i know running a straight dump from turbo is super loud (my buddy had it on his srt) and i was just curious if anybody ran this on a focus?

 

[focusguy87]

Yes and they lost 15whp

I think ZX3 2NV did, not sure if that is who you are talking about focus guy?

 

[ZX3_2NV]

I guess you can say I ran a dump I have an electronic cutout which lets me switch between full magnaflow exhaust and the 3" dump. I wouldn't suggest you run a dump all the time on the streets its pretty loud. Ohh and I hope your boosted because you made a comment saying from the turbo is really loud If your running all motor you will actually lose power n/a set ups want to see restrictions of the full exhaust when turbo cars just want toi get the exhaust out as fast as possible so Yes I suggest a dump for turbocharged cars but not daily driven because you will get pulled over and given a hefty ticket

I run a dump on all of mine , There wont be a loss of power if anything you will see a slight gain because a lot of the exh does not have to be pushed all the way out the tail pipe

It comes down to if you want the noise

[ZX3_2NV]

you will lose power on a all motor set up ON ANY CAR if your running a dump or off the header its strickly noise

 

[wordyahurdd]

i meant boosted..i thought when i from turbo people would know it is boosted and not N/A

 

[focusguy87]

I can't remember the dyno I saw or who it was.

It was a focus with a 3" Turbo back exhaust and a 38mm WG.

He ran a straight dump tube from the 38mm WG and lost 15whp.

 

[wordyahurdd]

hmm...well i have internal wastegate so it may be different lol

 

[focusguy87]

Well in that case you shouldn't loose any HP. As Tom and ZX3_2NV stated.

You wont loose any power...I had a electronic dump on my first focus and it sounded loud as hell. I liked it at the track.....And it fun opening it when your cruseing the streets other people are like WTF. Just dont be around any cops for at least a half a mile.lol

 

[polishlanman]

what's a straight dump? (please don't say 'it's what comes out of your ass')

 

[IslandFocus]

It seems that they are talking about 2 different things here. A) an electric cut-out for the exhaust whereas it's almost like a throttle body that allows your exhaust gases to exit at the beginning of the exhaust system for better breathing (at the flip of a switch) and B) an external wastegate dump tube that vents to the air (normally directed to the ground) rather than back into the exhaust system.

 

[cwatson411]

thanks for clearing things up islandfocus

 

[ZX3_2NV]

Now you have me confused Are we talking about exhausts or wastegate dump?

 

[IslandFocus]

Not sure what the OP meant but it seems that both are being discussed here.

 

[jrscteg]

Sounds like the OP is talking about wastegate dump.. and this is the FI section so I have no Idea why ppl brought up N/A.

 

[FuriousFocus]

My question is, does anyone have some pics on a setup for the Focus? You just route the pipe down to the ground from the wastegate and thats it? When I do my turbo, that would be my choice. Some DSM guys I roll with have the open dump and it sounds like a cross between a semi truck, a locomotive, and a hurricane between shifts. Its awesome.
