Exhaust system contain several component; exhaust manifold, pipe, catalytic convertor and muffler. In here, we will discuss how to improve the engine performance by exhaust system.

Most of the people believe that; sport muffler can increase engine performance. Yes, it does increase some horse power, but it is not the main issue for increasing engine performance. The answer is on the first place that exhaust gas goes; exhaust manifold. Continue Reading »

When people talk about race cars or high-performance sports cars, the topic of turbochargers usually comes up. A turbo can significantly boost an engine’s horsepower without significantly increasing its weight, which is the huge benefit that makes turbo so popular!

The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. This can significantly improve the power-to-weight ratio for the engine. Continue Reading »

On the track the lower you go the better. This works well because tracks are fairly flat and you do not have a carrier bag that full of eggs in the car from your return trip to the supermarket. So what factors do you have to take into account when setting up and choosing your cars suspension?

Manufactures have to take speed bumps, uneven road surfaces, ride comfort and road noise into consideration when setting up a cars suspension. Most production cars have soft comfortable suspension that does little to maximize handling and driving experience. Continue Reading »

You have seen it in the movies. Hit a button and in an instant the engine produces 50, 100, 150 or more additional horsepower.

Is it magic? Not really. The explanation is rather simple, but before understanding how a nitrous-oxide system allows an engine to generate a rush of additional horsepower, it’s best to understand a little on how the engine itself makes power. Continue Reading »

Manual Transmission

Manual transmissions are lubricated with gear oil or engine oil in some cars, which must be changed periodically in some cars, although not as frequently as the automatic transmission fluid in a vehicle so equipped. (Some manufacturers specify that changing the gear oil is never necessary except after transmission work or to rectify a leak.)
