Put very very simply.
Ecotek makes a hiss because as Jones said, its air being sucked in. Its not that there is a vacuum inside the inlet manifold, but that there is a lower relative pressure than outside it, and air flows from high to low pressure.
On an NA car there is always 14.7lbs of...
If you can only get it in reverse then it might just be a selector/linkage problem.
And since the clutch is soft, im not sure youve done that properly either.
really cant say though.
argh!!!
i tell people not to get 5.1 and they get it.......i use castrol response super DOT 4, best stuff out there.
But lately i think they have been cheating, the fluid is a clear lavender, but lately its been plain amber......hmmmmm.
DO T 5.1 needs chaning more often than dot...
thats because the valve works on manifold vacuum when your off the throttle.
And ill say it once more.....the engine DOESNT inject fuel when your off the throttle and above 1500rpm.
no.....2 live simply commented that there is no loss of BHP between viper on and with no filter assembly on at all. Fair enough.
I jsut eleborated and said that with no filter on you will loose power with the bonnet temps as induction temps jump by over 100%.
Its a spring loaded plastic valve....thats it......take yours apart and have a look.
the manufacturers could come up with a solenoid controled valve to get round the patent.
In truth, what do the people at magazines really know.
The people who do know anything about cars, especially enough to make money out of them, are NOT sitting writing about them. They are builing them.
ok, i think your getting me muddled up lol.
I know they use it for looks, but im talking from a pure performance point of view.
Larger wheels can loose you performance.
And when i talk about on the limit handling, im not talking about speed. Im talking about the edge which you teeter...
Nope, we dont believe what we read hence why we dont believe that it works.
Ive been over the theory a billion times, and delved quite deep.
The person who wrote that article hasnt got a clue about how and ecotek works, if it works.....and all that babble about swirl and better fuel...
The mechanic most probably pushed the cam seal all the way back in its seat, instead of leaving it flush with the head face and having a space behind the seal.
I was thinking the sensor is damaged aswell.
Could be inappropriate handling or a silicone that isnt O2 sensor safe.
The 10 second search cycle only makes me thing its the lambda even more.
If you have a 15" wheel and tyre, and a 16" wheel and tyre, both using the same tyre and same width, but a different aspect ratio....the 15" tyre will still take less energy to spin.
why?
Orientation of the masses.......simple.
15" tyres also make our sort of cars much easier to deal...
