QUOTE(ethan99 @ Jan 25 2012, 12:51 AM) CFE need more pressure from fuel pump... Since proton always failure on fuel pump from waja till CPS engine... Hopefully, CFE will improve on this basic thing. Normally fuel pump will degrade slowly but what I have research waja or CPS engine in persona or any body always fail and causing towing the car... Since the fuel pump will not work suddenly... Maybe CFE need some thing like => WALBRO High PRessure Fuel Pump ?  mat79, Why do the CFE Bold model doesn't comes with the turbo timer? or do it really need one?

I'm going to book the exora bold soon and also going to change a few things when i get the mpv. I want your guys opinion and constructive feedback below:
1. Guangdao VS + grounding
2. Change GT Radial to Falken/Yokohama tire
3. Turbo timer
4. Possible to advise SA not to tint which I want to find other reputable tint shop
Appreciate your guys feedback. thx

QUOTE(stormlcc @ Jan 31 2012, 06:34 PM) my saga blm also has the same thing, fan running to cool the radiator. it's not the same as a turbo timer because a turbo timer keeps the engine running to use the engine lubricant to cool the turbo do you think it would be good to have one turbo timer for bold? |

I get it, water cool turbo is to cool down the exhaust side of the turbo turbine and oil from the engine is to lubricate the bearing in the turbo. Make sense. It is also recommended cool down period of 10-15min if you are driving your MPV hard. The fan that was heard when the engine cut-off is the water cool still running because the exhaust side of the turbine is hot. But this does not explain the lubrication which go thru the turbo bearing will flow when engine is totally cut-off. So that's when the cool down period comes into picture. In other words they work both hand in hand. So it is better to change oil/filter regulary or at least recommended by SC. Synthetic oil recommended. That's my theory This post has been edited by akchang: Feb 1 2012, 11:17 PM |

QUOTE(rcracer @ Feb 1 2012, 11:31 PM) both water and oil are used to cool the bearings, not the casing or blades, or turbine or compressor the water is there so once the oil is cut off, the heat will not cook the engine oil remaining in the bearings. those without water cooling need to have the timer to prevent this because once stopped the heat has no where to go hence cooking the engine oil but with water this doesnt happen and hence no timer is installed ahh thx for the correction! learn alot bout turbo this week alone. |
