Comparison of Turbo’s and superchargers

Both work on the same principle they blow air into the engine under pressure. Both have a turbine which spins up depending on the engine speed and the higher the revs the greater the volume of air is forced into the engine. But there are some major differences between the two and which is best for your project?

Fuel surge tanks

We look at fuel surge tanks explaining what they are, how they work and the typical scenarios where you really need them like when cornering with low fuel in your tank, or to keep up with engine fuel demand on heavy load applications.

What is brake fade and what causes brake fade?

This phenomenon known as brake fade can be quite unexpected and lethal and I would hazard a guess that 1 in 4 cars are likely to experience brake fade to some degree. Brake fade manifests itself by a spongy feel on the pedal and little or no braking force. Do not confuse brake fade with bad brakes or a mechanical fault as it applies to brake systems in relatively good condition.

Stage 1 tuning

We look at tuning cars, and taking the car to stage 1, where most people start. We blow open many common myths around common stage 1 mods, and help you decide which are the best mods for your car and upgrade options.
