Hi guys, I don't know much about cars yet, but I am learning slowly. Just have some questions.
Just got a VX Equipe with 250,000 kms. I want to know would it be worth getting extractors, performance exhaust, throttle body, cold air intake.? are there any disadvantages I should know of if I do these upgrades on an engine with this many k's.
I know the previous owner who took good care of this car and never any hard accelleration, but sometimes my foot likes to just go all the way. :P are there some things I should be careful about regarding the engine with this many k's
I was just reading from phoenix mechanical about VT engines (Gen III)
"Australian Gen III's have a front mounted oil pickup and sump design, where as the Gen III's originally (US) had a rear mounted pickup and sump design. A downside to this is that under hard acceleration, the oil pump pickup may not be submersed in enough oil, so the oil system momentarily aerates. During hard acceleration, zero or extremely low oil pressure will easily damage any crank bearings. That applies to any engine"
Does my 2001 VX have the same design? Because I can not find this said about the VX
