Atom 4 Project more power - Part 1

UPDATE: Part 2 results can be found here:    • Atom 4 Project more Power - Part 2   I wanted to talk about some of the things I am doing to the Atom to improve performance, reduce heat in both the intake system and the engine overall and ultimately this will lead to a better more reliable engine long term especially as I want more power from the car. This video is a work-in-progress with regards to the modifications I have undertaken so far and it also includes the things I plan to do in the coming days. This is a part 1 video, there will be a part 2 and part 3 to this series. Part 2 will be the oil cooler install and part 3 will be all the results from the vast number of improvements I am making. Everything I do is measured on it's effectiveness using all the sensors and data logging in the car, not in a lab that is completely different to the operating environment but actually in the car while being driven at different loads and different ambient temperatures.
