos.....actually found this on alpine low boost kit...something like that......

I have a front mount turbo with tunnel dump. The complete exhaust pipe is about 6 inches total, makes for crisp throttle response.

all I did was cut off the end of the pipe and installed a downpipe. Quick, simple and cheap.

You are the second guy to ask. Here are a couple of pics of my tunnel dump. It is quiet in the snow, and not bad on the trail. Much quieter than the pipe on my stocker.

Thanks fellas

Its actualy not bad, louder on hardpack trails but off trail its good. My original setup with the pipe was louder and didn't work as well and 2strokes with pipes can be much louder.
There was a big improvement in spoolup and throttle response, though it was not slow the improvement is noticable.

I've switched mine up to mostly all boost it to include the GARRET 2863 GTX turbo as the housing is the same. This all makes a huge difference in performance and reliability as well. Any questions please ask.

 

[Turblue]

Boost it here to......how can I tell what size turbo is on this sled. Says m24 and a serial number

 

[rknight111]

That's sounds to be a Garrett M24

I had a different turbo with my pl kit originally a 2860

 

[rknight111]

The GARRET 2863 GTX spools up real fast. It has made an incredible difference in performance to the sled.

 

[Turblue]

Doesn't the 2860rs have m-24 on the compressor housing? All the pictures I could find of a 2680 had it. I didn't think powderlites used any other turbo for there kits besides a 2860 Rs. Not completely sure though.

 

[rknight111]

You are correct. to double check there typically is a small tag ( identification name plate ) on the body of the turbo inlet plate held by 2 clinches. or on the cartridge

Yours most likely is a Garrett 2860 RS. That's what PL used. You would be amazed if you upgraded the cartridge to the 2863 GTX it's easy.

Yeah mine is blank on that rectangular spot...no tag....prob 2860...., thanks for the info....

What are the A/R ratio's for the turbine and compressor housings?

 

[Clode]

Garrett 2860R
Compressor A/R is .60 Turbine A/R is .64

Garrett GTX2863R
Compressor A/R is .60 Turbine A/R is .86

thanks for the info....just need to change my turbo now....everthing else is boost-it !!!
