Fabricated a secure Box. I cut the bottom out of the Dvr's side front storage tray and made the box out of 3/16" cold rolled steel. Fingerprint lock and bolted securely to the floor. "Flex Sealed" the interior (needs a second coat) and still need to finish painting the lid.
You are correct, Increasing timing will provide more power, decreasing timing will produce less power increasing economy, which one the ECU does first, IDK
Most modern gasoline engines have knock sensors but not so you can run a lower octane (it allows it but wasn't designed for that purpose) Knock sensors allow the ECM to retard timing as much as possible to maintain the power band for the driving at hand to increase fuel economy. When the...
X2 on google with the part number and don't forget to check the local dealer's parts counter. I have found many items that are the same price as the online price and I didn't have to wait for it to arrive.
Having taken most of the interior panels out at some point, I took out the front storage trays (just behind the 2nd row seats) and the metal cover over (the Hybrid battery) is basically a metal platform with a lot of movement/adjustment when the two large bolts are removed, probably 1/4" of...
I plan on mounting a fridge and power bank in the Dvr's side, rear seat fully stored position, area. It's on my list (behind many others). My goal is to use the existing seat latching points as the anchor and build out from that.
On the front you'd have to fabricate a mount as everything is plastic. In the rear I'd just use the trailer hitch and tennis a ball to prevent it from slapping the paint.
I'd place the jack under the rear differential and jack stands on the axle tubes. In the front, I'd place the jack under the OEM spot and jackstands under frame.
Ther are those here on this forum that believe......... if there is a sticker or if it's in the manual and you don't follow said print that your vehicle will self destruct. I would not use opinions concerning octane levels. Do your research and do what you think's best.
