I am having difficulty pronouncing the L-D-N-T-V consonant cluster, especially since there is no vowel at the end (silent E). Y’all’dn’t’ve any advice or audio samples would you?
@LynnCrumbling - I was under the impression GM pretty much exclusively used a blend door, but the "hot water valve" concept is actual. I know Ford uses them in at least some of their models. GM could be using them as well.
I'll be on a bit tonight. I just got four articles to write on the Acura TL. Easy stuff like changing the air filter and oil. But changing the timing belt can take a few more words, lol.
So why are intercoolers used?
Running the air through a supercharger is going to make it hot and detonation-prone. The primary benefit of an intercooler is that it reduces the temperature of the boosted intake air. This helps keep detonation in check.
The extra density is an added bonus because...
@Zaid - Something you didn't mention (at least I didn't see it) is to make the engine with a longer stroke and longer rod length. This increases dwell time of the piston and staves off detonation as well.
Ah, ok.. Was guessing based on the name.. lol So, the fast piston is ok, it's when it comes closer to TDC on the compression stroke that the lower speed help eliminate detonation... is that right? very cool
Detroit had their "71 Series" motors, which each cylinder displaced 71 cubic inches per cylinder. They had 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 cyl models (could have been larger ... may have had a 14 in there as well). The larger the engine, the larger the blower.
Comes from the days when beds had rope supports under them. Sleep tight meant to keep the ropes tight.. And bed bugs were a real problem because the "matress" was filled with straw / hay.. lol
I was working on my RX-7 in the 80's, something to do with undercoat that had to come off for something, so I scrubbed, brushed, everything I could think of to get that crap out from under my nails.. Failed miserably. Felt aweful for days
Anyway, time for me to go join 150,000 of my closest friends as we slog up the local 6 lane parking lot.. lol
@cdunn - On my wedding day I was putting an engine in my car. When we got through working on it, I couldn't get my hands clean. My wife to be (at the time) went down to the salon to get her hair done. I went down to see if they could help me with my hands. They applied a bleach mixture which took all the dirt off (or made it not so dirty), but also made all the hair on my hands blond as well as you could see a tan line to where they applied it ... I don't know which was worse, lol!
You know I'm a cat guy, right? I love my dog, but if I had to run into a burning building and could only save one?? Probably the cat. On the other hand, the cat is probably smart enough it'd leave ... the dog would just lay in there and burn.
@DucatiKiller - I had a dog like that once. Was a Samoyed/Sheppard mix ... absolutely the best dog I've ever owned. Raised it from a puppy when it would fit in my jump boot (Army stuff). Got to be about 120lbs full grown. Absolutely a great animal ... dumb as a box of rocks, though.
I had him chained to the hitch on my 68 Chevelle (when it wasn't running). He was pleasantly sleeping behind the car in the evening hours. A cop was patrolling behind the houses and came around to find a dog lunging straight at him. Cop was back pedalling like nobody's business reaching for his gun and basically getting freaked out.
I had a pair of really expensive forks on my garage shelf. Ohlins. Anytime someone would try and touch them I would yell, "no". Nobody got to touch them. One day one of the guys goes and picks them up and my rotty runs up and corners them growling until they put them back.
I went outside to all the noise. The cop came around the front of the house, slightly out of breath. I asked him what was going on and he told me. My dog came right up to the cop and loved on him ... no hard feelings, lol.
Since my wife has found out, after we got a dog and two cats, she's allergic to them ... I doubt we'll have any more animals which a cop might be tempted to shoot.
@DucatiKiller - I guess this episode was back in 1988 when everyone had a little more sense about them. People weren't out to hurt cops on purpose. It was also in Georgia, so things are a little less tense than they are in the big cities. Whole different world than the concrete jungle.
I hate to say it, but if these are customers, there must be some type of requirement for how much time you'll spend on the project until it gets to the point where you'll start charging them more money (running out of billable hours). You may want to remind them of that ... unless you are all part of one happy family.
