Airtrek Turbo 4WD
-
any comments on this car? the technical specification on this car is rather nice.. 240hp on a 2.0 litre engine. the specs look better than my current BMW 320ci and toyota camry 2.2
design quite nice and price is affordable.. anybody know why it isnt that common on the roads? -
not common on the road? you sure? this ride is great,and i have seen alot on the road already...
-
i have seen it on the road.. but its not really that common as other cars.. heh.. maybe its just me? *shrugs*
i tend to see more continental cars..
i intend to get the airtrek turbo after selling off the toyota camry.. probably few months later.. gotta love the sleek design of the airtrek! -
Hmmm...the best person to ask is Heng@
-

-

oh.. den wat does a bov do?
sorry for so many questions.. lol.. i only appreciate cars.. but i'm just not into part names and stuff..
*edit*
oh.. ok.. i did research on it.. is it that thing that makes a car "sneeze" each time the gear change? lol..
but does it improve car performance in anyway? is it expensive to install one? i wanna install it on ah-chek toyota camry =X

BOV is more for turbo-charged cars...
-
Blow-off Valve is for releasing air if it becomes too pressurised...
I've forgotten why... -
BOV is for turbo charged cars only, its for releasing pressure build up withint the turbo in ur car and it prevents ur turbo ball bearing from spinning backwards.Originally posted by zerocool85:oh.. den wat does a bov do?

hello. yes have an ATR, but its in sg. I'm in UK now. It does 0-100 under 8s, thats guranteed. Auto with seleshift, so its very nice for everyday driving. rear boot space is not extremely fantastic, but more than adequate. If u are just getting the ATR, not the Ralliart one which I have, then it comes with 16 inch rims stock and fabric upholstery. for 6k more, we got 17 inch sports rims and black leather ralliart upholstery with red trim. dun like the sound system, because its a bit weak on the bass, but then i love bass heavy sounds, so most ppl will find it ok. its strength is not on a start fromstandstill, but a rolling start. basically a nice car if u have a family to consider. ATR ralliart that we have is 120k, that includes the optional sunroof. w/o sunroof should be 118k. that price is back in 2003 march. now should have dropped. hope that helps. cheers.

U have driven it yourself? Else how u know teh ride is great simply by seeing it on the road many times? Nice is subjective. Hows the ride? Hows the body roll? The transmission loss? The car is boosting at how many bar? More information will be nice.Originally posted by Danisdead101times:not common on the road? you sure? this ride is great,and i have seen alot on the road already...

A blow-off valve is mounted in the intake plumbing between the
turbocharger compressor and the throttle plate. The blow-off valve is a
second safety measure against the turbocharger over-boosting and damaging
the engine.
The blow-off valve is more commonly used to keep the turbocharger spinning
when the throttle plate is suddenly closed. When the turbocharger is
generating maximum boost pressure at full throttle and then the throttle
is suddenly closed, compressed air coming from the compressor slams
against the throttle, generating extremely high pressures that travel
backwards to the compressor stopping the compressor from spinning. When
the throttle plate is again opened, the engine must spool the turbocharger
shaft again. The effects of this high pressure can also be very damaging
to the turbocharger.
