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

Well shit

What kinda material differences would there be trying to go that high?

The short-block and rotating assembly are relatively straight forwards.  A forged crank, rods, etc.  Nothing super expensive or exotic there.  strong fasteners.  The key is in the engine builder's expertise at balancing and assembly.  

 

The expense comes in the form of the valve train.  Stability must be maintained at all costs.  This requires Jezel shaft rockers, lightweight parts, titanium is prevalent.  Pushrods have to be thicker walled to resist bending under load.  The spring effective spring rate of each of the 16 valve springs on my engine is 720lb/in, and I have about .570" lift.

Baha. Don't hold your breath, your Volvo will probably hold on for another 20-30 years. 😄

It's a 440. It's pretty much a Renault 9 underneath. That said, it's been going strong since 2014 with only minor issues, drove it from 94500km to 256000km by now. Easily the most reliable car i ever owned.

My dad still doesn't understand why I want to drop a little over 250 on a dashcam/hardwire kit for a car I'm only going to pay 1,200 for. Seems like a good idea having something to save my ass, idk tho.

Dashcams can also move between cars too. My dad sure wants to carry this over into his next vehicle.

That's good to know 🙂

I'm sure the dashcam footage will come in handy later.

It already has; he was able to show the police officer the video footage to prove he had a green light, as well as it being sent to insurance

I've been trolled today by my car, I've been trying to diagnose and fix some weird issues with just lack of power and now recently cold stalling issues. So I replaced the items that normally would go out on an older vehicle. I've put in new coils, MAF, plugs(a few times), sparkplug wires, cam sensor, fuel pump assembly, egr valve, MAP sensor and actuator. Well today just messing around I took the throttle position sensor off and lo-and behold it's not OEM. I owned the car for the past four years, and it's been in the family from the lot so how it got there is beyond anyone. So, I frequently visit the junkyard and had an OEM one from a four year older car. Slapped it in, starts up just fine, and idles better. Smh

 

I don't mind spending the money on parts, they're cheap for the car and I need it to be reliable for my school transportation but dang, haha.

Looks like they hit the other car too!

They sure did! The Cadillac was fine though, it practically drove onto the tow truck.

It's very warm at work and being the only person in the shop is still weird and I don't like it. I've got the rest of the week like this too. Hot and alone.

I had a quote, so it technically counted as having something typed. 

I HAD typed something, but I deleted it cause I needed to rewrite it but I hit CTRL Enter so it sent

As he should. I'm kinda surprised my dad didn't consider getting one when we got our new car last year. You'd think he'd want to have a bit of butt-saving on a brand new car but nope, still a stupid device. 🙄
