How big is your exhaust pipe after the downpipe? :idea:

Stock standard right through. Didnt change it as im under the impression exhaust does not do anything on a Turbo Diesel?

Wrong!
The "secret" lies hidden in the exhaust! You need to get the heat away as quickly as any possible!
You need to keep the 76mm downpipe diameter at least for another 90cm to your middle silencer (in with 76mm and out with 63mm which is stock) else you create a "traffic jam" of ultra hot gases right behind and in your turbo!

In connection with your new performance intercooler you will keep these high Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGT) well under control then

Hahahhahha Rolf....

Ok so I have software and Downpipe on my E90 330d. Car makes a decent 200wkw and runs very nicely on the road but my concern is those high EGTs. I know cooler will help this. What can i get (make of cooler) , What would you recommend etc?

+1...

I have Xcede now and my downpipe is getting installed this week. Also looking for a cooler soon...

I'll also be interested in a cooler soon.Maybe a group buy :grin:

OK guys, I received a PM with the question why it is better to run a 76mm pipe from the downpipe than the stock 63mm pipe....

I prefer to answer this in public so everybody benefits from this reply!

Here we go:
Expanding gases draw energy from the ambient environment and cool down.
Best example is a gas bottle which contains compressed gas (in liquid form) and when the gas expands rapidly it cools down the valve so that ice crystals can be seen outside the valve from environmental moisture in the air.

Same applies to exhaust gases!

If you have ultra hot gases expanding but trying to force them into a "funnel" to reduce from 76mm to 63mm you will end up with a heat problem in your turbo.
Theoretically your gases have expanded to max at around 90cm after the turbo in a 330d.
This is where you place your first silencer!

Hope this is clear enough described for everybody to understand the principal!

As for the JHB Tuners, business must be booming. Never understood why one would pay expensive sponsorship fee's to be a part of this community and then not contribute. :fencelook:

A John Cooper Works, we are talking magic! :thumbs:

Dean, what year is your JCW? Is it the actual factory JCW (09 onwards) or is the car a Cooper S with the JCW Kit added later at the dealer?

Power gains will not be massive but the extra Torque will make Sir Alec Issigonis turn in his grave! :joy:

Either way, we can do it. :thumbs:
