Top 5 Car Performance Tips

Posted On July 18th 2009 By TeRBo. Under Turbo Articles  Tags: Car Customization, Car Performance, Car Tuning, Engine Tuning, Indian Car, New Cars  .

Car performance is an essential activity that includes customization, modification, and tuning of various car parts that help to boost performance, drivability, and fuel efficiency.

There are numerous ways to ramp up the performance. Many of the Indian car consumers tune their old cars to improve performance but some of them even customize new cars as per their likes and aspirations. Whether new or used, car tuning gives a complete new looks to the car.

Here are some of the most helpful tips for ramping up the car performance:

Body Kits:

Body kits include a wide number of car accessories like front bumpers, headlights, taillights, and spoiler. Some kind of modification in these car parts helps maximize performance. A good bumper with air dams help to streamline the car to a great extent by allowing air to pass through the upper edge of the car without putting any pressure on the underneath of the car. Side skirts are beneficial to increase the car’s stability on road, thereby delivering a better ride quality. Tuning the spoiler helps to add extra force on the rear wheel so that front wheels can be free of pressure. Headlights and taillights have nothing to do with performance but still many car enthusiasts customize these parts to add beauty and aesthetics to their cars.

Engine Tuning: Engine tuning is the most essential part of car customization and modification as the car’s engine plays a vital role in performance. The best thing is to add a performance chip that directly boosts the engine’s power to about 10%. Apart from that try to replace all heavy-weight engine components with light-weight materials because lighter the engine, better will be the performance.

Changing of the cams is also beneficial to have better performance. This helps to deliver more horsepower and thereby more power with comparatively less fuel-consumption. Some of them also do porting and polishing of cam heads to have better flow of fuel. Another best way to improve car’s performance is to force induction engines like turbos and superchargers to the car. Any good mechanic can safely and successfully replace the existing car engines with customized ones.

Brake Performance:

Brake performance is also important when it comes to boosting car performance. These don’t directly participate in enhancing power but indirectly they influence the working of the car. A simple addition of performance brake pads and fixing of performance discs enhances the braking power as well as the car performance as they have better ability to withstand comparatively higher temperatures than the regular brake pads.

Wheels Modification:

Wheels and tyres modification help to increase road stability and traction control. Replacement of chromed steel wheel is beneficial as those are heavier as compared to the OEM wheels. Heavy weight wheels eventually detract from the car performance as enhanced weight directly influences the delivered power and performance. Aluminium rims are lighter than chromed steel and will help increase performance.

Car Suspension:

Suspension also plays an integral role in reducing or increasing car performance. Addition of customized sway bars, strut bars, and coilover kits help attain a better suspension system. This helps to have a better hold during cornering and turning and also helps improve performance. Good components helps to maximize friction between tyres and the road, which eventually delivers a better and smoother ride quality even on bumpy roads.

Getting bored with driving your car lately? Perhaps it’s time to consider accessory additions or replacements. Here’s a few tips to help you rev up your ride:The InteriorTo give comfort and flair to your ride, you can load up on new aftermarket accessories readily available at your local car shop from various makers with impressive and stylish designs. Common updates for the interior include:Carpets/ floor mats, Seat covers, Headrests, Moon light, Strobe lighting, Neon lights, Mobile phone and drink holders, Seat belt harness and pads, CD Organizers, Cockpit films, Dash kits, Door guards, Gauge facers, Pedal pads, Shift pads, Steering wheels, Steering wheel covers, Steering wheel accessories and Sunshades.Let’s discuss some of the most important upgrades mentioned above. Carpets and mats are very important for your car as they help protect the floor against the entry of dust, rust and moisture which can easily eat up your floor without you knowing it. Seat covers on the other hand will help protect your seats while making them look more stylish. You can even have your covers as the highlight of your planned theme for the interior!Steering wheels or steering wheel covers will provide you better grip and handling on the wheel. Shift knobs look trendy while providing an improved grip. Pedal pads ensure better grip while adding accent to your cockpit. Seat belt harness and pads may not only look pleasing to the eyes but will help ensure that you and your passengers are safely and comfortably held to the seats when needed. Steering wheel accessories allow you to integrate important triggers and buttons into your steering wheel for ease and convenience. A Custom dash kit is one great way to compliment your interior theme and it usually comes in numerous finishes such as wood veneer and carbon fiber.The Exterior

Now that we’re done with the interior, we will now give your exterior a make over. Consider the following upgrades the next time you visit the auto shop:Paint, grille, billet door handles, wings, spoilers, headlights, tail lights and rims. For a really enhanced look, you can also go for a whole new body kit installation.In a summary, select the best type of paint (Acrylic or Urethane) and finish your car in a color that’s trendy or in tune with your taste and personality. Look for an aftermarket grille which is an upgraded version from your car’s brand or something that is custom designed. Spoilers will improve your car’s aerodynamics while giving it a fuller edge and design. A change in your headlight, tail light casing and bulb colors will also make your car attractive, not to mention improve your view. An upgrade in Mags/ Rims will definitely enhance your car’s profile as well as its grip on the road. Select from various finishes such as chrome, stainless-steel and alloy, that suit your taste. Always remember to compliment a rim change with the appropriate tires. Body kit installations are available at specialized car shops, look for one in your area that caters to quality personalized designs or is the town popular so you’re really getting your money’s worth.Under the hood

Engine – Have your engine overhauled to bring it back to pristine condition or consider installing a performance chip to boost it even further. Chips can easily be fitted with fuel injection and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Installing one often results with a 10-15% power boost in regular engines and a 10% horsepower increase in turbo engines.Brakes- You need to improve your brakes for better handling and safety. Install performance pads and upgrade performance discs. Performance brake pads enhance your braking power and can withstand much more abuse than their regular counterparts.Air Filter- Replace your air filter or the filter element in the air filter. For fuel injection engines, enhance the airflow by removing the original box containing the air filter and hoses and then put an induction kit in place. It looks like a cone filter that can be attached directly to the air flow meter, making a more direct and smooth airflow to the engine.Exhaust – Always see to it that nothing blocks the way of gases on their way out for greater power. You can replace the original exhaust with aftermarket assortments out in car shops. Simply select one that fits your taste.Suspension- You might want to lower your springs for a leaner look and get a better grip for your car. Springs reduce roll when taking corners and will give your tires better contact with the road. Although you might encounter slight problems when driving over small bumps, these springs will come in handy as they will stiffen and reduce roll when you take on corners. You can also employ shock absorbers and up-rated bushes to upgrade your suspension.Simply follow these simple tips and you’ll be zooming off to a brand new ride. Just don’t forget to buckle up while you’re at it.Jovir Amatongjamatong@autoterminal.com
