DIY-Pasang Vacuum Gauge

Belajar nyetir irit dengan penambahan indikator Vacuum Gauge

Vacuum Gauge Though little understood, the vacuum gauge is probably the best single indicator of your engine's health you can get. A Little Background When your car is idling-whether it's fuel injected or carbureted-the throttle plate or plates are restricting the amount of air the engine can breathe in. The pistons are attempting to "suck" the mixture past the throttle. (Of course, in reality, it is atmospheric pressure that is attempting to "push" air into the engine as the pistons travel downward on their intake strokes.) When throttle is closed, vacuum is high in the intake manifold, from the throttle plate(s) to the combustion chambers. By contrast, at wide open throttle there is relatively little restriction to outside air entering the intake manifold, so vacuum in the manifold is very low. A vacuum gauge reads pressure differences from atmospheric pressure, so the reading is zero in our "normal" sea of air. By convention, vacuum gauges in the US read "inches of Mercury." Reading the Gauge Unlike a fuel gauge, the vacuum gauge will keep you entertained with its instantaneous, wide-ranging movements. When you floor the accelerator pedal, you can watch manifold pressure (another word for vacuum) swing from strongly negative to nearly zero (atmospheric pressure). When your engine is "on the overrun," like using engine braking down a steep hill at high RPM, you'll see really high vacuum readings. Naturally, turbocharged and supercharged will show very different results, with readings swinging into the positive at high speed. IAP's vacuum gauge is not designed for turbo or supercharged vehicles. Your vacuum gauge is also a sort of "poor man's" fuel mileage indicator; when vacuum is low, you are burning more fuel. Absolute readings are not as useful as changes over time. That is, if you establish baseline readings under a variety of circumstances, you will know what to look for if your engine begins to deviate. Everything else aside, a high vacuum reading tends to indicate a healthy engine. Having said this, we can make generalities about the readings you can expect. Note that engines with performance camshafts tend to read lower vacuum. Readings are also lower at higher altitudes; the rule of thumb is approximately 1 inch of mercury for every 1,000 feet of altitude gain. The following readings will not apply to turbocharged engines, or cars with a separate venturi for each cylinder (like Weber DCOE or Dellorto carbs). All readings are inches of mercury (in. Hg.).

DIY-Pasang Ferrite Bead

Walo badanlagi sakit, ngoprek kendaraan mang gak bisa ditahan: A. Pasang ferrite beads atau ferrite chokes yang berfungsi mengurangi gangguan EMI (electromagnetic interference atau gangguan elektromagnetik) dan RFI (radio-frequency interference atau gangguan frekuensi radio). Ferrite beads berbentuk silinder, berongga, terbuat dari besi oksida dengan beberapa logam lain. Sifatnya semi-magnetik dan dibungkus plastic. FB atau FC ini rencanya mo dipasang di 4kabel koil busi. biar gambar yang bicara aja, ya, buka dulu air filter box.lepasin dulu konektor sensornya dan baut pengikatnya

Selamat mencoba, semoga berkhasiat.
