Interesting Guidelines Regarding Increasing Your Cars Performance
Many a times it may have happened to you that
, you are pressing down on your car's accelerator or gas pedal and still it is not reaching the speed that it should. One of the many problems that can happen is that your car's throttle bodies may need changing. In that case you can use the new v8 or v6 type of equipment which would let in the exact amount of air which would increase or decrease the rate of combustion that would in turn change the velocity of the car.
Having a good engine performance booster will not only increase the speed of the car but will also help in properly maintaining the car engine. In a gasoline based engine, a throttle is a device that regulates the amount of air intake into the engine. The throttle is actually a valve which is in turn connected to the accelerator of the car. When a driver presses the accelerator the valve is made open and more air gushes into the engine, which in turn burns more fuel and increases the speed of the car. On the contrary when the accelerator is not pressed, the amount of air that goes into the engine is very low and that does not burn the sufficient amount of fuel that is required to move the car. There are many ways to boost engine performance but in general all modern cars employ the v6 and the v8 category accessories. The v8 throttle bodies consist of 8 air chambers and butterfly valves that regulates the amount of air that goes into the fuel combustion cylinder. It also varies in form according to different types of engines that are there. For a 2000 4.7l engine of bore size 65-68.5 mm, and it costs you around $220 while that of a 2003-2007 4.7l engine of bore size 68.5-71 mm, it will cost you about $240.
Apart from the v8, another type that is also quite popular is the v6 one. The v6 throttle bodies consist of 6 throttles. Despite the difference, there are a few similarities between the two types of turbochargers. For example, they are made of superior quality billet machined aluminium housing and the assembly includes linkages made of stainless steel. In general these speed boosting accessories consists of throttles of 45 mm dimension and they are shaft less with an extension which is 70 mm long and ram pipes which are about 40 mm long. In today's world it is even possible to fit in a v8 in an engine which would have required the v6 one. This is mainly done to increase the amount of air that can flow into the combustion cylinder and hence increases the speed of the engine. But there is one thing that you need to know is that the size of the throttle boosters varies from car to car in accordance with the car manufacturer. Thus it is very important that you choose the right one and see your car go vroom !
