supadupagt4 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 When making bhp by adding trurbo/cams and the like, you increase torque also.. but can you just increase torque on it's own??What ways are there to increase the torque low down on a N/A car?tony.

supadupagt4 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 really?? and why?Is it the short runners?Could i just remove the manifold altogether and get one of the ones that some people homemake?tony. Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thinner longer runner gives you more torqueFatter shorter runners gives you more BHPThe short runners intakes (SRI) can be used on N/A but would only give a gain at the top end, there is talk about the short runners been tunned for a much higher RPM than the car can rev to but this doesn't really matter when going FIAlso they don't have runner compensation that the standard manifold has.So to answer the question fitting a SRI would loose you torque low down but you could make your own manni with thinner longer intake runs but then you would loose top end BHPThe easiest and best way would be to find the shcrick manifold, Just to explain a little. They have 2 sets of runners in them. Thin ones for lower revs giving more tougue, then at 4000 rpm a flap inside the mannifold swaps over to wider runners so you still get the BHP top endHope that make sence Tom Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Schrick mani definatly, with mine you can feel the torque start to build just after 3k rpm nearly almost like a low pressure turbo. They make a nice noise aswelThen fit a charger aswel and it's mental Link to post Share on other sites
mk312vVR6 0 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 where can you find this manifold for a good price?? Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 exhausts play their part in all this as well, if you put a big open pipe you loose low end grunt this is a mystic art though ..... and as for picking up a Schrick manni,. Start praying... All those who don't have one are... and not just for the lottery to fund one ... Link to post Share on other sites
rigs 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 BHP = Torque * RPMSo to increase power you either increase RPM or increase torque. More BHP at a particular engine speed requires a proportional increase in torque. Link to post Share on other sites
