What are the power modifications for cars?
2 Answers
Automotive power modifications include: 1. Replacing with a high-flow air filter: Before air enters the cylinder, it passes through the air filter. After modification, air resistance is reduced, improving engine power at high speeds; 2. Modifying the exhaust system: Reducing exhaust resistance allows for efficient expulsion of exhaust gases at high engine speeds, increasing horsepower gains; 3. Upgrading the ignition system: Enhancing the engine's ignition energy significantly boosts engine power; 4. ECU upgrade: This refers to the engine operation control system, with three upgrade methods—replacement, write-in, and plug-in—effectively improving engine power.
There's actually a lot to learn about car performance modifications. After years of playing with cars, I've summarized several categories: The most basic upgrades are installing high-flow air filters and exhaust systems to let the engine breathe more freely and achieve faster acceleration response. A more advanced approach is ECU remapping, which rewrites the engine control unit parameters to squeeze out more horsepower - this works particularly well with turbocharged cars. Then there's adding turbo kits to double the power output of naturally aspirated engines, though this requires reinforcing connecting rods and pistons. As for transmissions, upgrading clutches and installing closer-ratio final drives can make power delivery more direct. Finally, weight reduction like removing rear seats or replacing hoods with carbon fiber parts shows immediate effects. But remember to always consider annual inspections and warranty issues before modifying.
