UGH why don't PNGs work?

Volvo is still known to some as an entry level luxury brand that sells "executive compacts" but I just don't see it. They sold some truly luxury cars in the '60s but when they started selling cars like the 240, I think luxury went out the window. Now when I hear volvo, I just think a car with a body like a tank and a…

I assume these "black boxes" aren't separate boxes. I bet the "black box" is actually just a data logger in your ecu.

Damn, that one was pretty good.

The turbo on my mazdaspeed3 also runs at 100000+ rpm and it's not loud. Turbos just go that fast, it's how they work. None the less, I don't doubt that the F1 cars of 2014 will sound awesome. Retardedly high horsepower, high revving 1.6L V6 turbo with barely any exhaust to speak of? Sounds like a recipe for an eargasm.

I would say it depends on the car. Turbo cars have a lot more potential to make gains from removing airflow restrictions in the intake and exhaust. Also, most factory intakes are designed for noise reduction.

You are exactly right. Modern turbo engines can make horsepower and torque in weird places. Here is the dyno for a stock mazdaspeed3. Wheel horsepower drops 130whp after 5500 rpm.

because truck frame.

Umm... What about the Mazdaspeed3? 260 horsepower. Wagon.

I would love to watch the race at a good bar with some friends, but I presume there will be some pigskin related sport that gets all the big screen attention.

I don't know of any cars that come with a factory PCV catch can. My mazdaspeed3 dumps it right back into the intake. Right before the turbo, I might add.

My brother used to work for Tire Factory and he was responsible for the fleet accounts at his store. They did a lot of semi truck tires which are pressurized to 120psi. The shop required them to fill the tires with air inside of a cage built from 2" diameter steel piping. I stopped by the shop one day and the cage was…

It's also not a mazdaspeed3, VW GTI, BRZ/FR-S or any other manner of car that you can get in the price range that gets marginally worse gas mileage but delivers an astonomically superior driving experience. It's a car for people who drive because they must. It's an expense required by our modern society. For those…
