    Basic camshaft installation guide

    Thanks for the clarification. While i understand the overlap causes some exhaust to remain inside the combustion chamber, thus reducing the MON ( as drexchan mentioned earlier), is there anyway to improve the exhaust exit speed? if less exhaust gas remain, so the MON is higher, then less prone...

    Basic camshaft installation guide

    i have a question in the write up : "he figures the overlap between the intake valve and exhaust valve opening somewhat decreases the octane in the cylinder making it harder to burn" can the octane number actually change? or is it the Air/Fuel Ratio?

    What does engine torque mean to you?

    Id like to try to contribute. Torque is "work done". it is the Twisting force. while Horse power is (in simple terms) Torque x RPM. Notice how the VW golf 6 TSi has 260Nm of torque but only 160HP, While the Honda civic Type R (FD2R) has "only" 215Nm of torque but 225hp? the higher the torque...

    Re: Hidden Speed Camera by the Road Barricades in Bordeaux - Bayonne Expressway, Fran Hi, just stumbled on this thread by accident as i am normally a lurker. instead of penalizing by car, we should penalize by speed, Maybe 10% above speed limit = RM150, 100% above = Rm3000.00, means the higher...

    evo or subaru..

    I've had the luxury of owning both an evo as well as a subaru, and i've personally feel that A) both cars are just as heavy on fuel, my altis beats them hands down, but these cars are not meant to skimp on fuel, moving on, B) both cars are just as cheap / expensive to maintain. while the...

    About Brakes!

    I'm a lurker in this forum and i hardly reply, but steel braided hoses removes sponginess from braking is not 100% true, old brake fluids or boiling brake fluids from very hard braking also induces such sponginess, and if serious; brake fade. My old combo of Zeal slotted disc + Endless 0-600...

    car gauges...

    i dont think it's accurate. since turbos ru pretty hot in the first place. unless the gauge is a digital one. few tenth of deg difference in tempreture won't be noticeable. FYI exhaust temp gauge measures in hundreds, so a drop in say 20deg wont be noticeable. apparently vaccum meter can...
