Smaller engines with fewer cylinders and less displacement could produce more power and torque by turbocharging. A turbo or turbocharger is a forced-induction device that utilizes exhaust gasses to ...

Keeping a car cool seems a simple process from a mechanical point of view; slap a huge radiator on it, add some piping and fill it up with water. As long as the temperature gauge stays low enough, ...

The key to making more power with a diesel engine is being able to add more fuel and air to the combustion chamber. However, along with the acts of compressing more air (increasing boost pressure) and ...

It seems that all the marketing of the 1990s has paid off in an unexpected way for the automotive aftermarket: everyone wants a turbo. Turbos make big power without the headaches of belt-driven ...

An intercooler cools air that’s been compressed by a supercharger or turbocharger before it enters a vehicle's engine. The laws of thermodynamics mean that compressing air necessarily heats it up. But ...

After mounting a turbocharged K24 engine, fabricating custom intercooler piping, routing wiring, and plumbing the cooling system, this Porsche 944 project seemed closer than ever to its first startup.

Excess heat is the enemy when it comes to internal combustion engines. Operating temperature is ideal, but any degree above that starts to slowly sap power, put fluids to the test, increase friction, ...
