Superbike Kawasaki Versys650 Commercial Video Clips.
Superbike Kawasaki Versys650 Kawasaki introduced the Versys, a middleweight motorcycle with a standard riding posture, to the European and Canadian markets at the end of 2006, and to the US market in 2007. The name Versys is a portmanteau of the words "versatile system," suggesting a system of riding attributes intended to offer versatility. Based on the Ninja 650R, the bike's 650 cc liquid cooled 4-stroke parallel twin engine has been retuned for more bottom-end and mid-range torque. This is achieved with revised inlet and exhaust cams with shorter valve duration. This will move peak torque lower down the rev range providing a better throttle response at low revs. In addition a balance tube has been added between the exhaust headers to smooth out power delivery. As the bike is primarily designed for city and back-road (pavement) riding, the fuel injection system has been mapped to give strong throttle response in the mid-range from 30006000 rpm. This lowering of peak torque in the rev range gives a trade off against peak power output. The current ER-6 produces a claimed 71 bhp (53 kW) at 8500 rpm, but in comparison the Versys' peak power output is 63 bhp (47 kW) at 8000rpm. Peak torque is 61 N·m (45 ft·lbf) at 6800 rpm. A similar approach was recently deployed by Honda with their CBF1000 model. Compared to the ER-6, the Versys has a redesigned sub-frame, new exhaust header design, and redesigned suspension. The Versys replaces the standard non-adjustable suspension of ...

And Honda's CR-V compact sport utilities, you get function, form, and overall great quality that you would expect among one of the leading automotive manufacturers. With the sport utility market slowing down due to sluggish sales and rising gas prices, current owners of these prestigious sport utilities are furiously looking for hot performance products one can buy to increase performance and fuel economy. Here are some of the hottest products that are found at most retailers.
Performance Air Filters - No car, truck or SUV is complete without putting a performance air filter in there. Cheap and easy to install (averaging only -55 per), these filters replace your existing stock filter within minutes. These higher flowing filters will increase both power and fuel efficiency with it's design to make the engine breathe in more air therefore seeing some of those gains. Additionally, it will be one less part you will have to replace because these are cleanable and reusable. Applications for the Pilot 3.5 V6 and the CR-V 2.2L and 2.4L fours are widely available through K&N, Airaid, and AEM. And retailers such as Wal-Mart, Autozone and PepBoys keep these in stock. As a result, a performance air filter is a spectacular add on that will pay dividends in no time.
Custom Exhaust System - Another great add on is a performance exhaust system. Performance exhausts can be as simple as just replacing your existing muffler or changing your entire system, forward of the exhaust manifold. What you gain in return is a great sounding exhaust and better power and economy when the gases dispel easier. Flowmaster, Borla, and Magnaflow sell mufflers and bolt on kits that usually takes half a day to install using basic hand tools. There are also various exhaust systems for the Honda Pilot and CR-V models that come with warranties, look out for those as well. Don't leave a great sounding exhaust system off that list of goods to purchase for your SUV.
Some other great products to consider for your Honda Pilot or CR-V are engine management control modules for lowering automatic transmission shift points for enhanced fuel economy and power. Brake upgrades are not a bad choice either, simply replacing your existing rotors with a cross-drilled variety or slotted will go a long way in preventing brake fade and excessive heating. And another great upgrade is a conversion to either electric or water/gas hybrids. Especially with the rising cost of fuel these days, hybrids are making that return to stardom with its proven rise in gas economy. Plus the IRS will pay you tax credits for owning a clean fuel vehicle. For more information on how you can transform your Pilot or CR-V into a hybrid inexpensively, please visit my site link below.
For vehicle venting, one brand to be considered is the Flowmaster exhaust system. The following are some reviews that were given by previous users regarding how these systems work in combination with their specific vehicles.
Some customers remarked that their Flowmaster exhaust has an aggressive and bassy sound. The exhaust system on his car made the V6 sound bad, and by bad I mean bad ass. Overall, for them, their Flowmaster has a great value with no disadvantages at all.
Some more raters said that their new system gives off a great sound even when at idle and no flaws that they can see as of yet. Other previous customers said that their aftermarket exhaust has a good sound, noticeable increase in power and an increase in gas mileage of their vehicles. The system is said to be tough and rust resistant being entirely made of stainless steel. The only weakness one previous customer says for his system is that other people do not like the dull stainless steel look of this exhaust system.
Another rater said that his Flowmaster exhaust system is quiet (although this feature may not be a strength for some), powerful sounding (deep but not raspy at all). One drawback for this exhaust system though (according to him) is that it is a little bit expensive as compared to other brands.
For car enthusiasts, it is important to be able to upgrade the exhaust system of their respective vehicles as this would greatly affect the performance of the vehicle in total. As most original equipment exhaust systems do not effectively add the type of performance that aftermarket systems achieve. This is why there are a lot of free flowing exhausts in the market with little back pressure, one only has to choose the brand or model that suits him.
It is important that these products get a product review from its users because this is a way for the manufacturer to prove their products worth as well as let future customers know what they are getting. If the manufacturers product is of good quality, customer reviews help advertise the product. Word gets around about a good product and it is the best way to stay in business for a long time to come. Since feedback is already coming from the customers and not on the company itself, other interested customers will be further convinced about the effectiveness of the product. This is just one of the many brands and options that a customer can choose from. When asked "should you buy"? Based on the reviews that customers have given, it can be safely said that the Flowmaster exhaust system can work well with any specific vehicle it is manufactured for.
Most of today's new homes are highly insulated and practically air tight. While this is great as far as cost effective energy bills go, the down side to tightly insulated homes is poor indoor air quality. As windows and doors are typically kept shut throughout the day, moisture, and stale air that can carry contaminants and pathogens circulates inside homes and gives rise to various problems including mold and mildew, health problems, ruined furniture, peeling paint etc. This is why it is important that you take every step to improve the quality of your indoor air, which can be achieved through mechanical ventilation.
An excellent way to ventilate your home thoroughly, efficiently, and cheaply is to install exhaust fans in your home. This article explains what exhaust fans are, their different types, how to select the best one for your home, and also the benefits of exhaust ventilation fans.
What Are Exhaust Fans
An exhaust fan is a mechanical ventilation device that helps to draw out stale and impure air from your home and bring in fresh air, thereby improving the quality of indoor air. Exhaust fans are typically ducted to the exteriors of your house, through which bad indoor air can effectively be removed from your living space.
Types Of Exhaust Fans
Exhaust fans are classified into various types, mainly depending on the type of mount and the location where you need to install the fans. The different types are:
1. Ceiling Mounted Exhaust Fans: As the name suggests, ceiling exhaust fans are those which are installed in the ceiling. Such fans expel stale air from your home upwards through the roof. The fan is connected to ducting, which is exhausted outside the home via an external vent, like a roof cap or soffit exhaust vent.
2. Inline Exhaust Fans: Unlike ceiling exhaust fans that are installed directly into the ceiling, inline exhaust fans are typically mounted in-between ducting, hence the name inline fan. For instance, if you wanted to ventilate an area that did not have clearance or space for a ceiling mount fan, you would make use of inline exhaust fans to ventilate such areas. The exhaust fan would be placed in between the ductwork and the stale air would travel through the ducts and ultimately be expelled from your home. Since inline fans are not mounted directly to the ceiling, they are very quiet. When installing an inline fan, to reduce noise, we recommend using an insulated flex duct that is at least eight feet long from the intake port on the ceiling to the inline fan.
Inline exhaust fans are ideal for exhausting areas or rooms where you cannot, or do not wish to install the exhaust fan directly. Since these types of exhaust fans are mounted in remote areas, they are also referred to as remote mounted exhaust fans. Inline exhaust fans can either be single-port (exhausting from a single area) or multi-port (exhausting from multiple areas).
3. Wall Mounted Exhaust Fans: These exhaust fans are installed on walls. Since they are installed on exterior walls of the home and not on interior walls, the stale air has a direct route to the outside of your home and thus no duct work is required in installing these exhaust fans.
4. Combination Exhaust Fans: Exhaust fans are also available as combination units. You have the choice of a fan-light combination where the exhaust fan provides illumination as well, or heat-fan-light combination wherein you get a heater, light and ventilating fan all in a single device.
5. Exterior Remote Mounted Exhaust Fans: While most other exhaust fans are installed inside your home and push stale air out, exterior remote mounted fans are installed outside your home and pull out stale indoor air instead of pushing it out. The main benefit of these exhaust fans is that regardless of however noisy they are, most of the noise remains outside your home.
6. Kitchen Range Exhaust Fans: These fans are mounted inside the range hood over your kitchen stove. Such fans not only help to rid your kitchen of stale air but also help to expel bad odors and reduce moisture levels in your cooking area.
These several types of exhaust fans can be used for complete ventilation of your home including intermittent local ventilation for baths, kitchens, dryer rooms; continuous whole house ventilation throughout your home, and for exhausting hard-to-air spaces such as crawl spaces, attics, and basements.
Benefits Of Exhaust Fans
Exhaust fans are very effective at ventilating your home and other living spaces. Without proper ventilation, the air inside your home can get filled with harmful contaminants and disease causing pathogens.
Pollutants such as pesticides, harmful gases, smoke, pet dander, lead, asbestos, dust mites, paint fumes, grease etc get released into indoor air due to daily activities such as cooking, smoking, burning fuel, bathing, renovating etc. In addition to these pollutants, activities such as bathing, cooking, and washing also release excess moisture in the air and make indoor air extremely humid. If not ventilated adequately, these added pollutants and increased moisture levels can decrease the quality of indoor air greatly, thereby leading to various problems such as:
Health problems including asthma, allergies, nose bleeds, skin rashes, headaches, nausea, and other breathing disorders. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, a large percentage of the over 20 million annual asthma cases in the US alone can be attributed to bad indoor air quality.
Split, warped and rotted furniture due to excess humidity.
Cracked and peeling paint on the walls.
Formation of fungus, mold spores, and mildew, which in turn lead to severe health problems.
Thus, by using exhaust fans to ventilate your home efficiently and completely, thereby improving indoor air quality, you can rid yourself and your home of all these problems.
Recommended Sizing Of Exhaust Fans
To ventilate your home effectively, it is important that the exhaust fan you choose has the capacity to exhaust the intended space completely. To ensure this, you must select the right sized fan for your needs. Here's a look at how to size exhaust fans properly.
1. Location of the Exhaust Fan and Air Changes Per Hour:
Where you intend to install the exhaust fan will have a direct bearing on its size. As per the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI), different locations in your home require varying Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) in order to be ventilated properly. Here are the ACH requirements recommended by HVI.
8 ACH for bathrooms
15 ACH for kitchens
6 ACH for rooms other than bath and kitchen
ACH refers to the number of times the air should be completely changed in an hour. Thus, an 8 ACH recommendation for bathrooms means the exhaust fan should have the capacity to completely change the air in the bathroom 8 times in one hour.
All exhaust fans are rated in CFM, which refers to Cubic Feet per Minute. To determine how large an exhaust fan you need (in other words, CFM rating of the fan) here's what you need to do.
Sizing Bathroom Exhaust Fans:
First and foremost, measure the dimensions (length, width, and height) of the room and then calculate the volume of air in the room by multiplying all these 3 numbers. For instance, if your bathroom has dimensions of 6 x 10 x 8, then the air volume in the bathroom is 480 cubic feet. Thus, the exhaust fan needs to ventilate 480 cubic feet of air in order to achieve 1 ACH. But since the recommended ACH for bathrooms is 8, the fan will effectively need to ventilate 480 x 8 cubic feet, which equals 3840 cubic feet in one hour. Fan ratings are per minute, thus by dividing 3840 by 60, you can achieve the desired CFM rating for the fan which in this case is 64.
A simpler way of determining the CFM rating for bathroom exhaust fans is to simply multiply the length of the bathroom by its width. For every 1 sq. ft. of floor area, you need 1 CFM. Thus, in the above example, area would be 6 x 10 = 60, thus recommended fan size would be 60 CFM.
However, if your bathroom is more than 100 sq. ft. in size, you have to add the different fixtures in your bathroom to reach the desired CFM rating. The recommended CFM for different fixtures is:
· Shower - 50 CFM
· Toilet - 50 CFM
· Bathtub - 50 CFM
· Whirlpool tub - 100 CFM
Thus, if your bathroom is more than 100 sq. ft. in size and has a toilet and shower, you will need an exhaust fan with 100 CFM rating. If a bathtub is also present the CFM rating will increase to 150 and so on.
Sizing Kitchen Exhaust Fans:
When sizing an exhaust fan for the kitchen, you have to take into account the location of your kitchen cooking range (if without range hood) or the size and location of the range hood if there is one. Here are the recommended CFM ratings for kitchen range hood exhaust fans:
Generally speaking, for every 10,000 BTU of the range, it is recommended a minimum of 100 CFM. So if your range is rated at 50,000 btu's, you would consider getting a fan with at least 500 CFM.
2. Understanding Static Pressure and Measuring Equivalent Duct Length:
When sizing an exhaust fan that does not open directly to the outside but is ducted, it is important to ensure that the exhaust fan has the capability to move stale air throughout the duct and ultimately to the outside. Here, we first need to understand what static pressure and equivalent duct length is.
Static Pressure: Inside every duct, there is a constant pressure being exerted at any point from all directions. When an exhaust fan moves air through the duct, the air counters resistance from this pressure which is known as static pressure. Thus, an exhaust fan has to have the ability to overcome the static pressure in a duct so as to effectively duct stale air to the outside of your home. This can be done by calculating the equivalent duct length of any duct.
Calculating Equivalent Duct Length (EDL): Simply measuring the length of a duct is not enough to know how much static pressure an exhaust fan has to overcome. Ducts may have one or more elbows, turns, or wall caps which add to the static pressure in a duct. Thus, you have to calculate the equivalent duct run and not the actual duct run so as to size an exhaust fan properly.
The static pressure in any duct run differs according to the material of the duct, number of elbows and turns, exterior wall cap and wall jacks etc. Listed below are the standard values for different duct components.
Smooth metal duct: Actual duct length x 1
Flex aluminum duct: Actual duct length x 1.25 (for 4"diameter duct)
Actual duct length x 1.50 (for 6"diameter duct)
Insulated flex duct: Actual duct length x 1.50 (for 4"diameter duct)
Actual duct length x 2.00 (for 6"diameter duct)
Wall caps and roof caps: 30 feet for each cap (for 4"diameter duct)
40 feet for each cap (for 6"diameter duct)
Elbows and turns: 15 feet for each (for 4"diameter duct)
20 feet for each (for 6"diameter duct)
Using the above values, you can calculate the equivalent straight duct length that an exhaust fan has to overcome so as to push stale air outside your home and counter static pressure effectively.

Marine Diesels From Air Filters to Exhaust Systems
Fuel by itself is of no use whatsoever: it needs oxygen from the air outside in order to burn. At the most basic level, this happens its own accord: as the piston falls during the induction stroke, air rushes in past the open inlet valve to fill the expanding space. Then, when the compression and power strokes are complete, the exhaust valve opens and the rising piston pushes the exhaust gas out ready for a fresh charge of clean air.
In practice, though, the engine needs an air filter to stop dirt, moisture and bits of rubbish being sucked into its cylinders, and needs an exhaust system to dispose of the hot exhaust gases safely and quietly. To save having a separate filter and exhaust pipe for each cylinder of a multi-cylinder engine the incoming air is fed to the cylinders through tubular structures called inlet manifolds, and the exhaust gases are carried away through similar structures called the exhaust manifolds.
Air filters
Unlike their cousins that power tractors and earth-moving machinery, marine diesels usually operate in a relatively clean environment: there's little danger of them having to contend with straw, dust or roadside litter. This means that their air filters can be relatively simple, so some engines operate perfectly well for years with little more than a metal box with a few baffles in it.
Most, however, have something a little more sophisticated, involving either wire gauze or porous paper.
Paper tends to restrict the air flow, so to make up for this its area has to be increased by being folded into a concertina shape. It's also difficult to clean, so once a paper filter becomes clogged it has to be replaced with a new one.
Wire gauze doesn't restrict the air flow as much, but it is less effective because the gaps between the strands of wire are bigger than those between the fibres of paper. To counter this problem - and to minimise corrosion - wire gauze filters need to be dipped in oil from time to time, so that dust sticks to them instead of passing straight through.
Exhaust systems
When it comes to exhaust systems, the boot is on the other foot: road vehicles and agricultural machinery have an easy time of it. Their engines are in compartments that are open to the atmosphere but sealed away from their drivers and passengers, so all that's required is a pipe connected to the exhaust manifold, with a few baffles to reduce the noise. A few marine installations adopt a similar 'dry' exhaust system, usually in the form of an exhaust pipe sticking straight up from the engine compartment, with a weighted flap to stop rain or spray running down inside and heat resistant lagging to minimise the risk of fire or burns.
For pleasure craft, though, wet exhaust systems are pretty well standard, with water from the engine's cooling system used to cool the exhaust gas. The water is mixed with the exhaust gas in the injection bend, where it almost immediately turns into steam but in doing so reduces the temperature of the exhaust gases from almost 500° C to about 70° C - cool enough to allow flexible tubing and GRP to be used for the rest of the exhaust system.
At that reduced temperature, the steam condenses back into water. That is why the mixing takes place in a bend: it protects the engine against the possibility of the cooling water running back through the system and into the cylinders.
If the engine is below the waterline, or very close to it, however, the injection bend alone is not enough: there's a danger that water already in the exhaust might set up a siphon effect that would allow sea water from outside to make its way back through the exhaust system and into the engine. To stop this, many boats have an extra loop in the exhaust system, known as a swan-neck. To guard against the possibility of waves pushing water up the exhaust pipe, some boats have a one-way flap covering the end of the pipe where it emerges from the hull; on some sailing yachts you may even find a hand-operated gate valve that seals the exhaust pipe completely when the engine is not being used.
The vital thing about any exhaust system that it must not restrict the flow of exhaust gases beyond a certain limit, because if exhaust can't get out of the cylinders, there will be no room for fresh air to get in. The effect is exactly the same as if the air filter were clogged: starved of oxygen, the engine will not be able to burn its fuel, so it will lose power and produce black smoke.
More power
Any engine is simply a device for converting the energy released from burning fuel into mechanical power. None of them are very good at it: well over 60 per cent of energy released from the fuel is expended as heat and vibration, rather than as use mechanical work. Engine designers are continually working to improve efficiency but the fact remains that the power an engine can produce will always be limited by the rate at which it can burn fuel.
What to Consider Before Changing the Motorcycle's Exhaust System
There are many people in the world whose love for their motorcycles borders on obsession. The reason for this lies behind what a bike has to offer to its owner. A motorcycle is a source of pride, a symbol of freedom, a medium of self expression and sometimes, even a way to impress. Owing to such love and devotion for motorcycles, many bike owners try to make it as effective and attractive as possible by modifying it. The first thing that any bike owner intent on modifying his bike would consider is the exhaust system of the bike.
Although the final reason is to make a bike more than what it already is, there are numerous reasons why bike owners look to replace the existing Original Equipment Manufacturer's system with aftermarket motorcycle exhausts. Still, replacing the existing exhaust system with new ones is not as simple as it sounds. The choices between multiple motorcycle exhausts can easily stump the uninitiated bike enthusiast. The following is a list of things that a bike owner intent on changing the exhaust system on his bike needs to think about before purchasing any one product.
Agenda:
1. The prospective buyer needs to understand his own purposes for changing the existing exhaust system on his bike with new aftermarket exhausts. The reason for this is that aftermarket motorcycle exhausts are made with the final goal in mind. If the owner wants a lot of noise then he would go for a particular exhaust system, just like fuel efficiency will send him in another direction.
Material:
2. The exhaust systems of motorcycles are made from a variety of things. Materials from which bike exhausts are made of include titanium, carbon fiber, aluminum, stainless steel etc. The choice of the material depends on a number of things as well. The prospective buyer will have to evaluate the weight of the new system and its clearance from the floor not to mention the look that the new exhaust system will give to his bike.
Model:
3. Exhaust systems need to conform to the bike's model. For example, any exhaust system will not fit a chopper. Therefore, there are specific exhaust systems for almost each and every motorcycle model ever created by man.
Noise:
4. Noise is a major consideration for many motorcycle enthusiasts. In fact, there are sects of bikers in the world who believe that a bike that does not make noise is not worth their attention. However, with the noise factor, the person will also need to analyze the laws of his state and country because many governments have legal regulations against bikes creating too much noise.
If the prospective owner is sure of what he wants from the whole exercise then it should not be a problem for him to find it online. However, in case the preferences are still not set in stone, then the prospective owner will need to do significant amounts of research as the multiple options available online will stump him.
Exhaust silencer, which is also called muffler (American speaking), is an indispensable part of the automobile's exhaust system. Muffler works to minimize the exhaust noise produced by the engine during driving periods. It is hard to imagine how awful if the automobile is made without a muffler. The unendurable harsh noise will absolutely disturb the environment and people's daily life.
If you find your existing muffler is broken, make sure to find a brand new one to install on your vehicle. Similarly, if any other part of your vehicle goes wrong, do get a brand new corresponding one to install on your vehicle. This is all to ensure you a safe driving in the future. Take headlights for examples, if you don't replace your headlights in time, car accidents must take place.
There are many different kinds of aftermarket mufflers on the automotive aftermarket, which come in many different material, styles and tip colors. One thing you should pay attention to is choose the right one that is specially made for your car model. For instance, if your car is Honda Civic, you can only choose Honda Civic muffler fitment; if your car is Nissan Altima, you can only choose Nissan Altima muffler fitment. These mufflers are usually of high performance and sold at reasonable prices.
If you want to save time on looking for auto parts, try online shopping, then. There are a large number of auto parts on offer online, too, the majority of which are also sold at low prices. Many online spare parts provide good customer services.
Are you looking to upgrade your original air intake to cold air intake? Read information on cold air intake systems here. What does it do? It helps provide the engine with cool air to reduce the temperature. This will increase performance of the car. This is a basic upgrade that if anyone wants to increase the performance of his or her vehicle, this should be it.
Why don't cars come with this as stock? Because it causes a lot of noise due to the huge diameter of the system. Even those most are street legal, it might become illegal some time in the future. Car manufacturers do not want to be reliable when the change does occur. That would make them lose a lot of money.
An aftermarket cold air intake is generally shorter than the original to maximize airflow. The air filter is generally less restrictive so the filter can become weaker in quality to filter out dirt.
Make sure you read the details of the product before purchasing. Some brands will void the warranty of your car. I wouldn't recommend that especially if it voids the warranty of your car engine.
Not all brands and models are created equal. The higher priced cold air intakes are specifically designed to perform better based on the materials that were used to make it.
People usually install exhaust system as the second upgrade to go with it. This will increase the engine's efficiency to take air in as well as getting air out. Treating the engine well can ultimately make the engine last longer so that might save money by upgrading parts of your car. You can also install headers and other parts related to the engine to give it a longer life. Also, this will make your car go faster due to higher amounts of horsepower.
Developing Diagnostic Strategies - Using Exhaust Gas Analysis
Diagnosing emission failures, using the exhaust gas analyzer can be a task. Auto repair is constantly evolving and has become a technical field to work in. Using the proper knowledge, you can find the right auto mechanic to repair your emission failure and be on the road to a cleaner atmosphere along with a fatter wallet. Here we will examine carbon emissions and 5-gas analysis.
Lambda, Combustion Efficiency, Carbon Gases, CAT Efficiency and EVAP Emissions:
- Lambda is perfect air fuel ratio 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel. The closer you get to Lambda, the less carbon emissions. Lambda is a great diagnostic tool, more fuel and less air means rich condition, which will cause the CO and HC gases to be high. We will discuss carbon emissions further in the article.
- Combustion efficiency speaks for itself, the more efficient the combustion is, the cleaner the emissions gases are and the better the fuel mileage is. For checking combustion on your vehicle, consult an auto repair technician with the proper equipment. Carbon Gases pollute the earths atmosphere and can cause a number of Ozone problems including "Acid Rain". There are three very harmful gases; Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbons and Oxides of nitrogen.
- Carbon monoxide or (CO), this harmful gas will usually be out of range when there is a fuel problem and the vehicle is rich, considering it is a reading of unburned fuel or raw fuel escaping the tailpipe.
- Hydrocarbons or (HC), this gas is will be seen usually with an ignition problem. HC is read in parts per million or grams per mile. It is the reading of partially burned fuel escaping the tail pipe. Both of these carbon emission gases can be easily diagnosed, using the correct procedure and checks, including your Lambda Numbers.
- Oxides of Nitrogen or (NOX), A gas that has been known to cause acid rain. NOX basically boils down to Cylinder pressure or temperature. The more pressure or heat in the cylinder the higher the NOX will be. If a cylinder exceeds 2,500 degrees the vehicle will produces excessive NOX. This can be achieved in different ways including the exhaust gas recirculation or (EGR) system.
- Catalytic Converter or (CAT) efficiency, the catalytic converter is the most important emissions component on a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. The CAT cleans the carbon emissions to virtually zero when it is 100% efficient. Engineers have created an Ozone preserving automotive part, which needs to be in excellent operating condition.
- Evaporative Emissions or (EVAP) one of the most complicated emission repairs, if you do not have the training and equipment. EVAP emissions pollutes the Ozone 10 times more the vehicles tailpipe because to the CAT. Evaporative Emissions is actual fuel vapor that is creating carbon gases. Gasoline is a huge carcinogen, which means it causes cancer and is very harmful, be careful gassing up your ride. The invention of the catalytic converter has significantly reduced tailpipe emissions therefore EVAP emissions is now the major contributor to carbon gases. I have experienced many different problems concerning the EVAP system and have a great skill for Evaporative system diagnosis.
Most importantly, find the proper auto repair facility to diagnose and repair harmful emissions failures. Not only will this preserve our Ozone, it will also save you money. The best way to locate a great auto mechanic is to look at their emissions work. If they are poor on diagnosing carbon emission failures and do not have a 5-gas analyzer, then they do not have the training and or equipment to diagnose a drive ability problem or check engine light. I have worked on cars all of my life and currently perform quality auto repair. In this article I have examined carbon emissions and 5-Gas analysis.
Hyperflo Exhaust Systems For Honda CBR 600RR and 1000RR
It's been a few years now since Hyperflo entered the field for quality aftermarket exhaust systems for the Honda CBR 600RR and 1000RR bikes. There has been quite a buzz surrounding these exhausts and their popularity has grown rapidly due to the performance and design. Those who have experienced them are quick to step up and defend the exhaust when others who are not familiar spout foolishness about them. There is no denying that Hyperflo will be a major player in the aftermarket exhaust arena.
Part of the attention is coming from the look of the exhaust with it's smooth design and the multiple options for finishes and tips. In many ways it offers something that no other aftermarket exhaust can offer. Just ask any Hyperflo owner and you will hear all about the great features that make this exhaust a favorite. Perhaps at the top of the list will be the attempt to describe the incredible unique sound that these exhausts create.
After all, a big part of the reason we ride the bike is to capture attention and this exhaust does that very well. The sound is simply unbelievable and once heard seems to lodge itself in one's self conscience with the intense desire to own one or the gratification that you do.
Engineered to perform well inside and out the Hyperflo exhaust will capture the attention of all who hear it and feel it. It is something that is hard to put into words and can only be fully appreciated by actually hearing it. Even the videos on YouTube don't fully capture the deep full sound that is Hyperflo.
Greatplanes Cherokee 40 ARF with Saito FA-80 2nd flight! Video Clips.
.........so this is the second flight of my Cherokee, equipped with a Saito FA-80 4-stroke engine! On this video i used an APC 13x8 prop and as you see the engine unloads beautifully in the air. Flaps are very very effective and i may have too much throw set on them. The only drawback was the muffler--AGAIN. Due to the big mass that is ~3in away from the exhaust port, the forces and torsions are high enough to unscrew it. So, i have already bought the original Saito muffler that has a shape of a cylinder cut in the appropriate length. NEW Saito muffler here: www.rcuniverse.com
