The second best thing to do is intake and exhaust, they add some a good amount of power and gives some injoyable sounds.

What your looking for is a aftermarket air filter, a cold air intake is the whole system. My suggestion if your going with a budget get the green works air filter, and the RS air filter box. Or just the filter if that's all you want.

So the thermostat is relatively easy to install I would say 2 out of 5, the header is a little harder because you have to get under the car and also remove the rear and passenger motor mounts and slide the engine forward. So I would say a 3.5 out of 5.

Its not a temp sensor its a thermostat, I did notice an overall difference, just because it wasn't running so hot, the extra 12-15 degrees less, than it was makes a big difference with more mods you throw at it. And the ram air intake goes right on with no problem, other than taking a plastic snorkel off and a plastic ducting piece off as well.

How does the throttle body work? As in, what’s the real purpose behind it?

@shift3162 Жыл бұрын

So, a throttle body is between the intake manifold and the filter. The purpose of a throttle body is that it controls how much air is going into the engine. There's a flap inside that goes almost vertical to horizontal, allowing more air into the engine, depending on how far your foot is in the gas. Thus a larger throttle body menas more air witch equals for power.

Off road only car, right? Otherwise you wouldn't post on KZfaq the evidence of a violation of defeating the Federal emissions controls by removing the catalytic converter on a Pollution Controlled Motor Vehicle for use on public roads, right? That being said, you needed the new tune for the engine without the converter because the back-pressure the engine was programmed to run with is no longer there without the cat and would not run correctly on the factory tune. Also, the computer wouldn't know what to do with the wild readings from the O2 sensors without the cat. Did the tune do anything for fuel mileage or power output? Do you have any plans for a performance cam? Head porting? The "cold air intake" is not. The filter that's in place is less restrictive and will increase air flow, but the duct that drew fresh air from in front of the radiator is defeated and the air filter draws hotter under hood air. You would be better off putting the factory intake back in and use the K&N filter. That way you would have more air flow and cooler, fresh air. I like the customizations you did to it. Looks nice.

@shift3162 Жыл бұрын

Yes off road car lol, that's why it has the mud flaps. And yes the tune did a ton, not just making it all run properly, and it did add a significant amount of power, and gas mileage over all. As long as you go with Tom from Focus Power.. And cams don't do anything for theis cars, it's all sound, and I do plan on porting the heads. As for the intake I have two ram air intakes that blow cold air right to the filter, and I would say k&n did a great job of sealing off the engine bay to the filter.
