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

When you drive around town or travel long distances you probably check that your car is in good working order. Driving around town requires a lot of stop and go action while travelling long distances tends to be a continuous driving action.  Either way there is an impact on the tyres of the vehicle. It is important to know when to change the tyres on your car so that they take you to your destination safely. Here are a couple of tips on when to vary the tyres. The tread is smooth. When the tyre tread is smooth, in other words it is less than 2 millimeters deep.  If the tread depth is less than 2 millimeters it affects the braking action of the car. The smooth tyres will not have sufficient grip on the road when you want to come to a complete stop, it will affect grip when going around a corner, and it'll certainly affect driving in wet and rainy conditions.  In each of these cases a smooth tyre could cause an accident. So confirm that you simply change the tyre w
