Sure is a fact. Less temp going into the engine means lower combustion temp. Less heat going into the pistons and cooling system. Why else would everybody be so concerned about EGT if it wasnt a benefit to engine longevity?

Anything you add either over the snorkel or over the air filter just decreases its flow even further. Turn the head around, and you have lost the benefit to some positive flow at higher vehicle speeds. Any water drains must be blocked when the snorkel is installed, or they are simply water...

Snorkels are great at one thing. Stopping water ingestion. Down side is: Your air filter will become dirtier much faster, requiring either more cleaning or replacement more often. Believe it or not, but where the air is taken from factory is unbelievably good at preventing most of the crap...

You will see around 130deg on boost for most factory setups. The further out of the efficiency zone of the turbo you get and the higher the boost is, the hotter the air gets. When I get the chance next I will log before and after temps with a waterspray on a tmic. Some of the biggest...

On most cars the ac will sap about 6-8kw out of it when its running at cruise. On full throttle closer to 10kw if it stays active. On alot of diesels it does stay active regardless of load and only turns off based on water temp. On a petrol it is almost always off past 50-60% throttle opening...

The question to ask is. How much is the Navara going to cost me over 200-300K km's? When almost the whole car is going to have to be replaced around you one piece at a time over the years. On most early cars parts can be rebuild very cheaply such as injectors and pump. With all late model...

Montana, im not sure bare metal is appropriate. + Taking the paint back just opens it up to the potential for rust to start with. Instructions for all Erps/couplertec systems specifically state it must be a painted surface to prevent the pads shorting out to earth.

Thats dead wrong. Yes it helps prevent det on petrol engines. It cools the intake charge temp. Drops EGT by a large amount when setup correctly. Expands when it changes state helping cylinder pressure Cleans the engine's internals When used 50/50 with Methanol, also adds more oxygen and fuel...

Adjust the wastegate to give it more pretension on the swing valve and see how that goes. If its not being held shut properly even with a manual bleed valve it will never make boost properly. Also, what size is the turbo?

To turn water into steam, it takes alot of heat. If you introduce a fine mist of water into the engine, that water sucks all the heat out of the air stream. Once the temp is high enough to turn it into steam (which is very high as the water is under considerable pressure during combustion) It...

Wow very interested to hear how this has happened. What the mods list of the vehicle?

Just take the top mount out and run the front mount. Two intercooler cause alot of flow restriction. Any extra cooling is negated by this to the point of being worse than one half good intercooler.

Go getter arent you!. Like I say, if you dont ask, you dont get it. Unfortunately we arent battling about chips at all. I hold chipit chips in the highest regard. There is no competition between either company with chip sales. He sells his fantastic product that they have developed and I sell...

The problem is not just the height of the springs. Yes it is ideal to have the car sitting flat for best handling and safety. But, what about the shock valving? It makes a huge difference hanging 55+kg past what used to be the most forward position of the car. As for the bonnet flying up, well...
