to put it simply.........
any petrol heat engine is around 33% efficient. this comes out as actual work....very sh*t TBH.
the rest of the energy is lost to the cooling system and in exhaust gases. the whole point of a turbocharger is to re-use "lost" energy from the exhaust gases, so...
oh no!....chris.....wot, THE chris ("your friend and also ur lover" *dutch accent*!!!)
BOTHERED
i use my garage to do all my work, not my house.
"Im hardly going to do it in the f**king shower am I?"
depends wot flicks ur switch? i mean, the thought of a metre long shaft in ur hands may...
turbochargers actually aid fuel efficiency, but ur more likely to boot the arse off it, thats how u use more fuel. if u spent all day on the motorway at constant boost, it would use less fuel
u were telling me to shut up yesterday cos i was "embarressing myself"?!! WTF??
R19 16v has the same track as a williams, thats why they will be shorter.
ive measured the f**kin wishbones (u know, the sticky outy bits that the wheels are attached to........ the bits that determine the...
the driveshafts are the same length. as are the wishbones. i found this out from putting a valver lump in my RT, using the valver driveshafts and the RT wishbones (which were the same as the valver ones i had, thats why i didnt change them). u wouldnt want to use RT drivshafts cos they are not...
its legal if ur covered on ur insurance.
emmisions would be the only other thing, since levels would be greater (due to greater mass of fuel being burnt), but since it is only used in second bursts, this is negligable
"NOS" is an acronym for "nitrous oxide systems", as roamer said, not N20
u have a reserve "section" in ur fuel tank.
valvers etc have a second (smaller) tank 2 stop starvation when going round corners. similar to a swirl pot idea
so u bought a new cat to put on at mot time, and with the old one u are gonna make a stealth de-cat??
why not just make a simple, albeit non stealth, de-cat??
CR=compression ratio.
do that lot (wot Ben said) correctly (flat out tuning) and u would easily get over 200BHP.
need to consider lightweight valve gear etc to get decent RPM
