Tips: 5 Ways To Boost Your Car’s Performance

Efficiency Is the Key to More Power

Every car owner wants a vehicle that’s powerful as possible. One way of achieving this is through boosting engine power. The trick is to do it without diminishing the fuel economy/efficiency of your ride. With a simple change you’ll see the huge impact. But where do you start with this? And what are some extraordinary techniques you can use?

Here is a list of the top five ways to enhance your car’s performance and efficiency:

1)    Consider a Forced Induction System

To effectively boost horsepower and torque, consider investing in a forced induction system–such as a turbocharger or supercharger. Using a gas compressor, it will increase the air’s temperature, pressure and density. This will allow more air to flow throughout the engine block, resulting in an increase in the horsepower. Power when you need it, but more efficient running when you don’t

2)    Invest in a Cat-Back Exhaust System

Often, car owners don’t realize that the stock muffler and original exhaust pipe attached in the factory can directly affect a car’s performance. In order to improve it, it’s worth getting rid of these and investing in a cat-back exhaust system instead.

Fitted seamlessly behind the catalytic converter, it will typically include a resonator, muffler and a rear-pipe. Helping to increase the torque and airflow supply, the engine’s performance will immediately be improved.

3)    Lose Unnecessary Weight

This might sound like an obvious one, but it’s still something that many people forget. To boost your car’s performance and to ensure it’s as aerodynamic as possible, remove any unnecessary weight within it. By replacing heavy parts (e.g. extra seats and components within the engine) throughout the vehicle with lighter ones, your car can better your power to weight ratio in increase efficiency and performance.

4)    Replace Your Spark Plugs

One of the simplest and quickest tricks is to replace the spark plugs in your vehicle. The plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture – a vital action that drives your engine forward. Without regular replacement, your car’s performance will be drastically affected–not achieving the speed or fuel efficiency that you want. A critical engine component, it’s something that shouldn’t be ignored.

On modern cars, you will usually get a warning sign if they need to be replaced. However, with older vehicles you’ll likely need a mechanic to diagnose the issue and replace them for you.

5)    Utilize Performance Chips

To override the factory settings you can utilize performance chips. Adjusting the parameters (such as altering the amount of air it intakes or improving fuel efficiency) can increase torque and engine power in your engine.

Chips are a device that can be easily installed yourself if you’re familiar with the electronics of your car. If so, you’ll successfully maximize its driveability.

They can also be bought from many car part manufacturers, including TDot Performance.

Final Thoughts

Those are just 5 ways that you can boost your car’s performance. Of course, this isn’t a complete list and the technique that you use will depend on what your preferences are along with your budget. But whatever you choose to do, you’ll be one step closer to a more efficient and powerful vehicle that you love to drive.
