Can Increasing Air Intake Enhance Power?
1 Answers
Increasing air intake will certainly boost power to some extent, but it will also lead to higher fuel consumption. This is because a larger air intake results in an overly lean air-fuel mixture. When the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe detects this, it adjusts the fuel injection to maintain normal emissions, which in turn increases fuel consumption.

Enhance Ignition System Efficiency: Ignition coils typically output over 100KV, but a significant portion of this energy is lost through high-voltage wires and spark plugs, leaving only 20-50KV for actual ignition. Therefore, reducing energy loss in the ignition system is crucial. Using high-quality spark plugs for stable energy, premium fuel, and reducing vehicle weight can improve power by up to 10%. 2. Upgrade Wheels and Tires: Ensuring both wheels are perfectly parallel and aligned straight in the direction of travel minimizes lateral speed loss, enabling higher driving speeds. Additionally, replacing standard tires with smaller ones can enhance acceleration. Pairing these with lightweight rims, such as carbon fiber wheels, further reduces vehicle weight and boosts power.
