163 horsepower is equivalent to a 2.0-liter displacement. Below are methods to increase horsepower: 1. Exhaust and engine intake modifications: This involves reducing exhaust backpressure. Backpressure, academically defined, refers to the force that hinders exhaust pulses due to the pressure inside the exhaust pipe. Reducing backpressure essentially makes the alternation between intake and exhaust smoother, effectively extending the valve overlap time. For example, installing a high-flow air filter (such as a mushroom filter or washable air filter); modifying with a mechanical supercharger or turbocharger also falls under intake modifications. Additionally, the exhaust system can be divided into three parts: the catalytic converter, muffler, and resonator. Replacing these parts individually or all at once yields different effects. 2. Catalytic converter: The catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in a car's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases like carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. It is also part of the exhaust system. If the catalytic converter becomes poisoned or fails, you may notice a foul odor when the engine is cold, mixed with a car-like smell, indicating an issue with the catalytic converter. Another problem is catalytic converter clogging. In both cases, using cleaner fuel or regularly cleaning the catalytic converter can help. Additionally, avoid collisions during daily driving. 3. Tires: Tire modifications are simpler and more easily accepted by car owners. Modified tires enhance the visual appeal, making the car look more dynamic. However, it's worth noting that smaller tires can improve acceleration and reduce fuel consumption but may compromise overall stability, while larger tires have the opposite effect.

I've come across many engine specifications before, and 163 horsepower cannot be directly converted into a specific displacement value because horsepower represents power output, while displacement is a unit of engine cylinder volume (such as liters or cubic centimeters). The level of horsepower depends on multiple factors, including whether the engine design is turbocharged, naturally aspirated, the compression ratio, and combustion efficiency, among others. For example, a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine can easily output around 160 horsepower with the help of a forced induction system; while a well-optimized 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine can also achieve similar levels. Conversely, older engines might require 2.5 liters to reach 160 horsepower. Therefore, when determining displacement, one must also consider the specific vehicle technology, such as the trend in modern family cars towards smaller displacement with higher horsepower. Generally, 163 horsepower corresponds to a range of 1.8 to 2.0 liters.

I've been driving for many years, and 163 horsepower is considered above average in real-world driving, suitable for daily commuting. Compared to common models: for example, the Toyota Corolla's 1.8L engine outputs around 140 horsepower, but the 1.5T turbo version can reach about 170 horsepower, so 163 horsepower might correspond to a 1.6 to 2.0-liter engine. However, don't just focus on displacement: vehicle weight, tires, and road conditions also affect the actual experience. I've also noticed newer models like the Honda Civic, which have smaller displacements but higher horsepower, being more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient; when choosing a car, it's better to check the specifications or test drive for a more accurate assessment.

163 horsepower is roughly equivalent to the power level of a typical family car. Displacement cannot be determined solely by horsepower conversion due to differences in engine technology and type: for example, a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine may output over 160 horsepower, while a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine may produce similar figures. On average, 163 horsepower corresponds to an approximately 2.0-liter engine, but modern vehicles can achieve this with smaller engines. Many factors influence this, such as intake manifold design and fuel quality. If the horsepower is higher but the displacement is smaller, it indicates greater efficiency and energy savings.

What Does 'Car Purchase Includes License Plate Registration' Mean?

'Car purchase includes license plate registration' means that the 4S dealership will assist with the vehicle registration process, eliminating the need for the buyer to personally handle the license plate application. Below is a detailed introduction to car license plate registration: 1. The difference between dealership-assisted registration and self-registration: Apart from the cost difference, there is no other distinction. Using the dealership's service is more expensive than self-registration. If you have ample time or know someone at the vehicle management office, you can handle the registration yourself. If you are short on time and don't mind the additional service fee charged by the dealership, you can let the 4S dealership handle the registration. 2. The following documents are required for vehicle registration: vehicle certificate of conformity, triplicate purchase invoice, vehicle purchase tax certificate (original and duplicate), insurance policy, and original ID card along with a copy. With these five documents, you can proceed to the vehicle management office for registration and vehicle inspection. The vehicle management office primarily checks the vehicle identification number (VIN), vehicle appearance, and the warning triangle sign, so prepare these in advance.

Do I need to register after changing the rims?

Modifying rims is not allowed in principle, so changing rims also requires registration. The following is relevant information about rim modifications: 1. Overview: Rim modifications are relatively conspicuous and can be visually identified whether a vehicle has modified rims. Many people mistakenly believe that upgrading rims is not only for aesthetics but also for attracting attention. In fact, apart from aesthetic factors, rim modifications can also achieve the goals of improving heat dissipation and weight reduction. However, the impact of a set of rims on driving safety is something to be aware of during rim modifications. 2. Basic parameters of rims: Each rim has a center hole, but the diameter of the center hole varies among different rims. The center bore diameter indicates the size of the rim's center hole. If the center bore diameter of the modified rim differs from the vehicle's original value, it can be installed using an adapter. However, due to the additional adapter connection, the ability to handle bumps and other road conditions during actual driving will be correspondingly reduced.

How to Repair Damaged Car Plastic?

Here are the methods to repair damaged car plastic: 1. Minor scratches: For slightly more severe scratches where the underlying primer color is visible, the repair approach depends on the location of the damage. Typically, areas like the bumper, rearview mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and won't rust, so whether to repaint depends on the owner's preference. Additionally, you can gently apply toothpaste to shallow scratches and then wipe counterclockwise with a soft cotton cloth. Repeating this several times not only reduces the scratches but also prevents air from corroding the damaged paint. 2. Scratches exposing the primer: Touch-up pens are available at most auto parts stores. Owners can purchase the correct color by providing their car model and the official color name. Before use, shake the touch-up pen well, then carefully apply the paint along the direction of the scratch. Once the touched-up area is dry, apply fine wax to finish the repair.
