Diesel Performance Modules
Posted by admin in Car Performance on August 9, 2011
Diesel performance modules allow you to increase the horsepower and the torque of your diesel engine without having to reprogram the vehicles computer chip. They are usually very easy to install in places such as the gap between the computer and the fuel injection.
Those modules will provide all the additional horsepower by tweaking certain settings of the main computer chip. For example, there are modules that will electronically blueprint the injectors by taking out the 20% variance which was originally set at the factory. In the concrete situation, variance refers to the fuel pressure, fuel volume, and the injector pulse.
How Cold Air Intakes Work Towards Performance and Efficiency in your Vehicle
Posted by admin in Car Performance on August 9, 2011
Cold air intake systems are designed to channel cooler air into the engine bay in order to improve performance and increase fuel economy. The reason this works comes from the fundamental workings of the internal combustion engine.
A fuel and air mixture is introduced into the combustion chamber before being compressed and ignited. The resulting reaction is highly exothermic, producing energy in the form of rapidly expanding gas and heat, which is used to drive the piston down hence produce useful rotational energy.
Performance Chips And Programmers

In these days of hyped up gasoline prices any aftermarket improvements to your car’s performance are certain to negatively impact’s your car’s fuel economy right? In a word: wrong. Depending on the aftermarket improvements made to your vehicle, your car should run more efficiently and save you fuel, not consume up additional resources. This is all the more true with a performance chip or power programmer installed in your vehicle. Please read on to learn how a chip or programmer can enhance your car’s performance.
Your car comes equipped with a special computer chip that controls your engine’s output, particularly in the area of fuel delivery. With a performance chip, your car realizes a much more efficient delivery of fuel to your engine at specified times in the course of driving. The result? Noticeable increases in horsepower as well as in torque. Replacement chips from Superchips and Jet Chips will also help your car run more efficiently, resulting in slight increases in fuel economy.
3 Must Have BMW Performance Upgrades for Speed Junkies
Posted by admin in Car Performance on August 9, 2011
How do you make a fast car go even faster? This is the question countless BMW owners ask themselves once they feel the power of their highly-engineered, performance-driven vehicles in action. So how can you push your BMW to the next level? Fortunately, there are a wide variety of upgrades that can optimize speed and performance and help you get the most from your BMW. Here are just three reasonable, must-haves for BMW speed junkies.
Performance Chips. Aftermarket performance chips replace the factory-installed chip in order to boost power and performance electronically. A chip’s job is to adjust performance parameters, including timing, fuel-to-air ratio, turbo boost, and a performance chip allows you to change these parameters. This can increase your power and torque. A good BMW chip will adjust your air-to-fuel ratios and supply more fuel to the combustion chamber. The result? More power and more speed. You can choose the level of your upgrade, too, to achieve the level of performance you want.
