sir, do u know a good carburator specialist. my car is a daewoo racer. the engine doesn't stop on its high idling speed even when I'm on a complete stop, it requires a few seconds before it turns to normal idling. also on start it has a very high idling speed. I went to banawe recently and was told to go to kamuning's carburator specialists. just want to know if you can recommend a good shop. and also an estimate to the cost. thanks.

try mo sa kamuning,marami dun na magaling!hope this helps

start the engine..

 

dont rev it up just let it stay on idle for a while..

 

open the air filter..then let it idle more..

 

if you notice that the fuel fumes is strong..(it can be irritating to the eyes..)

 

thats where your fuel mixture is too strong and air is much lesser..

 

adjust the fuel screw up to the minimum..(this will likely cause the engine to be sluggish..)then increase it slightly along with the air screw..

 

when the sluggish action of the engine stop, rev the engine slowly up to redline then release the throttle..

 

if the engine dont die, the F/A mixture is ok..

hello everyone. gusto ko lang mag ask ng opinion nyo re: 2 mufflers. i drive a 2k10 lancer gt. i am planning to modify my stock mufflers. gawin ko sana 2. parang camry,350z etc. what are the cons? tia

[JMig]

well with an I4 engine you really shouldn't put in a split exhaust because it will restrict the airflow going out of your engine. 2 mufflers will result in a drop in performance (horsepower)

so sir 2.0 is not enough? thank you very very much sir. i am enlightened, I will sacrifice style na lang ill go for performance.

[MRROUGHSEX]

I wouldn't touch a car simply because I believe in stock quality. Having said that though, if there's any thing I feel strongly about modification, it's the dual exhaust. It improves the look of the car by the millions by giving symmetry at the back.

[sk3rmo]

I may be wrong but AFAIK most if not all vehicles with twin exhausts have v-type engines or horizontally opposed piston arrangements. Inline engines like most japanese makes only have single exhausts.

[lkl]

don't touch it please, keep your money!

[khantan]

don't touch it please, keep your money!

 

tama yan!

[Batfleck]

help me please im considering installing a dual exhaust for my lancer ex 2.0 gt tia.pros and cons please.

[WACKYRIDER]

a more increase in your torque (pros) and

a slight increase of your gasoline consumption (cons)...maybe????

Edited March 15, 2010 by WACKYRIDER

[WACKYRIDER]

BTW.... is it chambered or open muff?????

[Batfleck]

whats the diff sir? newbie lang po ang installed sakin ngayon is yung stock balak ko lagyan ng y piping tapos 2 mufflers.

[takamiro]

one thing, its RICE. your car isn't evo X.

What about Honda S2000 and Acura TSX ? They both have dual exhaust coming out of the factory. It all depends on the manufacturer. To me having dual for a small car is more weight. No advantage. If it were a V-8 or V-6 then it helps with exhaust flow.

[lollipop3]

stock exhaust system is more on street use.. lolo na un headers desinged for good back pressure for low end.. maluwag na exhaust would definitely give you more performance pero that's on higher rev, kung masyadong maluwag naman mababawasan ka ng low end. a good 4-2-1 headers then slightly bigger exhaust would give you a reasonable performance considering ok pa din pang everyday.. so no matter 2 exhaust o 4 exhaust, e depende na yan sa size kung tama ba computation.. pero based on my experience, an exhaust system na 4-2-1 might good for the street, low-mid and onteng high range performance, iba pa din ang 4-1 headers free flow exhaust sa high rpm.. ung 4-2-1 ko only good up to 6500rpm, then there's no more increase in power, nasasakal na.. pero i've seen cars with similar setup tuloy pa din increase ng hatak up to 7000+rpm.. up to 8500rpm pa nga ok pa din.. so i guess i'd go for 4-1 nlng, no worries sa low end since bawi naman ng shorter gear ratio ko ang torque sa low end..

 

also tried in my stock tamaraw fx to remove the exhaust pipe, so natitira lang stock headers, malaking increase in performance, and laki din tinipid sa gas (laki din ng ingay), from 5.5km/L naging 7.5-8km/L city driving, may mga hataw2 pa un dahil ganda ng tunog pag high rpm ng headers lng.. kkaiba

proved that factory settings are not always the best option.. with a simple change lng sa exhaust system, ang 7k ng fx could definitely have more power and still have better fuel economy..

[lollipop3]

there's always a room for improvement for every design.. that's why we have aftermarket tuners, even car companies have their own tuning dep't.. making better intakes, better exhaust, etc.. each part designed for a purpose, whether street, race, turbo, NA, etc..

hello. i'm a newbie pickup owner (isuzu dmax) so please bear with me.

 

i have two questions.

 

1. i read sa manual you have to step on the clutch before starting the ignition (even if the pickup is on neutral). is it really necessary?

 

2. when starting daw a deisel engine like dmax, we have to wait several minutes for the engine to get warm before driving it? how long exactly? and gaano katagal di napa andar ang pickup before performing this 'ritual' again?

 

thanks talaga sa tulong and sorry if medyo 'dumb' ang mga questions ko. if there are also links to websites na me tips how to take proper care of my dmax, i'd really appreciate it.
