thanks very much for all the info chaps!
The Legalis R and Black top beams are looking like a great way to go.... I've been looking at the possibility of throttle bodies too, probably from a large capacity bike. Have there been any successful throttle body builds? Doesn't seem to be very common, obviously because of the ease of bolting in a GTE.

The link that Nic sent me to exhaust pictures....
The car at the top of page 6.... could someone please tell me if they are O.Z superleg's? and what size if possible?
It won't let me post the link to the picture because I'm a new member

The white wheels on the red MR2? They look like 18" Work Emotion CR Kai/Ultimate.
Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best exhaust for bhp gains?
Perfect, thanks Nic!
And one more thing chaps, along the exhaust lines again.... I've looked and looked and can't find a legalis R anywhere, so I'm toying with the idea of going to EMP exhausts as they seem to get good reviews on here and are very reasonably priced....
So my last question (maybe) is, does anyone else have any reviews of the company or their exhausts?
And if I do decide to go for it.... What are the favoured pipe dimensions performance wise?
Thanks again!

The Fujitsubo exhaust uses 60.5mm diameter piping with 90mm tail pipes.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best exhaust for bhp gains?
Im sorry to tell you this JkRacing but trying to get tuning advice on the NA engines from this forum is like trying to extract blood from a stone.
I would say about 80 to 90 percent of people on this forum run the 3S-GTE and people who had the 3S-GE who wanted more power were pushed down the turbo or V6 route.
This being said, you will find it quite dificult to find any information on the 3S-GE's tolerences due to the simple option of being able to drop a more powerful engine straight in.
I have managed to install a Toyosports Exhaust system (4-1 branch manifold) on my NA and i have some piper cams with a 285 profile yet to be fitted. I will also be purchasing an uprated fuel pressure regulator if it needs it, if you want you can PM and share the results we are getting as we go along with the builds.
I don't know about you but it does my head in when people say, just drop a turbo lump in, its not an answer to the question i asked lol, i know im being an idiot, leave me to be an idiot
I just think to myself, the Honda Vtecs don't do badly for them selves and they are lovely to drive, maybe i don't want a turbo

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best exhaust for bhp gains?
But you don't have a vtec engine, so it's not a comparison.
People are only offering info from experience and modding the N/A for mega power is hard and expensive. You're talking race engine expensive. A bit of head work and an exhaust and filter are only going to add minimal gains.
After that where can you go without having very deep pockets??

People on this forum are actually quite useful and thus, if you're being an idiot, will try and stop you from being an idiot. I nearly went down the 'NA all the way!' route until I tried a tubby. Then I laughed at myself and dropped a turbo lump in. it cost very little money, bit more on insurance, sure, but oh god the gains!

I highly doubt the increase for a 20 year olds insurance to drop a turbo lump in will just be a "bit" BUT majority of people here are older than me and have had much more experience than me with 2's and cars in general so when the day comes you guys can turn round and say "Told you so..."
I'll make sure your the first person that can say to me Tsia. Deal?
Re: [Mk2] [NA] Best exhaust for bhp gains?
If you want awesome gains n/a.
Fit a Honda K20A engine.

Deal. Also, I'm 21 and it didn't increase it by a great deal. Call insurers first, it's not that bad. I considered it "part of the conversion cost".

Thanks mate, that would be very helpful.
I'm completely aware that the n/a route is a stupid one, but there's something very appealing about a screaming n/a car.... But obviously the main reason for me is wanting to take it racing.
I'm hoping that I can keep costs down to a semi sensible level as I can do any work that's required myself.... I'm just going to play around with options and see how it goes I think.
I fully expect I'll end up buying a turbo as a road car once this one is underway a bit.
