If we're talking about ambient temperature affecting the engine itself, remember during normal driving the engine temperature is regulated at 80c-90c via water cooling, this is the most optimum operating temperature for the engine.

Therefore,ambient temperature will have little to no effect on the engine itself.

Engine oil temperature is different and is indicative of the engine's internal temperature, nothing to do with ambient temperature.

The gaga's intake is designed to suck in whatever air in front of it. It is definitely not a cold air intake.

But then, does the insulation/wrap cool the air down in the intake funnel/airbox?

Like I was asking, isn't the air passing the intake system too fast to be affected by the temperature of the materials?

There is also the question of where is the ambient temp sensor located.

Yep, I think this would be much more effective than insulating the intake system.

Feel difference in the butt only... ha ha ha.

Have you ever thought of why HONEYCOMB shape was invented on washing machine tub surface, fridge insulation layer, aircon filter/vent(including GaGa's aircon vent)? Have you ever thought of why SNOWFLAKE structured in hexagonal pattern?





They're not related at all it seems, but there's a speculation of such hexagonal shape best fit with colder molecule. Am wondering if we can have a fibre formed honeycomb structure act as an agent to reshape intake air would helped But ofcourse, if we wanted the other way round would be using aluminium and or any other metal base materal to form the honeycomb shape it would become even hotter

I rather spend my 10k on that mivek sumore i get mitsu engineering than some reputable local mechanic engineering.hehehe

Cooler air has a higher density, thus containing more oxygen per volume unit than warmer air(from WIKI). If the intake air is already HOT, given enough time to chill the air, the density wouldn't increase because that's the amount of air taken into the intake funnel So, basically you nailed it Heat wrapping doesn't change the combustion, but actual air intake temperature before the intake funnel does. In other word, make the atmosphere cold before you drive out, or plonk NOS To answer on behalf of cikgu CLASS OF tigabelas, water coolant is meant for cooling the engine down, has nothing to do with intake temperature. Older vehicle has a intake design of directing a funnel to exhaust manifold to suck hot air in the winter, whereas another intake funnel pointed between headlamp and radiator for cooler air intake during the summer On a general consensus, cooler the better but NOT freezing cold.

Have answered Quazacolt with honeycomb philosophy, not sure whether that will help. The trouble is, honeycomb structure will create more air restriction.

Oh... I tot u say kampro after modified can compete MIVEK geh

frm my car observe stock airbox - idling during traffic highest it goes is 69c lowest also ard 60-65c, while driving highest ard 60-62c lowest can get ard 52-55c.

Open Pod (my setup - without custom heatshield) - idling can go as high as 80c, lowest also ard 75c, while driving highest ard 65-70c lowest ard 58-60c.

Open Pod (my setup - with custom heatshield) - idling highest 70-75c, lowest 60-65c, while driving highest 60-65c, lowest ard 45-50c

Open Pod (my setup - with custom heatshield + CAI) - idling highest 70-75c, lowest 60-65c, while driving highest 50-55c, lowest 38-40c

Thts all base on the OBD readings...

TQ

P/S : will plonk back stock airbox and will try to do sumthing on it... dunno can be done or not...

Open Pod (my setup - with custom heatshield + CAI) , I think no matter how Idling still be highest don't have wind blow inside . Do what in stock airbox

trying sumthing idiot...

something idiot but still works

hope so...

Yup... just to bluff peiple..... cvt is cvt... cannot transform into auto....

If still under warranty and serviced at pentan SC, then better to use FS and 10k servicing. Save on the service charge and they wouldnt void your warranty.

if outside under the pokok megichian, Mineral is 5k km... semi 7.5k, FS 10k km... this is my practice lor.

If use Jtx magic oil, compulsary to add this as well..


Attached thumbnail(s)

for inspira, should before the radiator around the chassis beam after front bumper

no idea bro, maybe can consider paper or something that's still decently easy to shape into your desired (honeycomb) shape.

Compete ony right? Not win kan..but i read neo with sprintex supercharge can get podium place in 1.8 category where the majority is 4g93 and 92..but that sprintex plus minus setting one sure kautim above 15k right..

Wa kena tag pulak

Baru balik from movie terus 100+ posts

at least we spam better than it just die off, at least we know the members are still alive and well

Gaga in terms of ecu nothing much we can tune since it is that restricted, if want to custom put an ecu better save money buy new car

Apa lagi? Handling lor, bars lo, engine lo, intake lo.. simple diy and pictures of cars at least keep the thread going.

You guys still remember the LYN gaga club stickers?

I contacted two guys from LYN, not even one nak kasi one sample, say bz la ini laaa.

anyone knew custom made sticker guys tak
