Turbo Basic
we see the basic layout of the components of a turbocharger system. Exhaust gases leave the engine turbo manifold, this replaces the stock exhaust manifold. One thing missing from the diagram is an external wastegate. The wastegate is used to control boost levels by allowing exhaust gases to bypass the turbo, thereby decreasing the volume [...]
3D How engine is made and works
How Does a Engine Work?
Almost all cars currently use what is called a four-stroke combustion cycle to convert gasoline into motion. The four-stroke approach is also known as the Otto cycle, Nikolaus Otto, who invented it in 1867. The four strokes are basic:
1. Intake2. Compression3. Power4. Exhaust
1. Intake – The piston starts at the top, the intake valve opens, [...]
What is VTEC?
VTEC is Acura/Honda-speak for Variable Vavle Timing and Lift Electronic control. The heart of VTEC system is the design of the camshaf, with three lobes for each pair of intake and exhaust valves, olue the corresponding rocker arms that actuate the valves. At low-to mid-range engine speeds, the valves are opened and closed by the [...]
