Re: 50% complete 172RWD!
Lol, yea, just changed the air filter...pmsl.Well at the moment ive got nothing planned on saturday(provided the clio doent break anything lol)
But if you read what i said if they suck there is a restriction. I.E your hand.the roar is the air filling the cylinder. made louder by the valves and ports. Main part of the sound and the change of note at 5krpm is volumetric efficiency being at its peak.
Engines SHOULDNT suck. if they are sucking there is a restriction somewhere in the intake, be it the filter or the manifold etc etc. the way the engine works is it uses atmospheric pressure to fill the cylinder. so if there is a restriction in the intakeits then creatring a higher vacuum...
Mine sounded ok i thought...
Admittedly they do take a while to start sounding good, i.e about a week or 200ish miles.
