Rubber Bushings in Automotive Automotive control arm bushing have a very different purpose when compared to plain bearing bushings.Plain bearing bushings allow sliding movement between parts with reduced friction. Automotive bushings on the other hand are designed to limit sliding movement using rubber and other elastic materials to spring back parts to their original position. There is ...

The automotive market is becoming increasingly competitive, with the air conditioning system representing a crucial component of the vehicle. Within this system, the piping network constitutes an indispensable element of its development, serving to facilitate the circulation between the blower and compressor, as well as between the evaporator and engine. This article primarily outlines the develop...

The engine generates power by burning fuel within the cylinders to perform work. As the amount of fuel input is constrained by the volume of air drawn into the cylinders, the engine's power output is consequently limited. Should the engine's operating performance already be at its optimum state, increasing output power can only be achieved by compressing more air into the cylinders to increase the...

How does a turbocharger work? Turbocharging works by compressing air, enabling the engine to accommodate greater volumes of air. This facilitates thorough mixing and combustion of fuel and air, thereby enhancing the engine's power output. What are the advantages and disadvantages of turbocharging? The advantages include an engine power increase of over 30%, with theoretically more complete combust...

Adding a turbocharger kit to your vehicle is a complex and intricate process. Forced induction conversion (adding a turbocharger or supercharger) should be undertaken with meticulous care and a thorough understanding of the concepts required for the system to function smoothly. Below is an explanation of the fundamental components that should be included in any basic turbocharger kit and their res...
