slower when warm!
Discussion
Car feels really fast and eager when its cool in the engine bay, but when everything heats up, the car feels more sluggish... kind of makes sense, but what mods fixes this?
I have:
I have:
- Clive ypiece
- Smooth elbow
- Heat reflector around pipe from AFM to airfilter
- Heat shield around AFM
- Carbon trumpets and trumpet base gasket thingy
- Remove precats to get temp down...
While it's true the pre-cats are in the manifolds and the N/S manifold is close to the AFM, initially I wouldn't focus your energies on the little pre-cats.
They really aren't that much of a restriction compared with the big main cat, & it's the restriction that bottle necks the heat.
It's not until you remove the big main main cat that you will start to see a significant reduction in under bonnet temperatures.
Remove the main cat first, then if you still want to clear all restriction move onto the pre-cats.

In my first post I stated that I have Clives Y piece... that replaces the cat!They really aren't that much of a restriction compared with the big main cat, & it's the restriction that bottle necks the heat.

Hehe... eh... Ribol, are there paints or similar one can use on the manifolds or do they have to come off for the ceramic treatment?
Really dont wanna take them off :/
There are some DIY products out there but unfortunately the only way to do ceramic coating properly is by taking the parts off and getting them done professionally. I see you are in the rim refurb game, it is the same difference as you powder coating a wheel v someone painting them at home with an aero.Really dont wanna take them off :/
(BTW I notice you are based in Norway, you lucky so and so, cruising by the fjords in a V8 TVR - magic!)

Yes its quite nice! Plus theres basicly no other tvrs here so a yellow one stands out (BTW I notice you are based in Norway, you lucky so and so, cruising by the fjords in a V8 TVR - magic!)
