Every car fan and fast driving enthusiast dreams of making their car more powerful. For many, engine tuning is a well-known concept that evokes a thrill and satisfaction. However, it is worth learning a little more about the subject. Before you start tuning in your car, it is essential to find out what are the basic rules that you should not forget.
If you are thinking about tuning your engine, never do anything on your own. These are modifications, when it counts feeling, experience and knowledge. It is best to give the car for modification to a specialist who will know how to start tuning the engine and how to increase its power. According to specialists, popular chipboxes, which are used to modify the engine, are not effective and can lead to many faults. Uploading them is not as effective as it may seem. Of course, the power of the engine will be raised, but is it correctly and adequately to the capabilities of the car? Probably not. Engine tuning is an undertaking that should be approached with caution.
One way to increase engine power, is to replace the turbo rotor for a slightly larger one. However, this is a method that will work only in certain models of diesel cars. It is worth remembering that if the power of the car when tuning is significantly increased, it is necessary to make changes in the clutch. It will need to be replaced with a new one in order to strengthen it, making the car ride satisfying.
If you decide to tune the engine and increase its power, it is necessary to make changes to other parts of the car to make them compatible with the new parameters of the car. In some models, you may need to replace the dual mass wheel. If you don’t do this in time, you may experience a failure that will lead you to change the dual mass wheel for a newer model anyway. It is best to choose a slightly stiffer one, but you have to reckon with the fact that driving a car with such modifications on a daily basis may not be very comfortable. In addition, there are more parts that need to be adjusted to the rigid and new wheel.
If you want to change the power of the engine in your car, remember that it is worth going to the dynamometer. This will allow you to see what speed and stopping distance your car achieved before the modifications, and what it will start to do after professional tuning. It is such graphs are able to show us the most. For many people, the best modification to the power of the engine and the car is to reduce the braking distance. This not only gives satisfaction while driving, but – what’s more – makes the driver can feel more confident and safer on the road.
Deciding on a modification to increase engine power, it is worth seeking advice from a specialist. Engine tuning is not easy and this is not a task that can be handled by beginners, without experience. Better give your car in the hands of a professional who knows how to deal with such changes in a safe manner. By doing so, it is possible to achieve power that will allow the car to reach its full potential.
