So, what have I learned from my week under the hood of the Millenia..... the COCKSUCKERS at the emissions check know how to fuck your car. I went last night to the junkyard, local.... cuz I know there are 4 Millies hiding there, a 94 L, 2 95 S, and a 97 S(no engine)..... looking for EGR and solenoids that control same. I was having a P1402, P0300 randomly. Plus I had been coding for the rear bank rear O2 sensor, front bank front O2 sensor which both got changed.... rear one was actually melted, front one looked perfect (but swapped anyway). BTW the BOSCH universal are great and easy to do, half the cost of OEM.
Back to my story, I am working at changing the solenoid to the EGR, and something looks suspicious.... vacuum lines from the EGR solenoid to the air filter (on the solenoid cluster back intake manifold) had been swapped with the line to the ABV solenoid. Thereby rendering the EGR almost useless as the solenoid is not functioning due to inability to move against the vacuum from the ABV. Once swapped back, car ran perfect, 120% power again.... remember I have the headers (20%) LOL.
BUT this is on topic.... because MOTHERFUCKING DAMN MECHANIC
So for future reference if you get your milly back from some jackass shop, and you are about 30% less power and chucking CELs like fucking fireworks.... the cockersucker may have switched these two lines, which are SO easy to get at, as they are right on top of the rear manifold solenois cluster.... I will try to do a diagram later.

Thanks Bro.... I am actually looking at springs (1.5 drop) and sway bars to tighten it up... lot's of aftermarket out there for it.

HEY ANSWER MY POST.....

When i said steam engine werent efficient I was speaking of the older steam powered cars. But even now our gasoline engines arent efficient.
The old recips were highly inefficient, but having worked on a couple... fun to operate. A closed steam plant can run upwards of 80% efficient thermodynamically. While ICEs are lucky to be 35%.

Here is a write up of the plant I used to work with...

Steam plant..... fluid flow.
Compressible flow in thermodynamics
Another useful form of the equation, suitable for use in thermodynamics, is:
is the enthalpy per unit mass, which is also often written as 
(not to be confused with "head" or "height").Note that
where 
is the thermodynamic energy per unit mass, also known as the specific internal energy or "sie."The constant on the right hand side is often called the Bernoulli constant and denoted
. For steady inviscid adiabatic flow with no additional sources or sinks of energy, is constant along any given streamline. More generally, when may vary along streamlines, it still proves a useful parameter, related to the "head" of the fluid (see below).When the change in
can be ignored, a very useful form of this equation is:
where 
is total enthalpy.When shock waves are present, in a reference frame moving with a shock, many of the parameters in the Bernoulli equation suffer abrupt changes in passing through the shock. The Bernoulli parameter itself, however, remains unaffected. An exception to this rule is radiative shocks, which violate the assumptions leading to the Bernoulli equation, namely the lack of additional sinks or sources of energy

Calculating the thermal efficiency of a boiler plant, factoring heat exchangers, pipe losses, pump curves, etc.... about a 4-7 hour mathematical calculation.... I know it was the one question final exam in Advanced Thermodynamics when I went to college. 16 pages of math, and hours of headache.
-
I wouldn't want to discuss engine efficiency with anyone claiming steam engines are efficient.
HMMM being a steam engineer.... the steam turbines were highly efficient, and the boiler plant (1959 B&W D-type) was running at relatively high thermal efficiency. Our biggest losses where water, from gland sealing, valve stem leaks, etc. We re-tubed one of our boilers after a superheater failure. Once shut down, the boiler would hold heat and pressure for almost 2 days without a fire. But we are talking 550psi and 850 F
And in now way am I siding with BHR nor defending him, as I know he would NEVER understand Bernouilli's principles of thermodynamics.

Lift it up on the bags
-
Clue, Looks awesome, especially when dropped on the pavement. Well done. Of course you always had the style when it comes to cars. Hit me with some numbers for bags for a 2009 Ford Fusion SEL V6. Would love to make it sit low.
-
I am glad you guys are keeping this on topic, even if that asshat BHR keeps bringing his moronic infantile views in.... Well done to the patrons, shame on BHR.
-
That asshole saw how hard it was in the back, and said fuck it.... left the old ones in. And prolly charged you for the whole job regardless.

Got mine here....

Will take pics of the new plumbing job, sits really nice, tucked in near the CAI downward 90 of the resonator box.
BTW, to follow up on the amount of oil trapped in 200kms.... about 1/4 cup or so
-
Not sure, I have only driven the car about 200kms since install.
Yeah I think it is f'ing cheap too, but it was the market will bear up here.... I will sell to the US too. If someone wants to come get it.... it has the only set of headers for an S...
-
You can see the new white car in the background.... I thought it was going to be a burden to have a Ford, but much to my surprise the Fusion is a very enjoyable and spirited drive. Only wish the company would have gotten me the manual gearbox and leather. Oh well, I have already added smoked side markers (yes there are aftermarket things I can buy on this, not make) a strut tower brace, CAI and throttle body spacer, and lowering kit in the works....
-
I am tired of it sitting alone.... I would rather sell it to someone, and owners are being screened already. It needs to be enjoyed.
The PCV oil can setup is great, you would be amazed at how much oil mist is fed back into the intake.
-
-
There is enough vacuum in the PCV hose to collapse ANYTHING but vacuum hose. I have re-enforced silicone on the oil catch can I installed... and it is sucked flat. Need to run some hard line, as it is a 1/2" system.
-
There is speculation of Ford's new v8 for the Mustang being Turbo.... this is a side note, nothing to do with the ghettomobile above
-
Funny this thread reared it's head, I have a catch can sitting on my table at home, for install tomorrow...

OK then.... I just pictured the crunk juice chalice....

You will have to custom install, there is very little to nothing aftermarket for the Millenia.
