The Power of Turbochargers: Boosting Performance and Efficiency

Introduction In the world of internal combustion engines, turbochargers have become a popular method of increasing power and efficiency.  This gas compressor, often referred to simply as a turbo, is a form of forced induction that forces air into the engine, resulting in more power for a given displacement.  In this blog, we will explore the inner workings of turbochargers and their impact on engine performance. The Components of a Turbocharger At its most basic level, a turbocharger consists of three major components: the turbine, the compressor, and the bearing system that supports the turbine shaft connecting the turbine and compressor wheels.  The turbine is located on the hot side of the turbocharger and is bolted onto the engine's exhaust manifold.  As the engine runs, the exhaust gases pass through the turbine, spinning a fan called the turbine wheel. This spinning motion converts heat and pressure into rotational force, which in turn spins the compressor wheel.  The compres

Types of Wheels And Pros And Cons of Different Types of Wheels (Rims)

These aforementioned wheels differ from each other depending on their durability and appearance. Now before much ado, we'll be listing the pros and cons of these types of the tire. Alloy Rims: Pros Alloy rims are lighter than steel. The alloy has better acceleration and agile performance as compare to its counterpart steel. Wheels made up of the alloy can be customized into various sizes and designs. Alloy rims are less in weight that's why less strain on the suspension components. Better at dispersing heat away from the brake components as compared to steel wheels. Cons Alloy rims break effectively when compared with the steel wheels. Alloy wheels are vulnerable to cosmetic damage due to acid cleaners and saltwater corrosion.
