Nothing is going to eliminate the sound you are hearing, other than putting the stock intake back on. A VTA valve may make it worse, as youāre getting rid of metered air and temporarily richening the mixture. By how much? Probably not a lot, but itās not beneficial. A VTA valve may be loud...
Iām hearing an after fire/backfire pop in that video as well, which is what I think the OP is wondering about. The 2.3 loves to pop and burble and as others have said, the factory intake is designed to muffle any noises from the turbo/engine. I deem it normal.
It would roll away while in āparkā. Theyād figure it out š As far as I know, autos donāt actually go in to āparkā while at speed. That would be silly. The shifter will go in to āparkā, but the pawl isnāt going to engage.
How recent is that screenshot?
Idling is not good for an engine either. Plenty of proof of that too.
Beating on a cold engine, especially forced induction, is a great way to blow a head gasket.
I believe the dealer saw a small water stain in the air box and denied it. He did have a flush done, then spun a bearing or two I believe
A flush is meant for severely neglected engines that donāt get regular oil changes. Even then, Iād be cautious. It can loosen up sludge thatās in a āsafeā...
You started a thread about a well known product that has plenty of information on it. Youāre supposed to use it, spin a bearing, then come start a thread about it.
Absolutely. Itās about what gear you pick. Pop the clutch in second or third while free rolling and the engine will turn rather than lock tires and stop like it may do in first.
A lot of newer vehicles cut throttle if you press the gas and the brake at the same time. Itās to prevent old people from hitting both at the same time and ramming straight in to a McDonaldās. Thatās my thought at least.
Damn, that sucks. Iāve hopped in mine, thrown it in neutral and rolled it down the driveway without starting it. Iāve done this with many other manual trans vehicles and the Bronco is bad at stopping with no vacuum.
Whether throwing it in gear and letting the clutch out would have stopped you...
Well, yeah. You canāt compare results from different dynos. Even the same dyno on a different day will vary. The first run it made 470 tq. on the same dyno.
