Your vehicle’s cooling system is more than just a radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan, and coolant. Well, OK, it is exactly that, but there is a lot more to an effective cooling system than just the ...

One of the best aspects of a project build for automotive enthusiasts is the quest for improvements that will add to the vehicle in some way. There are several engine components to replace, add, or ...

Intakes are vital automobile components that work to bring oxygen – a key ingredient in an internal combustion reaction – into the engine’s combustion chamber to modulate how much oxygen mixes with ...

The demands on modern engine-cooling systems are complex. Although increased performance, reduced fuel consumption, longer durability and cleaner emissions may appear to be at odds with each other, ...

Sometimes theory is neat, but sometimes it fails to describe what actually takes place. The theory of internal combustion engines falls into this category, especially with respect to the function of ...

Optimisation of the intake system in internal combustion engines centres on enhancing the delivery of air (or air–fuel mixtures) to the combustion chamber in order to maximise power, reduce fuel ...

Internal combustion engines are fairly simply machines. When you break it down, they are nothing more than air pumps. When it comes to making horsepower and torque, the simple fact is the more air you ...

If, as has so often been said, an engine is nothing other than a simple air pump, then flow numbers alone should dictate the engines final output. From this it should follow that if it's just flow ...

Having a V8 engine does not always guarantee big power. Some, like the early 350-horsepower LS1, are tuned for drivability and usable power delivery, not necessarily outright horsepower performance.

Your car's cooling system is one of its most critical yet overlooked components. It prevents the engine from overheating, ...
