TEchnically, wouldnt an INtake hurt the engine?
 

I am just throwing this out there, but isnt it possible for an intake to mess up the A/F mixture and cause damage to the engine?

i always thought the mixture was controlled by the reading off the AFM... so since the AFM detects more airflow the mixture is fixed up so it wont lean out....

but yeh... what happens once the AFM is maxed out?? (hows the protege AFM handle the extra air??)

well if all else fails...Z32 AFM it is hehe

Doesn't matter on the Pros...they run so damn safe & rich anyway!

And thats why they don't get as good gas milage as other 2.0's with the same bhp?

sorta. they are also geared very low to help with torque and acceleration. THATS where the majority of the mileage goes. I'm in 5th gear at 38mph with no problems. That's not typical in my civic I'd have to be in 2n'd to even accelerate. but the honda got 48mph on the interstate cruising at 75mph. (top speed of about 80mph)

Im guessing you mean 48 mpg? Because like.... getting 48mph, while crusing 75 mph, isnt always a good thing...

But yeah I get what you mean, I drove a saab 900 the other day i think it was geared like that or something, because I was shifting at like 2.3K, and when i was getting used to it's clutch it wasnt even coming close to stalling...

Hey Matty did you ever get videos of your WOMPer up?

just the one from the dyno pulls and one from the drag strip. thats old school though. I'll have some more once my new head gets in with the rear engine mount and a little more boost.

Where are they located?

Hmm....yes, videos, please. :stickpoke

pwn3d again...

Bartizek...I could help you but I'm having problems seeing right now with my head planted so firmly in my buttocks


i think they were in the main womp thread that is so long. I'll try to find them tonight at home and maybe email them to you.

That would be a pristine idea...(pristine is a sweet word you know..) might i ask.. why your head is in that area?

LOL Karen make funny!!!
