    4agze newb questions...

    1. What size exhaust are most people running on theres?
    Mine is 2.5" with a cat, muffler, and tip and its WAY loud...

    2. How much power do people have?
    My AE101 4agze puts down around 145hp atw with intake, cooler, exhaust.

    3. Does any one ever have problems with belt slippage?
    What sort of belts do people run apart from stock?

    4. Lastly, what sort of power are you making on the street, ie: what cars have you blown off

    Just always been an N/A 4age boy, so im new to all this forced induction stuff.

    My old GZE had 2.5" exhaust, small front mount and microtech, made 122rwkw on 8-9psi. Depends on what muffler you run, I never had a problem with it being too loud.

    belt slip is a big problem that i had on my mates ae92 GZE. in the end i just did the tensioner so bloody tight i thought it was going to snap, but its been like that for 4 years and havent had a problem

    i have a 2.5 inch exhaust with one muffler and it was pretty loud, will be doing something bout it. remember tho, s/c engines have to pump alot of air out the exhaust with nothing to dampen it like a turbo engine. that makes a difference

    2 3/4 i think mine is one muffler and a cannon, had a silencer too but it sucked way too much power so going to be putting a decent muffler on it once its back on the road.... only had one dyno run with a silencer in it and massive vacuum leaks... i made 80kw :unsure: haha..... but haven't ahd the opportunity to go against many imports but will eat any commodore for example gen 3s.... and keep upo with a VX GTO till 140 i think it was..... and i haven't had a problem with belt slip on my car, and its just a normal 5rib belt, but you can get this stuff called belt grip... but it makes your belts very nmoisy

    Im running a 2.25 inch exhaust, with a resanator and a muffler, its pretty loud but I dont mind.

    Running aftermarket ECU, front mount, extractors, standard pully, has been dyno proven to 125rwkw. But every dyno is going to be different.

    I get a little belt slip when its cold, but doesnt last long.

    Have beaten S15's, with pod filters and exhausts. Dead even with a Pulsar GTi-R to 200, exhaust, boost controller, freshly rebuilt. stockish V8 commodores and falcons. worked S14, various rice burners!

    Bassically, it will be quite competitve, and will come down to how you get off the line!

    Not too bad for a little 1.6 with a s/c plugged on the side...

    Seems that belt slippage is pretty bad atm, can you hook up a boost guage anywhere to check?
