4agze Nearing completion, Street legal, & a few more vids/pics Options

[FAQdaWorld]

Well the swap is really close to being done now. I got someone to weld the rest of the exhaust up, its a little restrictive but I'll be getting all new exhaust once i go turbo.

I figured i'd post up a video for you gents to look at

I have the greddy cat back on there, and as you can see the celica MOVES!!!

Right click, save as

Whats left to be done:


Install front shocks (kyb gr2's)

FMIC

Hook Up power steering

Body shop to finish up the front.


Overall we should be done within the next week or two.

no my good sir, steam is not air... it is water heated up until it is in vapor form... lol

lol, i know, what I meant was that a steam engine can "pick up" excess heat from a engine etc and convert that heat energy into movement. I can't think of many other things that are able to do that.

think of it as the heat is assisting the gasses move quicker, you know the physics of heat right? it always tranfers the movement of energy to whats colder than the heated area which would be the end of the exhaust so the hotter the air the more it has a need to reach the end. It made sense to me when i was explained this if im totally wrong its cool i just thought it made sense, as for my source i cant remember anymore

Yes, the heat is always transferred from a warmer object to a colder one and not the other way around (unless you add energy to do so), though this doesn't affect the air, just the heat it contains.

Jet engines use heat to spin a turbine which pushes air so I guess a turbo would work the same way.

a turbo and a jet engine isn't working in the exact same way.

As the jet engines fuel is ignited it the air is heated and it expands, the air is then pushed backwards onto the turbine fan, the turbine fan is connected to the compressor in the front which suck more air into the engine and it starts all over again.

but in the turbo the exhausts is already heated as it reaches the turbo and therefore it won't expand more, and this is why it can't work the same way as a jet engine.
