okay well unless you clarify then how the fuck would i know which metro you're talking about? thats like saying "the land speed ford roadster." theres like a thousand of those. and i haven't been since '02 and i've only seen one metro. excuse me for reading exactly what you wrote.
We were talking about turbos - I was using an example of a turbo car, I apologize for somehow leading you to believe it was a supercharged car.
okay at first you say that supercharging will not make up for shitty flow specs and then you say a f/i motor doesn't have to have as good flowing ports. so which is it? last time i check boost will "mask" poor flowing heads because everything is working under pressure, not vacuum.
Head flow does make a difference. That is what I said. It does not make *AS MUCH* of a perceived difference because it cam be compensated for with boost, to a point.
obviously you need equal flow rates. but why even mention that? did you see something in that pic that made you thing they would flow differently? all those tubes look the same diameter to me. who would make an exhaust with different size primaries?
As I indicated by starting my Statement with "Scott" the item was in regards to a comment he made that I thought I would clarify in my head and see what his input was.
and yes engines "breathe". ever stick you hand over a carb while an engine is running? why do you think people put high flowing intakes and bored out tb's or high flow carbs on motors?
OMG. I fucking quit. Think about what I said, about pressure - not about the physical act of breathing. I am done looking at this fucking thread. And I got laid the other day.
