[DML] Re: Turbo question (DeLo Intake/Exhaust)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You cannot just compare the intake dimensions with the exhaust
dimensions without taking into account the temperature of the gases
flowing in them. The air going into the motor is somewhere near
ambient while the gases coming out are MUCH hotter having expanded so
you need a MUCH LARGER  pipe to handle the same mass of air. You also
have to consider that all of the cylinders do not fire and exhaust at
the same time, some "scavange" air from others, backpressure, and all
kinds of other factors are at work here. The main point heree is the
exhaust on the Delorean is VERY restrictive. Almost anything you do
would be an improvement.
