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

Glad you realized you're wrong.

Nope, its just mote to argue with someone who doesnt know anything about electronics.....

I mean, itd probably be cheaper to buy a manual civic than convert the auto. Since youre gonna need the box, clutch and flywheel, lines, selector linkages, pedal box and possibly ecus from a manual car

Needs money for car parts :P

true, but it was my moms first car in america, she died to gene cancer, so no time soon am i selling it, it still will shift at like 800 under the rev range if you gas the shit outta it like i mean, GAS

lets just say my mom not like clutch

Me too! Been in an independent shop for 15 years and was a home hobbiest for 5 years prior, took small engines and auto in highschool then the full course at a local college. Got taught electrical by a guy moonlighting from the GM training center. I need to get the rest of my ASE's but I'm fairly competent with vehicles.

Well guys, after much deliberation I sold my 1992 Miata with the hardtop and all. It was going to be parked for the winter anyways as the heat didn't work, and it always seemed like it had some kind of transmission problem, so I decided to move on. 

 

However, let me introduce you guys to my new project / daily 1994 Honda Civic Del Sol Si!

You forgot to mention you're numerous military decorations for keyboard warrior campaigns....

No, you are not. If you were you would know some basic stuff like switching PSU's actually use PWM:
https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/blog/linear-regulated-vs-switch-mode-power-supply/

Quote

A switch mode power supply regulates an output voltage with pulse width modulation (PWM).

Quote

Advantages

  • Small form factor. The step-down transformer in an SMPS operates at a high frequency which in turn reduces its volume and weight. This allows a switching power supply to enjoy a much smaller form factor than linear regulators.
  • High efficiency. Voltage regulation in a switching power supply is made without dissipating excessive amounts of heat. SMPS efficiency can be as high as 85%-90%.
  • Flexible applications. Additional windings can be added to a switching power supply to provide more than one output voltage. A transformer-isolated SMPS can also provide output voltages that are independent of input voltages.

 

So again, the video i linked pretty much shows how little heat-sinking is needed for a switching PSUs. If you need more examples take a look at computer PSUs which make several voltages with very little heat-sinking.

 

This is the end of this dumb argument.

Your initial ask was why blowers use resistor cards and not PWM controls. I told you that while it would be more efficient it would not be cost effective because a PWM blower control costs more for an insignificant gain in efficiency. I answered your question pretty thoroughly, why you can't accept that I don't understand. I have a basic grasp of PC power supplies, yes not an intimate one. I work on cars more than computers because that's my job 40hrs a week. What do you do for a living? Maybe you have a better grasp on electronics than cars and how/why they're built like they are? That's ok, no one knows everything.

not car related but it's bothering me: is it normal in life to get multiple attempts to be a multi-millionaire but fail at all of them just because you didn't do one or two simple little things that would of put yourself in that position?

I've had zero of those as far as I know so uh you're having better luck than me!
