My first mod: grill block
Hi all,
I just did the first modification to my car (European Civic Sport 1.4 i-DSI, modelcode FK1): grill block.
Started yesterday, with 60% up and down to work (approx. 20 miles one way). I noted no difference in FE and engine temps (I made a 30 min recording of engine temp, radiator temp, oil temp and vehicle speed). Board computer average FC did not drop yet, stayed at 5,7 l/100 km.
So today I changed to a 90% block ! But only on Monday I will be able to test this one going to work. The 30 % added block can be removed very easy in case of troubles.
If anybody can tell me how to attach pictures in a thread... I will show you what I did. Especially: where should I upload my pictures to, so I can fill in the link that's asked by the system? Sorry for this question.
My question: does anybody ever made a grill block and experienced no (positive) effect on FE ? Or did you all made gains by grill blocking?
Thanks
