Racer X
You scored -26%


Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an *** while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

what's the answer to this one?


Again, correct order. IC=intercooler, CC=combustion chamber, TC=turbocharger, UP=up-pipe, DP=down-pipe
1. Filter, IC, TC, CC, UP, TC, DP, exhaust
2. Filter, TC, CC, IC, DP, UP, exhaust
3. Filter, TC, UP, IC, CC, DP, TC, exhaust
4. Filter, TC, IC, CC, UP, TC, DP, exhaust

I put #1


Edit: After looking at some diagrams, isn't it suppose to be #4?

Air goes through filter, through compressor housing, which goes through intercooler, into cc, exits through uppipe, then turbine housing, then dp, and exhaust.

Answer is #1

I was confused by this question though:

19. What's the correct order?
Intake, Power, Compression, Exhaust
Power, Exhaust, Intake, Compression
Exhaust, Power, Intake, Compression
Intake, Compression, Exhaust, Power

Isnt the correct answer intake, compression, power, exhaust?

You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a ****load of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a ****load of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

Anybody know the answers to these?

5. Okay, onto mechanics. When checking your coolant, you notice bubbles and a faint white/milkyness in the reservoir. Also, the car is noticeably slower than usual, and may even overheat occasionally. What is most likely wrong with your ride?
Bad thermostat
Bad CTS (coolant temperature sensor)
Blown head gasket
Corrosion/sediment in radiator

7. You have a honda civic EX with a stock 1.6 liter engine. What exhaust diameter is ideal for performance
3 inch
2.5 inch
2 inch
stock

8. What type of intake is this?
CAI (Cold Air Intake)
Short Ram Intake
True Velocity Stack Intake
no idea

10. Which of these engine parameters has the largest effect on the level of boost that the engine can handle?
forged vs. cast rods
open vs. closed deck
8.5:1 vs 10:1 compression
no idea

?

I got -25%

I put Corrosion, 2inch because it can get bigger, but NA cars need the backpressure, especially tiny engines like that 1.6, short ram, and compression. The car can have strong internals, but if it has high compression it won't handle boost as well. Compression is the most fundamental things for boost.
