SOLD - Superjet - Riva Racing Dry Pipe (Factory Type 4)
- Thread starter Mobile Chernobyl
- Start date
I don't know who actually manufactures any of them, but I do know there is a speedwerx pipe that is a different pipe.
I'm pretty sure factory pipe manufacturers their own pipes, and sometimes manufacturers other companies pipes, seems more likely that the speedwerx pipe would be manufactured by factory pipe, but I don't know if they were.

id be curious to see how it would run with running it wet like the pfp and rrp pipes

This pipe was contract manufactured by Factory Pipe for Riva Racing back in the day (from all the articles I have read). It was very similar to the Factory type 4 dry pipe - some even claim it was the same thing?
It does pretty well on fuel with my dual 38s!
@fastgtfairlane I was very close to not listing it so I could try that experiment! I wanted to shave off the water jacket then weld new mounts on for it as a wet pipe. The head pipe manifold has a 1/8" NPT threaded inlet specifically setup to use the spray bar water injection (still sold by Watcon) so you could use that to meter in water to make it a wet pipe pretty easily! It would probably be a bad ass pipe up there with a PFP if done right - the manifold outlet diameter is YUUUGGGE.

Not with ecwi as it would only spray while the engine is running. Just adding a spray bar would drain water into the engine youre right but the solenoid with ecwi should block water flow until it is energized
Wouldn't it be exactly the same as a pfp/tnt/rrp laydown pipe? Actuatlly probably a little better because the manifold faces backward?
They are slightly angled downward from the exhaust ports.
They angle slightly upward from left to right, and also skis pretty much always sit a little bit higher in the nose, so I would say there is just as much pipe draining into the manifold, if anything the type 4 would have an advantage that the manifold faces backwards which is going to be generally downward, and at least has the upward loop so it would be much harder for water to back flow from the waterbox into the pipe.
And all of the laydown pipes, when run wet, are cooled by a spray bar, I'm not seeing what the difference is.

Sounds like someone needs to buy this pipe and experiment! The inner pipe is solid - just the hairline cracking on the water jacket which can be shaved off!
I would be if I hadn't already bought one lol.

I definitely want to buy the pipe but it's not something I need right now Haha
I wish I was smart enough to use logic like this.
Works very well, I have run it like this without ECWI and just a jet to control flow.
TNT pipe and RRP pipe have no water jackets. They have water injected in the manifold right before the chamber. When you run a PFP wet, you do exactly that and just don't connect anything to the water jackets, exactly like we have been discussing doing with a type 4 in this thread. I see no reason why it wouldn't work the same way with a type 4, and evidently Yamanube has done exactly that.
I've got a TNT and a PFP myself both running wet.

To be clear, I still ran water to my water jacket to allow me to close off the spray bar easily if I wanted to run it dry. Sorry @Mobile Chernobyl for junking up your thread.
Free bumps on a forsale thread is a good thing
