How Stuff Works: So why don't cars carry around pure oxygen? The problem is that oxygen is pretty bulky, even when you compress it, and an engine uses a LOT of oxygen. A gallon of gasoline weighs 6.2 pounds, so the engine needs 86.8 pounds of oxygen (6.2 x 14) per gallon of gasoline. Oxygen is...

a electric supercharger cant compress the air,you will need at least 0.6 kw and a compressor from a turbo, that wont give you any power gains

thanks

you can use the daewoo rods, its the same engine but the rods are better.

you can use 4EFTE from a Starlet Glanza, a 4age from a mr2, a d16 from a civic, a b16 from a civic si...

intercooler

You can use a thicker head gasket and lower compression height pistons

I dont now maybe 2000-2500 usd

You can: * Increase compresion for improved low end torque (shaving the head) * Put a 4-2-1 custom made header and a sport muffler. * Do a DIY Port&Polish. * If the engine is carbureted you can fit bigger one, that would help alot; if its fuel injected you can fit a conic air filter. If you...

In wet sump lubrication would be posible to feed the oil pickup from external oil reservoir? The system would be like this: The main fuel tank would represent the oil sump and surge tank would be the external oil reservoir.

Is possible to use rods with a different big end diameter?

In a carbed car does the fuel pressure changes the amount of fuel which is drawn to the engine?

How max boost before detonation is measured? Can a EGT sensor be useful to detect detonation?

a remap or a chip wont give you no power, this engine has been very optimized so it´s difficult to get more power from hem. A aftermarket header and a ITB can give 20 HP.

remember that a motor that has power at low revs has smaller ports for increased air speed in low rpm, but a hi revving engine has large diameter ports for more air speed in high rpm, so in both cases the speed is the same, the difference is the rpm. So i was wondering what is that speed?
