Most of the things I wrote about turbo chargers also apply here. The super chargers also pumps air into the engine, however, the only difference here is that the air pressure depends only from the RPMs of the engine. The basically are two types of superchargers: centrifugal and root. …

The idea behind turbo chargers is actually pretty simple. There are 2 turbines installed on the same axis. The first one is attached to the exhaust manifold (the hot side) and the other one to the intake manifold. It pumps air into the engine. So, how does all this …

Well, that’s only natural. There is absolutely no way to increase the engine power without also increasing the fuel consumption. If the RMP were to stay under the 2500 mark, the fuel consumption would remain the same as before, but I doubt it that there is a tuning freak who’s …

The right answer of this question can only be found once we fully analize what inercion and thermal forces are. Scientific research has shown us what they are:
The biggest load on the engine occurs only on the highest and lowest dead point. Normally, the engine load is so high that …

As I said before, drifting is a controllable slide. Professional drifting competitions are won not by the fastest drivers, but the ones who pass as close as humanly possible to the so called clipping points.
Although it may look like that drifting can’t be controlled, drivers are actually exercising precise …

The invention of the Limited Slip Differential has revolutionized the motor sports world forever. LSD has enabled drivers to use new driving techniques. Drifting was invented that way and even nowadays it still is the most amazing and beautiful man and machine symbiosis every witnessed.
There is a difference between …

Even after buying an engine and a suitable bmw turbo kit, there are still parts that need to be assembled.
The cooling system:
There are two types of cooling systems- intercoolers and water coolers. Pick carefully, the turbo kit’s performance greatly relies on the cooling system. It’s important that the air …

There are several different companies that manufacture bmw turbo kits- Garret, Holset, KKK, ZK, Borg Wagner, Mitzubishi, IHI and etc. Each of them manufactures different types of bmw turbo kits and you will surely be able to find the one best suiting your car’s engine amongst them.

Avoid two types of bmw engines at all costs- the high compression engine and the small sized ones, However, even the high compression ones can be fitted with a turbo kit, provided that the fuel you are using has a high octane number. There are also small turbo kits …
