the sensor through the passenger wheel arch is the reverse gear sensor.
Its easy to install, just push the tabs on the old one, pull out, and slot new one in. Its on the diff housing if you need to find it.
my setup only cost me about £150 and its a darn sight easier than straining in the car, whilst mapping and trying to hear something that i feel is basically impossible with bodies screaming away and exhaust noise, and mechanical engine noise.
Maybe its my ears, but with all that noise i just...
Yes, its varies with block material, cylinder thickness, block design, height, density.
Which is why the sensor is set over a range, not a single.........it just stops you having to listen to valve train rattle, piston rattle, oil pumps, induction frequency etc.
'The ear' is what i was...
i think he just took a 2d slice of the full load fuel map rather than looking at the whole 3d map.
And the 2 deg r****d system is what msot people will do if they cant actually measure anything. BUT............the real issue is what the hell do they know knock sounds like. Most det cans are...
lol, no worries stan, we knew what you meant, just continuing discussion as its more interesting than wheel bearings.
On another note mark, 28.deg is very little advance and not something to really worry about.
mark, an ignition map should plateu once you have reached peak timing, which is usually midway on in the rpm range.
ignition timing is purely there to start the burn before TDC simply for the fact that it takes a period of time for the whole chamber burn wholistically and release peak...
reliability is fine and normal, stock pump is fine for stock rpm range, otherwise you have to adapt the k20a pump and block off a few holes.
They are great in hybrid form with the k20a head and 2.4 bottom end.
Some steel parts and you can rev them higher than you'd believe (10k+) and...
You can see where its going, but using valve area/bhp is a measure of engine efficiency not vehicle performance.......stick the same ratio into 1 500kg car and a 1000kg car and the performance will be suitably different.
The issue with torque is that it is a pure measurement of power or force, for example, if you were to hold a car from moving whilst he was applying full throttle (silly and impossible, but for arguments sake), and the wheels didnt move (nor did the engine technically), it would still be applying...
