Those who decide on a serious tuning of their car are unlikely to ignore the engine. What does forced mean? In medicine, there is such a thing as forced diuresis. This means an accelerated method of detoxification. The key word here is "accelerated". It is this concept that is embedded in the phrase "forced engine".
What is this?
Setting out to boost the engine, various methods improve its performance, thanks to which the engine reveals all its capabilities and starts to work at much greater power. Often it is possible to double the quality indicators or more. And all this without loss of motor resource.
Ways to increase engine performance are:
- actions that do not have the character of constructive changes;
- action with design changes;
- compressor installation.
Work without structural changes
The most common way to doforced engine - this is the firmware of the ECU unit or, as it is often called, chip tuning. At the same time, the standard program is replaced by a more “working”, enhanced one. It will increase power by approximately ten percent.
Another well-known way is to replace the intake and exhaust manifolds. A common "spider" will increase power by another five percent.
In order for the engine to "breathe to the fullest", the catalyst is completely removed. However, it should be taken into account that the exhaust gases will be much dirtier.
The last revision without structural changes is carried out in the same part - the muffler. Here they put a straight line. Then the exhaust will not come into contact with various baffles, which will increase the power.
Such methods are the simplest and cheapest. But if the goal is to really boost the engine, it will require more serious work.
Tuning with design changes
Such activities are more expensive. They can reach the value of the motor itself. Some elements, for example, are changed to reduce friction. In general, you need to understand in this case that the motor will be completely rebuilt.
The following improvements are being made:
- increase the cylinders, expanding the engine displacement from 1.6 liters to 2.0 in some cases;
- do "sleeve", that is, they mount more wear-resistant parts;
- install another version of the crankshaft, made of high-strength metals andcapable of withstanding heavy loads;
- it is placed in a special block with inserts that are changed to more reliable ones;
- then they replace pistons, connecting rods and low-removable rings - they, in addition to special materials, acquire light weight;
- at the end it's time to replace the block head and camshafts - here the main task will be to better fill the combustion chamber, and for this the phases are made wider.
Compressor installation
This method is very effective. Some even believe that it is the whole range of work on tuning the motor. Despite the fact that this is far from the case, such a refinement is a very important step towards making the engine forced. This will greatly improve performance. By installing equipment with wiring from the crankshaft, you can improve the performance of torque.
Conclusion
Thus, it is clear that complex and delicate work is required to get the engine boosted. This includes the involvement of virtually all units of the unit and even firmware. Therefore, before deciding to take such a step, you need to study in detail and understand everything that you are going to do in the motor.
