Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2006design flaw : F20A 's air intake gets useless heat from radiator*coolant (part 2)
Intake manifold has asbestos gasket to insulate heat ( from cylinder head ), but the 9 nuts which lock manifold onto cylinder head have no asbestos washer, so heat enters manifold via [i] these 9 nuts [ii] the exhaust gas channeled to EGR valve [iii] * channeled through manifold .[iv] manifold chamber via EAC & Fast Idle valves. www.autozone.com/images/cds/gif/large/0900823d800cf4a6.gif Designer seemingly assumed ambient air is never >20ºC ( can be seen from exhaust manifold's front & rear covers www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/catimgs/13sm40_d08.gif - meant to keep exhaust gas hot, unnecessary & bad in warmer climate ), & users will use * to heat their seats' spaces, so * will not be >40ºC. To further cool air intake, I use polystyrene & rubber washers to insulate chamber from these 2 valves, glued 3 heatsinks onto chamber, fitted copper wires & hoses ( with water & surfactant ) onto chamber & throttle body. Then air intake is cooler : warm- starts & hill climbing are easier, in even 27ºC ambient air, let alone in hotter weather. These 2 valves' insulations also make Fast Idle valve heat up & reduce idling rpm sooner, & save petrol during idling / coasting. I could not post here a photo of my F20A's chamber & valves, looks like neither NG now allows any photo. I am Tee Hee Chia Pet and I now give you five more defects I find with my Honda. 1. Exhaust system is made of metal instead of carbon fibre. Not only is it heavier and more prone to rust but we need more carbon fibre in our diet. 2. Spring loaded lid on coin box is always pushing backward against car which slow it down and cause the battery to go dead. I turned mine around and now it pushes the car forward and it is a lot faster. Maserati coin box covers are all designed this way. 3. My battery dies all the time because I leave the lights on and the car just chimes instead saying "Hey you f.cking moron, you left the lights on again." This technology was standard in the 1980 LeBaron. 4. I busted the headlights with a hammer and now the battery doesn't run down but the annoying chime still sounds. Honda should make cars with no headlights just like Mercedes started doing a hundred years ago. 5. The cabin has a poor layout. Too much Ying, not enough Yang. I paid a Feng Shui master to adjust the Chi and now the gas milage is much better. Also car is more at peace with the road. > I am Tee Hee Chia Pet and I now give you five more defects I find with > my Honda. > > 1. Exhaust system is made of metal instead of carbon fibre.

Make you very regular. > 2. Spring loaded lid on coin box is always pushing backward against > car which slow it down and cause the battery to go dead.

Do not put coins in coin box, unless they are Kazakhstan shillings. Kazakhstan shillings very aerodynamic. Very swoopy. Go down very fast and worth nothing in minutes! Socialist economics at work... > 3. My battery dies all the time because I leave the lights on and the > car just chimes instead saying "Hey you f.cking moron, you left the > lights on again." This technology was standard in the 1980 LeBaron. But did the voice say this in blue LED lights? If not, you are imagining this. > 4.

They flip UP out of sight. You can only see them if you open the hood, and then they blind you, and then you reduced to begging until Buddah call you home. > 5. The cabin has a poor layout.

I tried that, but unfortunately I summoned spirit of CHE, not CHI. Spirit of CHE came with AK-47 and killed all Yins and Yangs within 200 yards radius. Too bad. I all alone now.

TE Chea isn't a spammer (I think this is the only place I've seen him) and I don't even think he is a troll; he just has some odd ideas. That doesn't mean he will never have a good idea. And I must say he takes the ribbing without obvious backlash. We've certainly seen worse.

Because even far away from the engine, I would think that styrene wouldn't survive. I've even had styrene start to melt even inside the passenger compartment when parked in the sun and with the windows rolled up here in Phoenix. |
