As im not the most knowledgable person about cars, tuning etc ive always wondered the answer to some of these questions and hopeing they can get answered here, some of them relate to both petrol and diesel but as ive got a diesel thought id post in here.
1. Can i get my red line extended, eg from 4500 rpm to 5000 rpm ? just to allow the engine to rev that bit harded.
2. Whats the diffrence between a custom and generic remap?
3. How safe it nitrous? ive heard now adays nitrous kits are very safe and only blow your car if you use it when your not supposed to. Also how much can you use on a 4 cylinder diesel engine?
4. Do performance exhuast or bigger exhausts, eg going from 2 inch to 2.5 make a big diffrence in power ? what about de cat pipes?
5. When driving my car 99 % of the time my engine temp gauge is at the lwoest point like its not working. It does it when driven normal and hard. It will sometimes go up o 90 degree ( half way ) or sometimes just below. The car still runs the same and no warning lights. Ive heard this is something to do witht the radiator ?
6. I was looking at putting a boost controller in my car. does this control how much boost you put through, eg set it to 100 bhp or then crank it up too 180 ?
7. Is there anyways to stop a diesel from sounding like that diesel sound. I mean i dont want it too sound like a petrol just not like walking through a fairground.
8. Whats the best type of air intake ? induction kits or panel filters ? I know induction kits cost more and sound terrible but is there a diffrence in bhp gain?
9. When would you put silicone hoses in your car, you know thoses big coloured hoses, i think they look cool but there must be a real reason ?
10. Is there anyway to get rid of rust once its through, or if its starting to buble through the paint ?
