What is the simplest way to improve low-end torque?
1 Answers
Methods to increase low-end torque in cars are as follows: 1. Change wheels and tires: Switching to smaller diameter wheels and tires, though the effect is minimal and may cause speedometer inaccuracies. Install a turbocharger and use higher octane gasoline. 2. Adjust the transmission: Alternatively, major modifications like engine replacement or transmission tuning can be made, though none of these are recommended. It's best to use the vehicle with its original power output as improper modifications may affect the car's lifespan and even compromise safety in severe cases. Introduction to turbocharging: 1. History of turbocharging technology: The power output characteristics of turbocharged engines differ from naturally aspirated engines, which is why many consumers prefer vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines. The power delivery of turbocharged engines is more suitable for stop-and-go urban driving. Turbocharging technology was originally developed for aircraft engines to address insufficient air intake at high altitudes. 2. Principle of turbocharging: Turbocharged engines feature a turbocharger consisting of two main components - a compression turbine and an exhaust turbine. When the engine reaches certain RPM, the exhaust gas has sufficient energy to drive the exhaust turbine, causing the compression turbine to rotate as well. This allows the compression turbine to compress air and force it into the cylinders.
