    Trying to understand ambient temperature effect on IAT and the resulting power loss

    I think this is a tech enough question, but if not, I apologize. I live in Central TX, where 100F+ days in the summer are common. The first year I lived here we actually had 100 days over 100 degrees. I understand that at 100 degrees IAT, the computer will begin pulling timing (I'm assuming...

    Saleen ultimate air intake question.

    Picture isn't working for me. Not sure about the 06, but in my 10, the box around the air filter keeps the hot engine air from being drawn into the intake

    To pull or not to pull, that is the question

    Chiming in as another "keep the power steering" voice. I loved having non power steering in my 85 MR2, but that thing weighed ~2400 lbs and the tires were nowhere near as wide. I would think that an S197 would make you feel like you're constantly fighting the wheel

    Compressed Air Supercharging

    I was thinking about the ability to make multiple passes in one day...you'd need several tanks do do it if you could get a system to deliver the compressed air reliably in the fashion that you desire. Compressing air into tanks heats the air up just like compressing air with a supercharger into...

    Compressed Air Supercharging

    how many cubic feet of air do the tanks hold? The part I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is the volume of air that you would need to be able to supply at pressure in order for this to work. If an N/A 5.0 Mustang already inhales ~900 CFM at atmospheric pressure, you're going to have...

    Compressed Air Supercharging

    Would the weight be offset by the charge? You'd need a pretty big tank to store enough compressed air to supply a V8 engine for 1/4 mile. At stock, you're talking about 900ish CFM already, right? An air compressor generally delivers high single digit CFM at a high pressure. A 60 gallon 2 hp...

    Shitty Texas fuel!

    without getting into the specific efficiency of the particular equipment in question, there would be as many steps either way, no? Harvest the crop yield, transport it to a facility to turn it into alcohol, distil your alcohol, transport ot a fuel station, put it in your car, burn it. Also...

    Time to charge the AC

    The big thing about recharging an A/C is that you need to figure out why it isn't charged in the first place. If there is a leak and air got inside the system, you now have air (a compressible gas that isn't refrigerant, and thus will not transfer heat the way refrigerant does due to the fact...

    So why don't 10in wide square setups work?

    ET is the abbreviation for einpresstiefe, which is German for offset
