How to restore the "form" of a new car to an old car engine
(Baonghean.vn) - When a car engine degrades and weakens, it will cause unusual problems, not only affecting the journey but also causing costly repairs... So how can you increase the power of your car?
1. Rerun the driver program
 |
Reprogramming is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to increasing the "power" of a car engine. The method will change the program running time index, fuel-air mixture and other inputs... According to car tuning experts, reprogramming this program only works for turbocharged engines. If the driver tunes a normally aspirated engine, the efficiency can only be achieved by about 50%. |
2. Adjust wheels and rotate tires regularly
 |
You can adjust the camber of the front wheels so they point straight ahead and set a higher straight-line speed. Or you can rotate the tires regularly to accelerate faster, but this will make the speedometer inaccurate but is the least expensive solution. Or you can use lighter weight tires and the more expensive way is to use carbon fiber tires. |
3. Optimize the size of exhaust pipes
 |
To increase engine power, drivers should optimize the size of the exhaust pipes with larger diameters and straighter lines to help exhaust gases escape easily, thereby helping to save fuel for the vehicle. Manufacturers often design exhaust pipes compatible with engine capacity. Therefore, replacing the exhaust header will help the engine to be more airy and cool, helping to increase the vehicle's horsepower. |
4. Regularly replace air filters
 |
In addition to the above methods, drivers can replace or add an air filter to increase the optimal horsepower of the car. Replacing the air filter will help absorb cold air into the combustion engine, making the air inside more dense, mixing the air molecules with the fuel better. |
5. Cooling the air intake
 |
Cooling the air intake is a fairly simple and popular way to increase the power of a car engine. In fact, this method can increase the engine's power by 5 - 7 horsepower. However, this method is only applicable if the intake air volume is limited compared to normal, but if the engine's air intake system is working well, the intake air volume is large and clean, then switching to other methods will be better. |
* Things to know about car engine maintenance
- Change oil regularly:When the engine is running, all parts need lubrication. Over time, the oil loses its lubricating effect and the oil level also drops. If the oil is not changed on time, the friction process will wear out the parts, the engine will become contaminated or overheat, causing serious damage.
- Check cooling system:Controlling engine temperature is the job of the cooling system. Therefore, keeping the engine coolant level at the correct level is always a top priority... Check regularly and add water when it drops below the standard level.
- Check air filter system:Air needs to flow into the engine continuously, without interruption. The air filter keeps outside things from entering the engine. After use, this filter can become clogged... depending on road conditions, on average about 20,000km need to be replaced.
- Replace fuel filter:If the fuel filter is not replaced after a long time, fuel residue will penetrate inside, causing damage to the entire operating system. If there is no abnormality, the vehicle should be checked and replaced every 20,000km.
- Replace spark plugs and wiring system:A simple way to proactively protect your car's engine is to replace the spark plugs and wiring system... Manufacturers recommend that car users replace both the spark plugs and wiring system every 50,000km to ensure consistency in ignition and fuel combustion,
