Another plus is that nitrous has a cooling effect. Cooler intake air is denser and contain more oxygen atoms per cubic foot. So cooler air will allow more fuel to be burned and in turn make more power. A 10 degrees celsius drop in temperature can add 2% power to an engine. Unlike our atmosphere, nitrous is injected from a pressurized bottle. And when the pressurized ... [ more ]

On wet nitrous systems, nitrous-oxide and fuel are injected through the same nozzle. There are two solenoids: one for nitrous, one for fuel. Two lines run to the wet system nozzle, which is different than dry system nozzle, as wet system nozzles have two inlets: one for nitrous and one for the fuel (see image below) Wet systems will make the upper intake wet with fuel. ...

Before we go into detail, simply, during the combustion process in an engine, at about 300 degrees celsius nitrous oxide breaks down into nitrogen and oxygen. This extra oxygen creates additional power by allowing more fuel to be burned. The power always comes from the fuel source. If you add only nitrous oxide and do not add additional fuel, that will not give extra power, ... [ more ]

Before we go, I decided to write down a few lines about nitrous oxide so things will be more clear while reading the article. First of all, Nitrous Oxide is not a fuel (Yes, that's true, we will talk about this later on) Nitrous is not flamable, thus, the scene which Brian shouts in Fast & the Furious "NOOsSSS!!" and the green Mitsubishi explodes is not impossible. Using ... [ more ]

I will use the AX, Saxo, ZX, 106, 206, and 306 in this section as examples. Most aftermarket suspension kits available do not take the factors described in the spring section into account, the kits supplied usually have a star beside them, which when you investigate it, inform you that, only ...

Basically, Spring Rate is the amount of weight needed to compress a spring a certain . Springs are rated in LB/in (in metric system kg/mm), or specifically, how many pounds of weight are required to depress the spring by one inch. To convert LB/in to kg/mm international, you must divide divide figure by 56. Consider you have 2 springs having different spring rates: ... [ more ]

Choosing the right motor oil
(According to climatic conditions in your area)

In our past article's Engine Oil and Additives we know that we wrote so long, so some of you may think that everything is messed up. Although we didn?t receive any e-mails requesting a shorter one about engine oils, we decided to write another one to help choose the right motor ... [ more ]

BILSTEIN SPRINTLINE
Let's begin with my Bilstein story..
On June '98 I was in Paris for a holiday. I took a train to a suburb of Paris and found Eurofac, the main distributor of Bilstein in France.
The boy called Dominic was so surprised when he learned that I'm from Turkey, so he made a 20% discount as a gesture for my Bilstein Sprintline shocks. ... [ more ]

Has nothing to do with the horsepower, as the name says. Imagine your original gear level is in neutral and you pushed the gear lever forward to 1st gear. How many centimeters did the gear lever travel? 8 cm? 10 cm? It must be something like that.
The problem will be much noticed when changing gear from 1st to 2nd or from 3rd to 4th. This is because the travel distance ... [ more ]
