Re: Royal purple = more power???
Your all MAD I Tell YOu MAD MAD MAD.
Anyone putting in oil aditive or synthetic motor oil to
try and squeeze a couple extra horses is a lunitic.
First off your going to kill that engine much mucg sooner then it
would if you hadnt screwed with it, secondly...your NOT gaining Aything.
have you ever seen that little computer box in your engine compartment?
what do you suppose it does?
it keeps the engine running at optimum performance based on what
the mitsubishi engeniers deemed is perfect for that engine.
if you increase the engine weight or decrease it , the computer is going to
compensate
for it.
I also used to work at a stereo shop, and we had customers wo had convinced
themselvs
that this moster cable speaker wire sounded so much better than regular
wire.
the truth is there is no difference.
But since these customes had just laid out $200.00 for copper wire, of
course thier
little brains told them it sounded better.
i suspect the same type of self-pyscho-hypnosis is happening here.

Re: Royal purple = more power???
i just love oil threads......
"Anyone putting in oil aditive or synthetic motor oil to

why? because you do not understand it?
"have you ever seen that little computer box in your engine compartment?
what do you suppose it does?"
yeah, mine's kinda' hacked: a 1995 ecu in a 1997 car, controlled by a dell
laptop and dsm-link software but it's not in the engine compartment and it
has nothing to do with oil........
"if you increase the engine weight or decrease it , the computer is going to
compensate for it."
total nonsense! i have an aluminum flywheel, aluminum underdrive pulley and
have both balance shafts removed (20 pounds or so lighter than stock.) and
the ecu couldn't give a rat's ***.
what sensor reports engine weight to the ecu? i don't believe this is an
obdII function.
"I also used to work at a stereo shop, and we had customers wo had

Re: Royal purple = more power???
"All Synthetic motor oil is the same. When comparing
synthetic to synthetic, its the stabilizers used. Most commercial
synthetics, use Zinc as a stabilizer. Torco uses MPZ instead of Zinc.
MPZ"
this is nonsense......zinc is not a stabilizer. zinc's only role in oil is
to provide protection from metal to metal contact in event of failure of the
actual oil film. (gee, i wonder what the "Z" in mpz stands for?)

this is nonsense......zinc is not a stabilizer. zinc's only role in oil is
to provide protection from metal to metal contact in event of failure of the
actual oil film. (gee, i wonder what the "Z" in mpz stands for?)

Re: Royal purple = more power???
OK Simpleton....With your fancy *** dell attached to your
Hacked car's computer...how many more horses are you kickin out?
5 maybee 10? you declined to even mention it.
Lets suppose just for a second that not EVERYONE is hacking thier
cars computers and try sticking to the topic at hand. Wich was OIL.
Not hacked Car computers & not Cars that need a friggin laptop on
the passenger seat to even operate it.
My claim is simple, you are NO way gonna kick out any more
Horses by using JUST some cheap *** oil additive.
at best you can do is with a synthetic oil is skip the length of miles
between oil changes. or maybee even protect your cylinder boars
from when your engine knocks too much.
By the way, the Oil's thickness is pretty much a mute point once the engine
has warmed up.
no oil in the world is gonna increace your horsepower.
and i invite you to show me a real website to prove otherwise.

Hacked car's computer...how many more horses are you kickin out?
5 maybee 10? you declined to even mention it.
Lets suppose just for a second that not EVERYONE is hacking thier
cars computers and try sticking to the topic at hand. Wich was OIL.
Not hacked Car computers & not Cars that need a friggin laptop on
the passenger seat to even operate it.
My claim is simple, you are NO way gonna kick out any more
Horses by using JUST some cheap *** oil additive.
at best you can do is with a synthetic oil is skip the length of miles
between oil changes. or maybee even protect your cylinder boars
from when your engine knocks too much.
By the way, the Oil's thickness is pretty much a mute point once the engine
has warmed up.
no oil in the world is gonna increace your horsepower.
and i invite you to show me a real website to prove otherwise.

Re: Royal purple = more power???
First of all son, you spelt bores wrong. :-P
But I agree with you, oil should be chosen for its protective value, not
some false claim that it can increase your horsepower. If you really want to
increase your power, do some *actual* engine modification. Good starts for
the novices are the car's intake system and exhaust system.

Yes, that's why a LOT of high performance cars come with it from the

Re: Royal purple = more power???
"OK Simpleton....With your fancy *** dell attached to your
Hacked car's computer...how many more horses are you kickin out?
5 maybee 10? you declined to even mention it."
the engine builder is telling me 400 hp to the wheels on pump gas.
he showed me some dyno charts of another mitsu when i picked up my short
block. the turbo has dyno'd over 500whp but on race fuel and more boost.
" Lets suppose just for a second that not EVERYONE is hacking thier
cars computers and try sticking to the topic at hand. Wich was OIL.
Not hacked Car computers & not Cars that need a friggin laptop on
the passenger seat to even operate it."
well, to be honest many of the regular posters here who come to the aid of
newbies such as yourself, do have hacked/tweaked cars and the dell is only
out when datalogging. with respect to remaining on topic, it was you who
wandered off the path........
what does any of the following quoted material have to do with oil?
"
have you ever seen that little computer box in your engine compartment?
what do you suppose it does?
it keeps the engine running at optimum performance based on what
the mitsubishi engeniers deemed is perfect for that engine.
if you increase the engine weight or decrease it , the computer is going to
compensate
for it.
I also used to work at a stereo shop, and we had customers wo had convinced
themselvs
that this moster cable speaker wire sounded so much better than regular
wire.
the truth is there is no difference.
But since these customes had just laid out $200.00 for copper wire, of
course thier
little brains told them it sounded better.
i suspect the same type of self-pyscho-hypnosis is happening here."
"My claim is simple, you are NO way gonna kick out any more
Horses by using JUST some cheap *** oil additive."
no your claim was this:
"First off your going to kill that engine much mucg sooner then it
would if you hadnt screwed with it, secondly...your NOT gaining Aything."
synthetic oil will kill your engine sooner appears to be your claim.
"best you can do is with a synthetic oil is skip the length of miles
between oil changes. or maybee even protect your cylinder boars
from when your engine knocks too much."
uh, wrong.....
"no oil in the world is gonna increace your horsepower."
a reduction in the coefficient of friction in the lubricant results in a
decrease in frictional losses within the engine, it's pretty clear.
go to royal purple's web site and look at the dyno charts published in the
oil comparison.
dude, you're just lost......
