Hypthetical;
If I were to run straight through to the muffler without a CC, what would happen?
Would I gain power?
Would I gain fuel efficiency?
How would either of them come about? Exhaust flow rates, sensor based computer control, magic faerie dust?
Will there be any damage to the engine?
Will running CC-less instantly void your car for rego/roadworthy in any of the Aussie states
Can you possibly still pass env without a CC, through mechanical genius, magical faerie dust, or using ethanol fuel?
Will we ever get a decent Prime Minister?
There a lot of questions I have about CC's, and their effects on the environment. From what I have heard....rumour and hearsay mostly...they at least USED to kill xx% of your power while saving the environment from car AIDS...which to me means chewing more fuel to get the same power/distance etc. But at what ratio. Seems a little re-active than pro-active but that's an opinion based based on the hear-say and old at that. But the example drives home the point of me wanting to find and reaffirm the facts.
I'm after cold hard facts ;) Citable evidence if possible (ie a link to real numbers from studies and not jsut govvie/corporate nonsense). I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this forkin thing and hopefully help a few souls too. To many govvie regs nowadays based on spurious evidence.
And thanks in advance, guys. I'm trying to get some research done on this now but not having access to a decent mechanical workshop kind of makes it a purely academic affair for now.
