New corvette z06 has it based on throttle position, its vacuum operated.
It would be cool(er) to have it opened by boost pressure, with a VSV to turn it on and off. so when its on its only open under boost, and when off it never opens.
I want to duct my whole front end to the radiator and ic using cardboard soaked/coated in fiberglass resin, i want to use cardboard because its extremely easy to work with and after bieng soaked in resin will be nice and strong.
After soaked/coated it will be sealed and can be painted. could...
Well would you look at that, i didnt bother looking up oposed engines becuase i was thinking of flat engines like the subaru engines.
Pretty cool though.
Just came across a video on youtube.

I was wondering if anyone has any information on this engine, how it has 12 pistons in 6 cylinders.
Tried Searching but couldnt find anything.
well area under the curve in a drag race isnt that important as long as the gear changes stay within the powerband.
a typical gear change wont take you from 6500 to 2500rpm, so a flat 500ftlb torque curve isnt really necessary to have the fastest/quickest car.
In a drag race you want as...
are they running stretched tires to fit the tire? or to fit the rim? i dont understand because people are running the same tires on narrower wheels without stretching and fitting fine.
case in point ARob's friend with the 240sx, 215's on a 9.5 inch wheel. Those 215's would fit on a 6-7 inch...
6 to 140 pulls is quite the leap in durability.
I dont understand how they say the exhaust housing is the foundation of the turbo though. i would think the center section is the foundation being its what contains all the moving parts.
Ive herd good things about the megans and i plan on getting them when the time comes.
Camber plates dont exist for the MK3 because they have double wishbone suspension, the coilover only holds the vehicle up, it plays no part in suspension geometry.
Werd, theres no practical or theoretically positive reason you would do this besides "JDM tyte-ness"
A Little stretch i could see maybe helping agility because sidewall flex could be reduced but either way its a waste of money to buy a 10 inch wide wheel to run stock size tires.
