High performance engine tuning

Careful selection of your internal engine tuning modifications can lift your engine from a purring kitten into a roaring lion!

While it is tempting to throw in every modification you can, it’s worth noting that not all mods work well together. This is something we cover in our articles as we steer you to the right decision on mods for your car.

Throttle bodies

It is time to blow open the world of throttle bodies, see what they are, how they work, and what effect they have on performance. Typically the most common modifications are around the exhaust systems and induction kits, however, you should also consider the addition of high performing throttle body to your vehicle.

In this article, we’ll cover all that you need to know about throttle bodies, throttle body conversion, benefits, problems, and replacement costs.

Pistons Crankshafts

When an engine is nicely balanced you can raise the redline, and this is where the peak power lies. If you are planning forced induction upgrades then making sure the bottom end of the engine is as strong as possible is a major consideration.

High performance valve springs

The valves are like the doorways into the engine and control the flow of the intake air and fuel and then after combustion they control the exit of the exhaust gases.

As you can guess the valve springs work incredibly hard, and as you increase the power of your engine the valve choice is vital.

TorqueCars will now take a look at the many considerations taken into account when selecting valve springs.
