You can ship it back in one piece, the Korean war was over 25 years ago however I think Mr Tracy might want it for himself so you might have him tell you it isn’t legal.

You can thank Mercedes Benz for this. They were the ones whom when they finally decided to sell in the US didn’t want to compete with existing importers.
“This whole thing seems like an incredibly frustrating waste of taxpayer dollars.”
That scum dealer claiming his 1993 Supra is legal, but just can;t be registered until next year is just lying.
This is the free market* at work.
The comedy of it all is claiming that the 25-year exemption for emissions and safety regulations is to keep unsafe, “dirty” cars out.
Container full of guns and cocaine. Umm as long as you don’t sell to minors.
I should probably begin writing a sort of The Godfather/Yakuza screenplay about this.
When you need to account for the Coriolis effect you know it’s a long shot.
That is exactly it!!! They won’t let me drink on my work hours so no work on drink hours!
You are wrong. Turbos work by extracting energy from the exhaust gas and using that energy to compress the inlet air. The amount of energy the exhaust gas has is affected by velocity, heat, pressure (PV=nRT if you remember your high school chemistry) . As the exhaust gas expands within the turbine, heat energy of…
Automotive engineer here: Your assumption is correct. A turbo takes energy out of the exhaust, and heat is energy. The higher the temp, the easier it is to extract that energy. A lot of people mistakenly believe that turbines only care about mass flow, but that is only the kinetic energy part of that equation. …
If you drop the temp of the exhaust gasses pre-turbine, you reduce either the pressure or the volume. You want high volume at high-flow at high pressure pre-turbine to impart the most force to the exhaust turbine. This is the main reason people ceramic coat their turbo headers or wrap them with exhaust wrap.
They operate on pressure differential man. Reduce the temperature and pre-turbine pressure goes down. You can only reduce the pressure post-turbine to atmospheric levels, so that pre-turbine temp matters a lot. At a given mass flow rate you want the EGT to be a high as possible without damaging components.
Yet another way F&F predicted the future
this is taken into account when they design the cooling system (larger intakes for air flow, larger radiator and/or reservoir). Just a reassessment of the thermal dynamics of the overall system and designing it to compensate for increased temperature.
Yup, they look at it as they’re dedicated and super valuable. I feel like I’m dedicated and I put a ton of effort in when im there. But when I’m not at work I’m not thinking about it.
In an unpressurized WW2 cargo plane mountains over 10k feet are a real obstacle.
Hey, we’ve got this crazy bastard too!
I WILL get her wet.
