Why would it make better with ethanol if ethanol is less energy dense
>>27843308Probably related to it being higher octane so it changes the tune when it detects it, idk

I think I should get a 2024 Mustang GT while they're available even if it means drowning in debt. To borrow a word from Aldous Huxley, Fordship is magic.This is still available to us while GM already nixed the Camaro and Stellantis did the same to the Challenger. I'd get an EcoBoost but no manual transmission is available for it, imagine buying a 4 pot and then losing even more power to the tranny, couldn't be me.

>>27842941>>27842994Meh. Not worth my time. I used to have a guy detail my M3 every month, but I just don't see the value in cleaning something that might end up tyre wall, anyway.

>Currently driving a 325i e46 auto>MK1 MX5 has popped up at my local auctionIts british racing green, good history and seems that theres no rust. I love my e46 but I think I might do it. Doesn't help that I'm really starting to miss my NB I sold last year.
>>27843431Assuming you won't miss the practicality that a 4 door affords you, I'd do it. I think the MX5 will be worth more than the E46 in the long run, and they're also easier and marginally cheaper to maintain.
What is your "driving jacket". For me its an m65 jacket i bought from some surplus store.

Does anyone else get inconsistent power out of their car?2004 Crown vic with the police package. I'm sitting at 192k miles. Some days it feels super slow to get up to speed and other days the accelerator is super touchy. Ive even had days where I'll go from low power to touchy and vice-versa in the middle of driving.Transmission was rebuilt at 174k miles, I don't remember whether it's an 4R75W or 4R70W.
>>27843312Mine does that but reliably the same way every time. When I floor the gas the output is very variable, it's almost like it has a flu

that should only happen if the intake tube is a drastically different size (like 2" or more) since maf calibration is dependent on tube size to determine the air mass being inducted. if it's very close it shouldn't matter and the computer can adjust for it in closed loop. the air filter shouldn't matter either, even no filter at all, since the extra air from lack of restriction will just cool the hot wire further, resulting in the computer seeing a larger air mass but the calculations would be correct so long as it is correctly calibrated for the intake size. the only real reason that might cause an issue is if the stock filter is so incredibly restrictive that removing it allows the hot wire to be cooled so much more than normal it hits the bottom of the table and the computer just sees it stuck at very low (or high I guess) valves which is obviously a red flag for it.
>>27843090it's definitely that. I've wasted so much of my life calibrating MAF flow rate to stock because people want a CAI, meanwhile I've seen it time and time and time again on the dyno that every 10* IAT is 1% power difference. It's not bad, but if you spent 300 on an AEM intake, then 500 for a "tune", for 1-2% power increase, well I have some remote desert land for sale.
>>27843130Thanks anon, I'll make sure to post an update when I've bricked the ECU.>>27843150>the only real reason that might cause an issue is if the stock filter is so incredibly restrictive that removing it allows the hot wire to be cooled so much more than normalThis is possible, the biggest restriction in the stock system besides the filter itself is the way it gets air from a couple small holes. I mean I'm pretty much retarded when it comes to engines but this looks pretty restrictive to me, at least it definitely is compared to the aftermarket intake. Good enough to run the engine stock but could mean the MAF is calibrated for a pretty restrictive intake so the aftermarket intake sucking a ton of air in with barely any restriction would cool the MAF sensor wire too much.
>>27843195>Thanks anon, I'll make sure to post an update when I've bricked the ECU.kek, I think there are a few other anons on the chans that mess around with factory ECUs using their coding knowledge. I believe in you
