Post The Best Pictures of Your Mazda

Ahhh, teg, now I see it.

Bugs the hell outta me how the hot pipe is bigger than the cold pipe though. lol.

I'm pretty sure Honda B/D series engines have intakes opposite to those of the Protege FSDE so it's likely the setup is correct.
 
I wasn't saying it was wrong, it just bothers me, I like balance in everything so when some pipe is bigger then other, it naturally just bothers me, whether it performs better that way or not.
 
Kind of like those GIANT wings on track cars, even though they have purpose and function, they kinda bother me too lol.

(screwy) lol You have mild OCD it sounds like...

+1, IM is on the left.

the turbolife kit is the same way.
 
I'm too lazy for all that. haha. Actually, in my sig pic, there is a grip of mud in my fender wells but the post editing hid that. hahaha.
 
I hate to keep threadjacking but there is a reason the hotpipe is designed to be smaller in diameter than the cold pipe. Both my old setups (MAM and turbolife) were designed that way.

PV=nRT... Pressure * volume = (constant) number of air molecules * Temp

to keep P the same, (R of course stays the same) when T drops, V has to drop to match it.

basically it is done that way to try to reduce boost drop due to the cooling of the IC. the air on the cold side is more dense, so it takes up less space. you need a smaller pipe to maintain the same velocity. you want to maintain the same velocity to maintain the same pressure.

/physics lesson.
