<0> That's the point, you want it to require more air.
<0> More air and more fuel = more power and more fun.
<1> yup
<1> so somehow you either pressurise the air intake, or put in more fuel.
<0> Or you smooth out the intake tract and remove the restrictions on the exhaust side.
<0> Just an exhaust upgrade is worth 4-10 hp on most non turbo cars.
<0> Intake is another 3-5.
<0> (And the gains don't usually stack.)
<1> So, replacing the stock air intake with something like a K&N one would help some.
<0> Yes.
<1> Pity they don't make one then.
<1> Greens either.
<0> Make your own.
<2> I like my car a lot
<3> I hate the buses here a lot
<3> Oh well.
<2> aren't there sluts that do you on the bus?
<1> If I were to try and make a K&N equivalent, it'd look like a great bag of ****e.
<3> Ritalin: well that'd be a way to start my day
<1> synapsis: what does one do about the air-m*** meter on the intake?
<4> w00t
<3> Ritalin: maybe the sluts start at 09:00
<3> hey Jeremy
<0> It should compensate for the extra flow by itself.
<2> Quanan: yeah they're pretty hit or miss
<0> Some people pull out the screens to get a little more power.
<0> If you're making big power, it'll turn into a restriction, but you won't have to worry about that right now.
<3> Tamahome: my routes now are the 85 there, and the 85/whatever/51 or 84/51 on the way back
<1> synapsis: ok. It's right by the intake, which is a horizontal duct, along the top of the radiator. The air filter and airbox is quite a way back from that.
<2> keep this in mind. car manufactures are cheap. they really don't add parts to cars that they could get away not adding
<3> Ritalin: But, er, what are you yakkin' about?
<1> synapsis: If I were to remove the filter, and pipe straight through the box, it'd work, but removing the filter is a stupid thing to do.
<2> quanan: I'm on drugs
<3> Ritalin: as per your nick, yeah
<5> I've never taken the 51 or the 84... but I've taken the 85 quite a bit back when I worked at the hospital
<3> Tamahome: well, I just take the 84 up St. Laurent to Hurdman, the 51 takes the usual downtown route from Hurdman, but turns left at Lyon
<2> whyzzyrd: probably your best bet for quick bursts of power here and there but not changing the fuel economy would be add a nitrous system
<3> Tamahome: get off at Lyon and Somerset, walk the block up
<5> oh you live near Lyon & Somerset? cool
<0> whyzzyrd: You could get a cone filter and just clamp it to the pipe and ditch the box.
<1> Ritalin: I'd much rather it wasn't a visible change.
<3> Tamahome: block over, duh. Bay + Somerset..
<5> nice.
<0> Every car is different, you have to see what parts are available and what will work.
<3> Tamahome: why is that nice? you knew this already.
<1> synapsis: sure, but that'd then be behind the air-m*** widget.
<5> no, I didn't
<1> synapsis: yup.
<5> or if I did, I forgot
<6> hi
<3> Tamahome: yes you did! I told you!
<3> Tamahome: ah okay
<5> well then I bloody well forgot!
<3> Tamahome: near the b33r store
<1> intake -> air-m*** -> airbox -> filter-> intake manifold.
<6> from samba, is there a way to rotate the /var/log/samba/access.log?
<0> Are you sure? The MAF is usually after the filter to protect the wire.
<2> whyzzyrd: what year car is it?
<1> Ritalin: 99
<3> Tamahome: anyhow, you're supposed to come over for a b33r
<1> synapsis: I'll take a better look tomorrow. I'm pretty sure there's some sensor before the filter.
<2> whyzzyrd: http://store.racinglab.com/injen-cai-sp1872-galant.html
<1> synapsis: It's pitch-black, and pissing with rain just now.
<7> Pablo-33: usually thats done through log.... ok.
<5> Eric: it'd have to be on a Saturday or Sunday... I'm busy M/W/F with this setbuilding stuff
<1> Ritalin: nice.
<1> Ritalin: /me bookmarks. pity it's stateside.
<2> whyzzyrd: of course you could make something yourself that would be similar but doing a mod like that (cold air intake) is probably the most bang for your buck as far as mods go
<3> Tamahome: well my week is certainly open
<1> Ritalin: probably the easiest, and cheapest.
<5> Eric: except for that whole job thing right? :P
<3> Tamahome: er, weekend
<2> whyzzyrd: yes, that too
<2> whyzzyrd: more fuel only means more power when you have more air. if you open them longer it's just going to run rich
<1> Ritalin: Indeed.
<1> Ritalin: I do believe that it could get enough air to burn it.
<1> Ritalin: but I suspect I'd have to understand the whole system a ****-lot better than I do to work it out properly.
<0> The computer will compensate for it during closed loop operation anyway.
<1> synapsis: It'd just pick it up on the lambda sensor, wouldn't it.
<0> You'd try to add fuel, the O2 sensor would drop below 450 mV and the computer would say, "Hey, I'm rich." and start cutting fuel.
<0> Then it's swing over 550mW and the computer would say, "I'm lean now" and add fuel. And it'd cycle back and forth, never skipping a beat.
<0> And if you keep trying to add fuel, you'll go off the trim edge and it'll throw a code.
<1> synapsis: indeed.
<0> Americans are lazy.
<1> so lazy they buy a high-performance car, and cripple it with an auto box, and the weight thereof?
<3> synapsis: hey, so can we
<3> er, be
<3> Ka-bar: what colour?
<0> whyzzyrd: A certain celebrity actually had an automatic Lamboghini especially made.
<8> black
<3> Ka-bar: oh sweet
<3> Ka-bar: that'd be close to what I want
<3> Ka-bar: interior?
<1> synapsis: heh. presumably because ferrari told them to feck off.
<0> My 4Runner is a stick.. I row through the gears while I'm opening up that 90hp motor in a 3600lb truck.
<0> Fear me.
<3> Ka-bar: that or the A6, anyhow. black exterior, black interior, and a UV running light!
<9> German cars == w00t
<1> synapsis: apparently Enzo ferrari told ferrucio lamborghini to sod off one day, and hence lamborghini made his own, the first car being powered by a re-design of a tractor engine.
<0> Yep.
<0> whyzzyrd: If you have a chance, watch the Enzo Ferrari movie, it's interesting.
<0> How Ferrari was started, how much of a **** Enzo really was, etc...
<8> tan leather interior
<3> Ka-bar: wonder if that'd even be visible. uv, or at least a little violet, running light
<3> **** with the bees.
<9> wb Fred
<10> re :P
<9> not crazy about the default colours in irssi
<9> o/~ nice day for a / white wedding!
<0> Actually, Eyes Without a Face.. but close.
<1> synapsis: eyes without a face is a great film.
<11> I have a linux box and I only use it as a router, but the hard disk seems to be full. what could be wrong?
<10> optik: how does it "seem to" be full? What does "df" tell you?
<9> if it's only a router, I bet your logs in /var are filling it up
<0> syslog: /dev/hda1 is feeling bloated
<12> heh
<12> sudo mv /dev/hda1 /etc/jennycraig/
<12> s/etc/home/
<11> here's the df: http://pastebin.com/633409
<12> check /var
<12> dh -s /var/log/
<12> err
<12> du -s /var/log/
<10> yup, thats full ;)
<10> try /var/spool too while you're at it. /var/cache, /tmp too
<0> try cleaning up ~/.pr0n/
<12> now why would you HIDE your pron dir?
<0> wife/gf/sister
<12> thats just one extra keystroke you need to type to get to it :P
<12> what? cant they handle a bit of pr0n?
<12> you need to train them better :P
<11> 2546248 /var/log
<0> This is someone else's theoretical box. I run XP64.
<13> He means you have to hide the "hidden camera" pr0n of them.
<10> 2.5GB of log is quite a lot ;P
<9> yes, yes it is
<12> synapsis, oh, so NOTHING is secure/hidden then? :P
<12> perhaps someone needs to investigate logrotate
<10> might I suggest cleaning out the logs, and then installing logrotate? :P
<12> or WHY the logs are so big
<0> I keep a laptop open on the cawfee table with pr0n at the ready.
<12> id suspect its barfing at something, often
<10> the why would be good too ;)
<9> you definitely want logrotate
