Cigarette Lighter Delete
Has anyone tried this mod ? Any improvement in performance ?
|
Kind of a trade off. The car is lighter, so it turns, stops, and brakes better, but it sits a little higher. I think I'll have to lower it some more.
|
JD you only need this kind of performance mod for track driving.....besides you will be sorry when you can't light up a Djarum...
|
Runs a lot cooler without the lighter. No need for a low temp thermostat.
|
What? Are you crazy? The engineers at Porsche know best and since THEY decided that you needed a lighter, who are you to go against their 50 years of engineering expertise, testing, and analysis?
|
I'm thinking - less draw on the electrical system means greater spark to the engine which will result in more power ?

soooo to geek out: Watts/745.7 (one HP) = Electrical output in HP HP x 10% Efficiency Loss (guessing here) = HP Loss HP + Efficiency Loss = Total HP used so lets figure ~160 watts for the lighter 160 / 745.7 =.215 .215 X .10 = .0215 .215 + .0215 = .236hp That blasted lighter is costing you nearly a quarter of a hp when your girl fires up a Marlboro! |

What's the point of more power if you can't spark a fatty and enjoy it?

That's ok - Allen makes a good point nonetheless.

I stuck a wine cork in mine, gave me +2 vanity points. You can really feel the difference, I went with a 2010 Vintage year Port.
You might try looking in your ash try that were I found mine http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/s...h/e9f2e037.jpg |
