4a91 engine can be tuned to 170ps horsepower, with an approximate increase of 20ps. Advantages of ECU tuning: Significant improvement in power output. For naturally aspirated models, there is a 5%~10% increase, while turbocharged models can see up to a 30% improvement, which is particularly noticeable for turbocharged engines. Disadvantages of ECU tuning: Higher fuel quality requirements. Previously, 92 octane gasoline was sufficient, but after ECU tuning, 95 octane gasoline is necessary, and fuel consumption may become abnormally high. Increased engine temperature demands. Since the engine operates at an overclocked state after ECU tuning, the original cooling system may no longer meet the heat dissipation needs, leading to potentially fatal damage from excessive engine temperatures.

What Documents Are Needed for Car Purchase?

Purchasing a car requires the owner's ID card, vehicle sales invoice, and signing a purchase contract with the dealer. Then, you need to pay the purchase tax, obtain insurance, and register the license plate—these are the procedures required for buying a car in full payment. When buying a car with installment payments, more documents are needed, primarily for loan processing. For purchasing a used car, you only need to prepare the documents required for ownership transfer and license plate registration. When buying a car, always ensure that all accompanying items are complete, such as the vehicle user manual, maintenance manual, tools, spare tire, etc., as these are crucial for the vehicle. When purchasing a used car, always check if the vehicle documents are complete and verify if the vehicle can be legally transferred. If a used car lacks complete documents and cannot be legally transferred, do not purchase it.

How to Prevent Tire Blowouts?

Methods to prevent tire blowouts: 1. Regularly check tire wear. If the wear reaches the tire warning indicator, replace the tire as soon as possible; 2. Check tire pressure before driving to ensure it is within the normal range, as both overinflation and underinflation can easily cause blowouts; 3. Take cracks on the tire surface seriously. Consult professional auto maintenance shops for specific situations and take remedial measures or replace the tire; 4. Promptly remove debris such as stones, glass, nails embedded in the tire surface to prevent these objects from penetrating the tire and causing a blowout while driving; 5. Tires with surfaces corroded by chemicals, pitted, or bulging should not be used and need immediate replacement; 6. Replace tires that have exceeded their service life or show signs of aging. Additionally, tires that have been unused for a long time should not be used.

Does turning on eco mode save fuel while driving?

Turning on eco mode while driving does save fuel, as the eco mode is specifically designed for fuel efficiency. It can save more than 10% fuel compared to the normal mode. The name 'eco' is derived from the combination of 'ecology' (environmental protection), 'conservation' (energy saving), and 'optimization' (power synthesis). The working principle of eco mode involves adjusting various parameters such as transmission gear, engine speed, braking system, and transmission oil temperature through multiple sensors. The vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) then calculates the optimal fuel injection quantity to achieve fuel-saving purposes. It's important to note that eco mode is not suitable for all situations. For instance, when the vehicle requires high torque output or when driving at very high speeds, it is not advisable to activate eco mode.

Can Rear-Wheel Drive Cars Be Driven in Snowy Weather?

Rear-wheel drive cars can be driven in snowy weather, but it is important to drive slowly and pay attention to safety. Precautions for driving rear-wheel drive cars in snowy weather: Increase following distance and maintain more space on both sides. Brake early and gently. Pay attention to turning on hazard lights, headlights, and fog lights. Maintain a steady speed. Ensure sufficient temperature inside the car and the effectiveness of the windshield wipers. Wear appropriate tinted glasses. Advantages of rear-wheel drive cars: Rear-wheel drive cars offer powerful performance, as the rear-mounted engine is closest to the rear wheels, and the rear-wheel drive relies on the driveshaft driven by the engine. The front of the car is agile, while the rear has significant weight, providing precise steering. During acceleration or climbing, the driving wheels have greater traction pressure, making the traction noticeably superior to front-wheel drive configurations.

Which countries drive on the left side of the road?

Countries that drive on the left are typically island nations, peninsulas, and subcontinental countries: the United Kingdom, Japan, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Proportion of left-hand and right-hand traffic: Road traffic direction can be divided into two categories: driving on the left side of the road and driving on the right side of the road. 34% of countries drive on the left, while 66% drive on the right. If calculated by road mileage, 28% of the world's passable roads are left-hand traffic, and 72% are right-hand traffic. Basis: Which side of the road vehicles drive on depends on the long-established traffic rules of the country, which have led to more detailed and strict road traffic regulations. Many countries have legally determined the direction of vehicle travel.
