It used to be true, but now there's not much more we can extract from an internal combustion engine without the help of ...

Forced induction, a key innovation in automotive engineering, has significantly transformed street performance vehicles. By ...

Ferrari S.p.A has filed a patent application with the European Patent Office for a forced-induction four-cylinder engine with an electrically operated turbocharger. This engine sounds different from ...

The reason for Project Pure Poncho's existence (aka the Mule) is for research and development. We want to explore as many aspects of engine theory and performance that we can, while still being ...

The tuning world has spawned a lot of evil breeds, and by this we mean motley methods of vastly increasing the power of an internal combustion engine. Apart from the mechanically-driven supercharger, ...

Forced induction is the only way to get a 1.5L four-cylinder engine to wheeze out as much air as and behave more like a V8 twice its size. Out of the multiple types of forced induction, (supercharging ...

Soon after the internal combustion engine was invented, technological advancements steadily improved its efficiency and boosted its power output. Increasing displacement—or, in simpler terms, ...

In the simplest of terms, an engine is nothing more than an air pump. Air from the atmosphere is drawn through the throttle body (or carb), into the intake manifold, where it is mixed with fuel (this ...
