Anyone who decides to seriously tuning their car is unlikely to ignore the engine. What does it mean forced? In medicine, there is such a thing as forced diuresis. This means an accelerated detoxification method. The key word here is accelerated. It is this concept that is embedded in the phrase “forced engine”.
What it is?
Going to force the engine, they improve its characteristics by various methods, thanks to which the motor reveals all its capabilities and starts working at much greater power. It is often possible to increase the quality indicators twice or more. And all this without loss of engine life.
Methods that increase engine performance are:
- actions that do not have the nature of constructive changes;
- actions with constructive changes;
- compressor installation.
Work without design changes
The most common way to make a forced engine is by flashing the ECU or, as it is often called, chip tuning. At the same time, the standard program is replaced with a more "working", reinforced. She will increase power by about ten percent.
Another known method is to replace the intake and exhaust manifolds. The common "spider" will increase power by another five percent.
In order for the engine to "breathe fully", the catalyst is completely removed. However, it should be borne in mind that the exhaust gases will be much dirtier.
The last refinement without structural changes is carried out in the same part - the muffler. Here put forward flow. Then the exhaust will not come into contact with various partitions, which will increase power.
Such methods are the simplest and cheapest. But if the goal is for the engine to become truly forced, it will require more serious work.
Tuning with design changes
Such actions are more expensive. They can reach the cost 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 carried out:
- increase cylinders, expanding the volume of the engine from 1.6 liters to 2.0 in some cases;
- do "sleeve", that is, mount more wear-resistant parts;
- establish another version of the crankshaft made of high strength metals and able to withstand heavy loads;
- it is placed in a special block with inserts, which are replaced with more reliable ones;
- then they replace the pistons, connecting rods and small rings - they, in addition to special materials, acquire light weight;
- at the end, the turn comes to replacing the head of the block 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 contains the whole range of work on tuning the motor. Despite the fact that this is far from being the case, such a revision serves as a very important step towards making the engine forced. This will greatly increase productivity. By installing equipment with wiring from the crankshaft, you can improve the torque.
Conclusion
Thus, it is understood that complex and delicate work is required to obtain a forced engine. This includes the use of virtually all nodes of the unit and even firmware. Therefore, before deciding on such a step, you need to study and understand in detail everything that you are going to do in the motor.
