Turn your Turbo Elbow into a 1/2 divorce Dump tube Lamarossa is back

[LamaRossa]

Been talking, posting, debating about divorce down pipe

fuk it i just went and did it


BIC divorce Dpipe only let waste gate exhuast gas escape when you hit full boost and the actuator open the gate

my dump pipe is open 24 7 to help the spool


start off with JBL high flow turbo elbow

bought 90 deg. and 45 deg. plumbing 1" steel elbow at my fav store Home Depot


1" dubble thread 3" link

8" of 1" steel tube

use 1" whole saw cut a hole in the elbow

trick is to weld the 90 deg. nipple on to elbow

run the nipple and the 45 deg. elbow and i added a 8" tube down the car

*****gain holly shit spool time and turbo whistle is insain

*****sound - eh 500 to 1500 rpm mac truck ish

after is just phat

but if you floor it no truck sound when the rpm rise quickly

total cost under $10

am i happy ????fuckk yeah

recommend to all broke ass mk3 drivers looking for a few ponies gain

are you kidding?

thats not a Divorced dp and the wg isnt dumped... your whole EXHAUST is dumped. you basically created a HUGE leak in your downpipe... your flowing more exhaust than a full Dp and exhaust but less than open DP.

thats why it sounds mack trucky and makes noise all the time; its always dumping.

 

[Milenko]

Yeah dude that's not a divorced downpipe, it's just an elbow with a big f#@$ing hole in it.

 

[ridah]

Wheres the sink that pipe connects to?

I agree it's not a WG dump.

 

[sammydafish]

werd.... lam totaly missed the whole point of that one

 

[Disced]

Yeah dude that's not a divorced downpipe, it's just an elbow with a big f#@$ing hole in it.

^^
That has to be the funniest shit I have read in a while.



Just take off the freaking elbow and run open turbo; I'm sure you will get massive more ponies from that setup!

 

[PIONEER]

you can take that off now, or leave it on there til that Galvanized pipe melts off, In the end the sound will be the same

.....I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. My staff think I'm nuts laughing away in my office here...ohhhhhhohoho. My belly hurts...

Thanks for being Lam!

lol yeah that stupid bic ddp keeps routing exhaust gases through the turbo first and then through the dp. you should go one more step and put an open NA header on there, then all the gases are dumping all the time!!!!

 

[Chris-Supra]

wow... just wow.

 

[SupraMario]

hey now dont be giving lam such a hard time.
we all make mistakes.
i do it all the time

 

[GrimJack]

Well, on the one hand, the folks are right, it's not a divorced downpipe.

On the other hand, Lam did it for spool, not as an exit for the wastegate gasses. This is exactly the same as running an electric cutout - without the electric part.

Lam is a true innovator - many people will disagree with what he does, but you can't be bleeding edge without turning out some seriously odd ideas, at least from the rest of the world's point of view.

 

[flubyux2]

well i wasnt giving hard times... just saying, it didnt quite work out as planned.

it really is a big ass exhaust leak which is reducing backpressure and improving spoolup and performance. i would rather just run open elbow... oh shit, i am already!

you would htink that the exhaust is unbearably loud... its actually more spool/turbine whistle than anything else. you could be 3 cars infront/behind me and youd hear my turbo spooling. it seriusly sounds like a dump truck. if you closed your eyes and didnt see me coming, youd think i was another Rig driving by. its not TOOO bad. i have to be tactful when driving around. drove around all weekend and didnt get pulled over. i even had a copper right next to me. i let him take off first, his windows were up, and i shifted at 2000rpm... so it was JUST like a dump truck.

 

[garrettrowe]

put a train whistle on your drainpipe there and be the next bubrubb

wooootttttt-wooooooootttttt

Or just run an inverse divorced downpipe - run the wastegate to the exhaust, and dump the rest at the elbow. That should run like 4 seconds faster in the 1/4 and smog just like stock.

 

[shailey]

Dude can I buy one?

wait wait wait. this is what he said

BIC divorce Dpipe only let waste gate exhuast gas escape when you hit full boost and the actuator open the gate

my dump pipe is open 24 7 to help the spool

the bic ddp, or any downpipe for that matter, does NOT have any actuators or valves installed on it. it is just a pipe. wastegate gas exits when the wastegate is opened, bypassing the turbine. you can bolt any pipe in the world to it and it won't change the fact that the wastegate opens at full boost and full boost only. Innovative my ass, you know you can spool a lot quicker with no turbo elbow on at all

 

[IJ.]

Why bother with the rest of the system?

Unbolt it at the Cat in you're going to get defected anyway.....

 

[Boostaddctn]

Lol... Hahahahah... Lam= Punk'd...

 

[DrakeMK3]

Lam, no offense buddy, but that might be why you failed emissions....

I always love seeing your latest creations though, even if they are a bit misguided.
