OOOOOWWWWWW.

And then, I have a birthday gathering on Friday, wedding on Saturday, gf's nephew's baptism on Sunday & leave Monday for a week long work trip.

All 4 wisdom teeth being removed tomorrow afternoon. 2 bottom are horizontally impacted & wrapped around a nerve. The other two vertically impacted, partially erupted. Fun.

Enjoyed a few Light Wheat beers from there last night. Only place I buy from now. Wasted, where are you from? I'm in Saskatoon here.. College park I think. yourself? Also, I just put the order in for the woofskies. I BE BALL SLAPPIN IN NO TIME Was in College Park, now in Nutana

Nope.

All Alpine sub amps will go into overcurrent shutdown at any impedance below 2 ohms.

Poor kid.

No open toe shoes, full pants, no a/c, windows up. Like Steve said, no waterbox if you don't have the required tires, then stage & go. You'll have an inspection prior to running as well.

The 8" SLS would be one.

The same thing, the premise of it is plain old stupid.

From what I have seen, Nissan will not do recalls at all, they will just fix it the next time you come into the dealer. They also don't ever really fix recalls either, just install the same faulty part & call it good.

You need to make a solid mount to the door. If you want to then blend the fibreglass into the door panel, go ahead, but you need to completely isolate the midbass from the door panel itself or it will resonate like all hell.

IXL is a SQ/Daily sub line SPL is the SPL line

here is an explanation of open/closed loop as well: So wtf is closed and open loop? 'Closed Loop' is the term given to the ECU behaviour when the oxygen sensor signal is being used to largely control how much fuel the injectors are adding to the intake. The ECU works in closed loop most of the time - when the car is warmed up and idling, in constant throttle cruise - and so on. The ECU watches the oxygen sensor output and if the mixtures are getting a bit rich, it leans them off. If the mixtures are getting a bit lean, it richens them up. This causes the mixtures to fluctuate rapidly around 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio - what's called the stoichiometric ratio. The ECU aims to keep the mixtures at this number because its there where the cat converter works best at cleaning up the exhaust. However, an air/fuel of 14.7 doesn't give the best power, so when you put your foot down, the ECU forgets about closed loop and goes instead into an operating system called 'Open Loop'. This just means that it ignores the output of the oxy sensor, instead picking the right amounts of fuel from its internal memories. Typically, the air/fuel ratio outside of closed loop might jump to 13:1, then 12:1 and then even richer still at 10 or 11:1. The final typical operating approach is when the injectors are stopped completely - yes, they're actually switched off sometimes even when the car is driving along! This happens on the over-run - you're travelling along at 100 km/h, reach an 80 km/h sign and lift your foot. The ECU will then turn off the injectors until either you reapply the accelerator or the engine speed drops to near idle revs. Like all things, these ideas apply to most cars - not all. Some Porsches, for example, stay in closed loop all the time - even when the mixtures are richer than 14.7:1. In other words, the oxygen sensor (a special one) is used to give mixture feedback to the ECU is all operating conditions. Other cars have a 'lean cruise' system, where on the open highway the mixtures will gradually lean out to say 15 or 16:1, so saving fuel. But for most cars on the road, the above approach is used. The system will stay in 'Open Loop' until the following conditions are met: 1. The O2 sensor has varying voltage output, showing that it is hot enough to operate properly. (This depends on temperature) 2. The coolant sensor is above a specified temperature about 40oC/104oF. 3. A specific amount of time has elapsed after starting the engine. The specific values for the above conditions vary with different engines and are stored in the mem-cal. When these conditions are met, the system goes into 'Closed Loop' operation. In 'Closed Loop', the ECM will calculate the air/fuel ratio (injector on-time) based on the various sensors but mainly the O2 sensor. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.

ok, going by this thought process, when coasting (in neutral) the engine is simply spinning by momentum, until i press the gas and then it "restarts"? i can't believe this. teh rpms stay a constant amount, around 750, if it was strictly momentum they would go down. they would have too due to drag, both internally and parasitic (accessory drive belts).you simply can't get around those two objects and they will defeat momentum. so there as to be some fuel going into the engine to keep rpms at the set idle. and in old cars especially. i mean there was an idle screw on that carb for a reason, no? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee We were talking about engine braking. Like going down a hill in 3rd gear at 3k rpm. The injector load would be @ 0%. The gravitational constant, minus friction, minus parasitic loss etc, the engine would be kept at an rpm ABOVE idle due to gravity and momentum. Once the rpm's dip down close to idle, the injectors would start the combustion process again, keeping the engine at/slightly above idle. Same principle applies when slowing down using the engine on any surface grade, not the brakes (open loop mode). In neutral, this does not happen, only in gear, above idle speed. Once the revs cross that point of needing fuel to maintain operation, the injectors turn on & the PCM returns to closed loop mode.

And starters are more expensive than $10. No fuel is needed to keep momentum until the revs are around idle. The engine will continue to move on its own without fuel.

I have the prototype t/s parameters, but not the production ones. I'm sure Mark will test a couple & post them to the website. Prototype had a xmax of 22mm. Anyways, for these prices: http://www.mach5audio.com/zen/index.php?ma...18b01ed2c767b2d Mark has some winners in his stable.

The IXL-10s sound sweet as well.

DECELERATION MODE This is a CLOSED LOOP mode. During deceleration the following inputs are received by the PCM: * A/C status * Battery voltage * Inlet/Intake air temperature * Engine coolant temperature * Crankshaft Position * Exhaust gas oxygen content * Knock sensor * Manifold absolute pressure * Throttle position sensor * IAC motor control changes in response to MAP sensor feedback The PCM may receive a closed throttle input from the throttle position sensor (TPS) when it senses an abrupt decrease in manifold pressure. This indicates a hard deceleration (open loop). In response, the PCM may momentarily turn off the injectors. This helps improve fuel economy, emissions and engine braking. Straight from the Neon FSM.

Here: http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?t=264253 Same applies for your Stratus, if its a 5 speed. Different if you are automatic.

Brought to you by the local area hack job pot head. It's a head from a turbo sprint. Beautiful work eh?

Yep, zero, unless it is reving very low (>1500rpm in my Sentra's case). It uses the engine's momentum to engine brake while going down the hill, consuming no fuel. If more people knew this, then we'd have less brake failures on steep grades.

Doesn't idle while moving, unless the clutch is engaged & you are coasting.
