Confusing Hardware

Confusing Hardware

Lets start the confusion by a calm recitation of a Hindi Poem:

Jut Jut nakana
Jut na maharani
aga Jut na Hoto
Cong jut sega lunkar pani

Jut means CB or virgina...
So,... allow me to translate the poets sculpt to fellow netizens for the benefit of our hindi gundos...

Virgina! To virgina you pray
Virgina is princess
If! Virgina is not around
who virgina will suck my penis water

the "who" is intentional and definately not an indication of my poor command of english. In case Dr Sam is reading this and scrutinize me the moment he gets the chance to do so...

I've been asked so many times to explain of hardware like intercooler, turbos, boost level and so on in relation to power, in relation to engine lifespan blah blah...

I discipline myself to refrain from devulging too much into hardware mechanics. Sun Tze tells us that if your opponent is strong, you should appear weak, thereby, you invite an attack and you may be innocent and victorious. If you understand what I am trying to say. Good! I won't bore you further. :)

If you aspire to be an engineer like sam. You must be crazy. I advise you try google and read as much as you can. The purpose of each components. A good article I can recommend is from NGK's website. Do a search and read on what they say about their plugs, not asking you to buy it of course... and also not saying its the best. Now, I advise you read it as an independent article, without relation to other component whatsoever. Then, verify the aricle with sam. hahaha... Gaining knowledge on individual component, then proceed to integrate the articles the best way you can. Then call sam... hahaha...

Bored already? hahaha... In each setup, the ingredients you use is different. Customers who listens to Dr sam's sermons religously are equally crazy I must say... and in time, you will gain the knowledge of his for your car, good enough to achieve your desired results. The problem? Well, allow me...

Sam: "What the fark you did to your car?"
Tom: "nothing... leh but car keep pinging(detonation) now"

Sam picks up his phone...

Sam: "hello, j_tune?"
me : "hey boss"
Sam: "Eh, the car is pinging leh..."
me : "Which one?"...blah blah blah...

Sam: "Did you change your spark plugs somewhere recently?
Tom: "Errr......" blah blah blah...

You see, a simple spark plug can trigger so much talk... hahaha... And, I bet the owner is thinking about intercooler... hahaha... anyway, you have no choice but to understand every component in the engine in order to be effective in your troubleshooting. Knowing each component and its effects will not only save time, it also avoids the downward spirial modifications where the owner ends up changing everything including the engine internals.

Now, before this article turns our blog into floods of potemkin theories, spark plugs may and may not be the cause, it depends heavily on your car's setup. The term "Car setup" is Sam's way of avoiding the need to describe every single theory and turn his 1 hour sermons into a 3 days seminar.

Intercooler is by far the most talked about hardware. Its theories are endless, along with deputed claims and their potemkin theories.

In conclusion, in your pursuit for knowledge, the confusion always arise when you attempt to integrate what you have learnt to the bigger picture of a car's setup. Only first hand experience and accurate dianostics can confirm that theory. For instance, you upgrade from a smaller intercooler to a bigger one. And then later reduce it to a smaller one. Now, with 3 intercoolers and 3 dyno figures, with all else constant, including tuning, what is the results on all sensors and changes on the dyno chart. Being able to interpret the dyno chart itself is a skill of an abled tuner. Or, rarely, which I have seen before, by a knowledgable owner who spends most of his time hanging around dyno machines watching people come and go.

In the end, my objective is simple, a car that is smooth as factory just more power and torque. Not too much to ask for I guess.... hahaha... Once again, I avoided the temptation to vandalise the blog with jargons, potemkin theories and hardware mechs.

Cong Jut sega lunkar pani.....

see you soon...
