Hello ladies and germs, I signed up a while back to learn more about turbo-charging a petrol engined car, to which I discovered that on my particular car was largely a pointless persuit (my car is beneath my avatar).
However, I digress, the reasons I'm posting this thread is to ask for some advice about car parts etc. and rather than ask what will give me moar powah, I was hoping to learn about which parts will improve fuel economy and acceleration.
It is also worth noting that as old as my car is now, I plan on keeping it for well over seven more years so I was wondering if the parts will reduce or increase wear on the engine
I don't have a price limit on this little project as such but I've compiled a shortlist of the potential parts I'd like to buy and the more effective a part is the higer on the list it will be, if one part works best with another part then you can point that out to me as well.
I'm very realistic about the gains, I'm not expecting huge gains in either fuel economy and acceleration but something reasonable like an extra 5 miles to the gallon for example would be brilliant as over a year thats a lot of money to be saved.
I recently replaced my steering rack, I did LOTs of research prior to doing it and so whilst I'm not completely wet behind the ears theres still loads more to learn and so I don't intend to be clueless about car modding for very long as I'll be doing some of my own research on the side, in the meantime though, I look forward to contributing this forum in the future.
