You only need to get stuck in LDP for 1.5 hours. The end result is, some 300 post gone, new thread begun and already in 3rd page after 60+ posts Can you guys put up some healthy debate or anything that is related to the car itself? Inspaliah thread is fast that we all know the beginning of 50 threads are all resentment and slanting about lack of identity and soulless character of a lancer Inspira. Nevertheless, Inspaliah thread got master in ECU decode, managed to hack it up and enable multiple functions, whereas we GaGa still suffering from trying to find out which ECU firmware we're up to?

Frankly, it's kinda frustrated to me. I still maintain the love of the car, but posting technical stuff has been a burden if we're talking about GaGa. I mean I enjoy making technical posts in Shawie thread more than GaGa anytime. I don't know about others, but I think GaGa thread will lose steam from now on. Seeing this spam for the sake of getting a new thread up activity really makes me think this is the end.

So, let's get ready some 10k. I'll use that money to plonk MIVEK into my car and I'll leave that MIVEK stock, u use that 10k to mod your Kampro to whatever reasonable and roadworthy. In the end we bring the 2 out for a track event to see who takes the trophy ok

DYNO proven, SAT was nothing but a transform button. Once you pressed, the low life creature called GaGa suddenly transformed into RUBBISH.

Heat wrapping is the ONLY economical way to improve intake temperature. Your entire statement is KOREK, if the air temperature being settled in the first place, we don't even need whatever intake ram, the trouble is in the hot afternoon, road temperature is standing at 80~85'C. Hot air from surface to 4ft above are around 60'C mixing with exhaust heat blown by. So your car literally breathing atleast 50'C and above in the afternoon. Having heat wrapped the intake funnel/airbox is not a bad idea. But everything is double edged sword. It makes hell lot of difference when you're DRIVING in the afternoon with the heat wrapping, but it TRAP heat in a standstill traffic So yes, if you use the OBD to check on litre consumed per hour, heat wrapped intake would consume even more petrol in a standstill traffic just to make the engine stay alive.

Mineral oil for 15000

I'm not fuckin with ya. Ask any of those CVT owner whose went for dyno, they use all 3 modes from D/L and SAT. D works perfect on all region. L brings the torque in earlier, but after certain speed it switched back to D(internally without us knowing it other than observed from dyno chart). That however, the SAT engaged makes the entire torque curve dropped to drain. Seriously a piece of garbage in the inventory of GaGa CVT, for the sake of old unkers who refuse to give up old type 4AT dinosaur shift shock(gear change) feeling

I invest less than 100 every oil change, so that very reputable API SQ grade oil is out of the picture regardless. Too advanced for my GaGa

No idea, unless pay me enough to dismantle your car

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

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

Depending on what you're competing against bro The amount of money 1 spend on Kampro doesn't reflect on the gains regardless

Point taken, so I shall go open up my GaGa akon vent and cut the honeycomb off

More like insulting car manufacturer on their design Stock design is at balanced optimal in all region. When you heat wrap it, at the same time you trap more heat on a standstill, just like oven baking dori fish



There's also another saying of wrapping the exhaust piap, which again it's very little relation with intake temperature. More like prevent exhaust heat killing the surrounding electronics and plastik material stuff(including our well known valve cover leaks)



But again, it's another insult to car manufacturer. Don't they already know that damn sotong is hot enough to melt an ice burg? Cost wise, not efficient with tedious work required, time consuming. Worst it gets, the manifold inner core heat will be trapped! The metal surface that covered will not be able to dissipate heat at all. Imagine this, everytime raining you'll be worrying will your manifold crack, will you still be able to enjoy the car? Hence stock header always came with a simple piece of aluminium cover that act as heat transfer agent, and shield the manifold from rain water direct hit

Better not open it after awhile





The dad gum thing is like made of tofu

Yiu oso wangto bai VIOS ar?

So it does help/reduce air flow depending on the comb size vs velocity Am interested to do some research on this now

Bulk VIOS
