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

Just watched The Grand Tour S2 E2. There are few cars that, IMO, are near "perfect" in their own rights. The F40 is one, the 911 GT3 RS4.0 (when it was still full-manual trans), and the 599XX are a few that come to mind. The new Ford GT is now another I'm adding to that list. ;) 

For me its the F-Type. Looks really fun on their gravel section xD

Friend's dad was leading me out of a tight parking spot (About 30 cars and a driveway intended for 6 max) since my windows were absolutely frosted to the point of being opaque and lead me straight into a mailbox

im having trouble figuring out what you mean by "port" 

 

as "port" from what i know, is a type of fuel injection, where the fuel is injected above the intake valves on the engine, where it is mixed with air, and then let into the combustion chamber when the valve opens.

 

edit: as opposed to "direct" injection, where the fuel is "sprayed" directly into the cylinders.

 

 

so is he just trying to remove the injectors? the fuel rail? etc.
