Had an interesting conversation with my mechanic about increasing power/performance by lowering engine compartment air temp. Also, introducing a cold air intake.
This is a new topic for me. He suggested ceramic coating the intake manifolds and engine tin to help. Also insulating the fuel lines and rails. Anyone doing this? |

I saw a 914 at Marina a/x last month with no engine compartment tin at all. It only had the cooling tin around the motor. You could see through to the ground all around it.
I wonder if that is a good set-up for a daily driver. Seems that a lot of cool air would swoop in there at speed. Idling, not so sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
