    Why do 4 cylinder engines need backpressure?

    I have always heard that four bangers need back pressure for optimum performance unless they are turbo charged. I have been arguing with my roommate that they do need back pressure and he says that it is only some senser crap that makes later model four cylinders lose power when the exhaust is...

    Is the voltage regulator part of the alternator on a 97 dx hatch?

    Iv been trying to change the alternator and for a while (and freezing my ass doing it) and then a friend told me that it may not even be the alternator thats causing the problem if the voltage regulator is a separate part.

    In response to the airbag thing... up till now Iv never driven a car with em and so far I havent missed em much and I have had a few collisions over the years.

    best "on the cheap engine" for a 98 dx hatch

    So what is the difference in weight between a 93 b18a1 and a d16y7? Iv heard that the heavier engines are good only for drag purposes due to the increased weight in the front end which is already a bit heavy anyway. good for straight line but shitty for the curves... and in response to...

    best "on the cheap engine" for a 98 dx hatch

    sin city

    The cool thing is the movie is almost frame for frame from the comic as opposed to translating the comic into a movie they took a comic and made it act like a movie. Even the color usage is right out of the comic. Quentin T only did one scene in the whole movie- the part where dwight is driving...

    General turbo question...

    Iv argued this question on both sides but have never gotten a definitive answer from anyone. Will a turbo spool up and give you any kind of usable power when you rev the engine at a stand still? At first I thought not because of needing air movement in the intake to spool the turbo but then...
