Hybrid Car Performance

The key of Hybrid Car Performance is more efficient and the gasoline engine can be much smaller than the one in a standard car. Usually, most cars require a huge engine to produce enough power to speed up the car quickly. In a small engine, however, the efficiency can be improved by using lighter and parts, by operating the engine closer to its maximum load, and by reducing the number of cylinders.

This enlighten why two of the same model cars with different engines can get different performance. If both cars are driving at the same speed along the freeway, the one with the smaller engine uses less energy. They have the same amount to output of power to drive the car, but the small engine uses less power to drive itself. But how this smaller engine can offer the power your car needs to keep up with the more powerful vehicles on the road?

Let us compare hybrid car with its small gas engine and electric motor with the Chevy Camaro with its big V-8 engine. Camaro’s engine has more than enough power to handle any driving situation. The engine in the hybrid vehicle is more powerful to move the car along on the freeway, but it needs help when it needs to get the car moving in a hurry. That ‘help’ comes from battery and the electric motor – these systems steps in to provide the Hybrid Car Performance extra power.

Conventional car with their gas engine is concentrate in peak power. But most drivers usually use the peak power of their engines less than one percent of the time. The hybrid car uses a much smaller engine, one that is sized closer to the average power requirement than to the peak power.

How to Improve Car Engine Performance for Free

This weHow is for older cars with distributor ignitition. More recent cars with electromagnetic ignition requires CPU upgrade to advance the timing (IOW, not free.)

Most cars come from the factory with ignition timing that is in the middle of the recommended range. On Hondas and Accords, this range can be 14 DTDC to 20 DTDC depending on the model/engine. In other words, you can advance the timing of your engine to the top limit of the recommended range, which can provide more HP and better mileage.

Alloy engine components like coolant tanks, swirl pots and oil catch tanks are a popular conversion on many performance cars.

I used Bailey motorsport for my many Cosworth parts including coolant tank.

Supercharger Performance and Engine Performance Parts

he heart of the upgrade package is a Lysholm twin screw compressor elevating intake pressures to a modest 6 psi. This fairly low boost pressure means that the engine’s static compression ration can be left untouched and that the supercharger package can be a true ‘bolt on’ affair. Following through with this ‘bolt on’ strategy, MTM have coupled the supercharger with an integrated top mount intake manifold with integrated air to water intercooler courtesy of Laminova intercoolers. Also in the mix is an MTM bolt-on cat-back exhaust system exiting in an exotic dual dual (that’s four outlets) 3″ tips.

The car is further enhanced with suspension modifications, lowering, lightweight body parts rounding off the performance package. The result of all of this work is shifting power up from 420 hp @ 7800 rpms to 540 hp @ 8220 rpms. Torque is amplified from an original 317 ft lb , 430 Nm @ 6000 rpm to a new 412 ft lbs, 560 Nm @ 3700 rpms.

The attention to sound engineering design in this kit (using a twin screw supercharger, coupled with an integrated manifold and integrated intercooler) resulting in short intake path lengths, means that the whole package is both still highly throttle responsive as well as having more power delivery on the top end. Not only is it impressive that the car gains over 120 hp with this modification, but more impressive is that the power band growns from 1800 rpms on the stock high-revving V8 to a very meaty 4500 rpms between peak torque and peak power. This not only makes the car faster in a straight line, but makes it much more versatile on exiting corners and carrying its hefty weight and the weight of the AWD Quattro system in the lower rev range.

Performance Brake Lines

If you're increasing your car's engine performance, you'd better look at upgrading the braking performance, too. After all, more engine power equals a need for more stopping power. While high-performance brake parts like multi-piston calipers and ceramic brake pads are popular choices, upgrading your brake lines can improve performance too.

As we mentioned earlier in this article, braided steel lines are a good choice for performance brake lines. They keep braking performance strong because they don't swell like rubber lines can. A swollen line decreases the bake fluid pressure, which will compromise the vehicle's overall braking power. A result of this is diminished brake pedal feel: It will be difficult for the driver to modulate the brakes properly because the pedal will feel squishy or sloppy. Braided steel brake lines also protect against nicks and tears from road debris while maintaining flexibility and a firm grip on the brake part it connects to.

Performance brake lines can also come in different materials, like braided carbon fiber (which is very expensive), Kevlar or even Teflon. While these materials add strength, durability and performance, they also add a significant price increase.

Before you decide to upgrade your brake lines, it may be wise to take a good look at the type of driving you typically do. If you routinely take your car to the racetrack or your truck on off-road adventures an upgrade might be worth it. But if you simply use your vehicle to commute to and from work each day, it's probably better to stick with less expensive lines that are easier to maintain.
