Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

More rally car! I doubt Vermont SC would bring their STI to Rally of the Tall Pines in November, but if they do I'll be there :)

I just realized, today, probably the worst car in history is celebrating it's 35 birthday

So I've come to the conclusion that a 4BT swap into my s10 would be the greatest thing ever, and those engines are indestructible and take boost super well, but tranny wise it's going to be a bit hard. I was at the dealership yesterday talking with the guys there, and as far as an easy swap, a 350 will bolt right in. Motor mounts, 4L80e tranny, everything. Dunno what direction I really wanna go.

5.3 swap

5800X3D / ASUS X570 Dark Hero / 64GB 3600mhz / EVGA RTX 3090ti FTW3 Ultra / Dell S3422DWG / Razer Deathstalker v2 / Razer Basilisk v3 Pro / Sennheiser HD 600

Why?

selling a few to buy a few more he really never keeps most of his cars for very long especially newer ones im not sure what hes buying next but since hes selling his db9 (which was his daily driver) its probably going to be good.

So it's my understanding that the reason they had to hide emissions was because they were NOT using DEF?

I have a hard time understanding how DEF works anyways. Anyone elaborate? I'm clueless about diesels except basic function (glow plugs heat up air and diesel which causes a lot of pressure to move the Pistons)

How long does DEF last? Is it expensive? Etc.

they had to hide emissions because they were using a cheaper metal in the catalytic converter they way they hid it was recirculating the emissions into an air intake and then exhausting them meaning much less concentration of the harmful fumes and they did this to save about 10 billion dollars but usa fines alone will cost them 18 billion at least

So we all know that the Nissan ZEOD-RC can just barely recoup enough electricity to do one lap of Le Mans with the engine off, but ever wonder what else that discharge could be used for? Wonder no more, because Toyota has an answer! I'm sure you're all familiar with the TS040 by now, a car that has had... a less than stellar performance in 2015.

 

 

As a marketing ploy, they decided to run it on a rolling road and use the electricity that is fed to the supercapacitors (via regenerative braking) to cook up a nice, homey breakfast. Over the 13KM lap of Le Mans, the TS040 generates enough electricity to brew 171.4 cups of coffee, toast 83.3 slices of bread, and fry 57.7 eggs. For those who want to know the maths, that's just over 6,000,000 Joules of energy.

 

@MEC-777 The TS030 was on display at this year's auto show, ICYMI :)

idk i think there is some marketing bs in that like they should be dead from the exhaust fumes (at least the add is bs maybe the message is true) xD

I know this might sound stupid, because obviously, it's just an ad, but I don't think the front wheels ever turned while the car was in that dyno thing, and the car wasn't even secure... :P

The TS040 is a 1000ps hybrid, but only half that is sent to the front wheels via the electric motors. With the ERS still connected to the supercapacitors, they could disable the front motors (ergo axle) and instead re-route the electricity to whatever was on those tables. Hence the front wheels dont move, since the V8 primarily outputs power to the rear ^^

 

You could still apply a slight current to the front motors to essentially lock them in place, or use them as a handbrake. (or there are straps underneath that we can't see)
