General tuning principles

Recommended Posts

I have learnt an awful lot about my engine from the people and posts on here. There are still some that scare me like Chris's latest Hyrdo Dynamics comment :shock:

 

Although not in their league i still tend to assume everyone knows generally about compression, stroke, turbos, chargers, valves, cams etc and how they can increase power and/or torque.

 

However, if you don't, i think this explains everything really well, hey i understand it!

Yes, i know its Alfa related, but the theory still stands! :p

Not trying to teach about eggs and sucking, but i'll admit i knew sh.t when i started on here, and worse still i thought i did :roll:

 

I'm not naming you all, but there are plenty on here that will not need to read this :notworthy:

NickVR6, am still very much a noob when it comes to car and engines but sometimes I find I know more than I realise when reading posts from the many knowledgable folks on here.

 

Link saved - will read at dinner, nice one Nick.

 

Ofcourse every post/link read means another search for funds to pay for the latest "cunning plan" :lol:

 

long may it continue!
