TorqueCars will review sports exhausts and exhuast design as they are very popular modifications, but sadly many mistakes are made.
The job of the exhaust is to break up the sound pulse from the engine, muffling the sound and allowing the exhaust gases to escape efficiently.
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.
Vents – adding performance with Bonnet vents.
Performance gains are possible with the addition of bonnet vents.
Warm air really does kill performance. This is due to the air intake temperatures being hot and air at high temperatures carries less oxygen.
When driving an engine hard the under bonnet temperatures quickly build up and the engine has no choice but to suck this air in reducing your power.
High performance ignition Leads
We look at the benefits of high performance ignition leads and HT leads. Explain what they do and look at the pros and cons and assess the benefits of performance leads.
