Japandrew73's OEM Euro Restore

I don't appreciate your ruse

[george graves]

I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

[kronus]

I appreciate your effort, but can honestly say I hate absolutely everything about they way you're modifying your car...

I appreciate your satire, but can honestly say I am not a crook

[george graves]

The shits funny.

I appreciate your effort, but can honestly say I hate absolutely everything about they way you're modifying your car...

Thats a tall order seeing as how your car looks. Do you have an SR20DET in it too?

Edit: Nevermind, just looked at your modlist in your sig. Figured as much.

All these OEM parts...how much does your wallet hate you? Do you have a running total to date?

[Matt-B]

The car has been totalled.

Due to steering geometry changes from notching the subframe and lowering the steering rack, Japandrew lost control of the car, not while turning, but while driving straight.

But not without overheating first.

Fuck off

The VE is important as that is the fundemental to air flow.
I can´t even believe you made such a crude statement.

The VE on the M30 starts falling at 4k and hard.
Calculatable to about 60-65% VE at 6k. This is the same airflow at 6k as a 2.3 engine at 90-98% VE.

Engine displacement is not an indicator of airflow without talking about it´s VE curve.

Believe it. As I said:

Those calcs were very rough, and done disregarding stuff like VE.

If we were actually engineering something, the VE would be significant. But it is definitely not a matter of concern in this situation. Do you even realize the context of this conversation? What does 6000 rpm have to do with an emissions test? NOTHING. The tests aren't performed at that engine speed -- or anywhere near them. And no one is trying to be precise or engineer anything here... we're just talking about whether or not the cats would work.

Also, can you back up your "calculatable to about 60-65% @ 6000 rpm" statement with actual data? I highly doubt it. First of all, that statement is foolish, because if this VE data for the m30 that you speak of does exist , it is likely going to be empirical and not calculated. Second of all, the cats that were used for the US s14 were designed for use on a 2.5L engine with a higher VE than the US 2.3L version. So, they probably have a "factor of safety" of at least 1.5.

So, I can't believe that you can't believe I would make "such a crude statement".
