Keep your junk away from me and my horse.
Egr...like breathing your own farts.(the plug term was a simple statement)
1, carbon doesn't ignite well.
2, exhaust gases are hot, cold air is better
3, it's ugly and rusty
Cons..
Need a tuner.
Pollution, Idk about that...as there are catalytic converters cleaning the exhaust.
Nobody said listen to me, I prefer it if you don't.
I can do it all myself...I did, but advice and knowledge is helpful.
How much hp does one want before improving trans gearing etc. I haven't got this far, but there is a damper system in the clutch to absorb torque( torque breaks things not hp.) This damper system my actually spring additional force once you start modifications. Possibly Turning that friend into an enemy. I've started researching a different clutch setup from a contour, may help...or make worse..old
One thing I've noticed...us 5 speed owners tend to turn to jaguar as they are so close...but there is differences, with only 2300 manual ls produced, nobody has much info.
Personally...if I spend the money to hit 320 hp....I would deff of bought a spare trans for a few hundred. That's about the only thing reasonably priced on these cars. Given the fact there is 20 of them on car parts, and jag trans don't list as interchange, they gotta have some strength to them.
I've only been messing with duratec for maybe 3 weeks now...being wrong more than I'm right is part of noob. But when it comes to general mechanics, not technology on the ls, I'm pretty da## good!
Also..5 speed has an oil cooler and different alternator, I believe the 5speed parts are a better choice, both fit tho.
