I know on many of the cars I've had in the past there are small little "freebies" that you can sometimes do to gain a horsepower or two. Are there any thing like that on the Ralliart?

It's typically something like removing an unnecessary part from the intake system or adjusting some kind of sensor or something like that.

Have fun !

 

those are pretty generic. no Ralliart specific ones?

 

i would steer u away and say no/ though im sure there are some . the ECU on the RA is to sensitive and many run into problems short after, and its not free after that.

 

heh....modern cars. so wierd, lol.

 

Not free but you can sometimes make decent gains by adding a phenolic spacer on the intake manifold. You can also look at a coolant bypass on the throttle body. Usually pretty cheap on both items.

Hey Michael, were can I get the phenolic spacer and the coolant bypass?

Thanks

 

The coolant bypass is just a fitting that you can get anywhere. In the TB there are 2 coolant lines (entry and exit), just take them out, connect one to the other with that fitting and you are done. What this does theoretically is maintain the TB cooler, although I think you wont feel any difference since the engine bay gets so hot and the TB still gets very hot since heat passes through the IM, through the gasket and into it.

 

Mr. Ralliart, I can see about a phenolic spacer.

For the throttle body bypass of course it makes a difference! That, coupled with the phenolic spacer on a number of cars I've datalogged 10-15 degree C drop in charge temps. That translates to some horsepower.

 

How much cash do you have? Id say intake or something else relatively cheap....cheap thrills lol
