Hi all, In most forums I have visited, there are usually a thread for member to get know to each other. There used to be one here, created back in 2002, but most pages were TCSS, well almost. So here come a fresh one, and I shall start first. @Carbon82 Nick(s): Carbon82 (aka 8559 / numberman in AsiaOne Forum) Gender: F (for father) Age: Old enough to recognize cars from the '60s Marital Status: Happily married with 2 kids Occupation (official): HSE / EHS & Business Continuity Professional Occupation (unofficial): Teller, driver, cook, baker, maid, handyman, motivational speaker, tutor... basically bao gao liao Car(s) owned: 2016 VW Sharan 380TSI (Current), 2012 Skoda Superb 2.0TSI, 2008 Honda Crossroad 1.8 i-VTEC, 2004 Honda Stream 2.0 i-VTEC, 2001 ES8 Honda Civic 1.5 VTi, 1996 Subaru Vivio Dream Car(s): Mercedes-Benz GLS 63 AMG, VW Kombi T1 Favorite Pastimes: Anything related to cars, surfing the web, cooking / baking, makan, photography (non-professional level), blaming the G (well I am Singaporean you know?) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alphabetical order...

I'm not a young chap here, that's for sure, just by counting my cars I've owned would be suffice to determine my age group. Here goes, Daihatsu Charade Honda Civic esi Hyundai Accent Hyundai Getz Hyundai Avante Subaru WRX Hyundai Accent Next car, no plan, because no money. The only car that I didn't modified or played, is WRX, because it has all the power I wanted. I took it to the track once to experience the trill. I lost to all the Malaysian trackies. They were cheap and fast. A full time Engineer who studied the wrong course regretfully and went into a wrong industry, I prefer arts and robotics. So I love to tinker much just about anything, from broken toys to breaking toys when I am young, to photography and on recent many years ago I started to ditch the still pictures and move on to motion pictures ( filming ) as my long term passion. I approached several car magazines and Facebook pages to "beg" for a part time job and hopefully the small income can fund my passion and moving forward to be able to see if I can work on something in the video filming genre to gain more recognition. In person, I am very open minded and straight forward. I can be very blunt and honest in my opinion too. Due to my star sign. LOL. So my post sometimes carries a hate mail .. haha. I give my intro 10/10. Swee ! As to my nickname and logo..that's a twist .. Car Lover Guy or Carl Over Guy , you decide. T4 is the acronym for my Youtube channel which means The Terrible Terri Talks, four tees , thus T4 As for the nickname, It''s suppose to be the former, I not gay.

Power Boosting Technology -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Basic Theory After multi-valve technology became standard in engine design, Variable Valve Timing becomes the next step to enhance engine output, no matter power or torque. As you know, valves activate the breathing of engine. The timing of breathing, that is, the timing of air intake and exhaust, is controlled by the shape and phase angle of cams. To optimise the breathing, engine requires different valve timing at different speed. When the rev increases, the duration of intake and exhaust stroke decreases so that fresh air becomes not fast enough to enter the combustion chamber, while the exhaust becomes not fast enough to leave the combustion chamber. Therefore, the best solution is to open the inlet valves earlier and close the exhaust valves later. In other words, the Overlapping between intake period and exhaust period should be increased as rev increases. Without Variable Valve Timing technology, engineers used to choose the best compromise timing. For example, a van may adopt less overlapping for the benefits of low speed output. A racing engine may adopt considerable overlapping for high speed power. An ordinary sedan may adopt valve timing optimise for mid-rev so that both the low speed drivability and high speed output will not be sacrificed too much. No matter which one, the result is just optimised for a particular speed. With Variable Valve Timing, power and torque can be optimised across a wide rpm band. The most noticeable results are: - The engine can rev higher, thus raises peak power. For example, Nissan's 2-litre Neo VVL engine output 25% more peak power than its non-VVT version. - Low-speed torque increases, thus improves drivability. For example, Fiat Barchetta's 1.8 VVT engine provides 90% peak torque between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm. Moreover, all these benefits come without any drawback. Variable Lift In some designs, valve lift can also be varied according to engine speed. At high speed, higher lift quickens air intake and exhaust, thus further optimise the breathing. Of course, at lower speed such lift will generate counter effects like deteriorating the mixing process of fuel and air, thus decrease output or even leads to misfire. Therefore the lift should be variable according to engine speed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright
