Excess heat is the enemy when it comes to internal combustion engines. Operating temperature is ideal, but any degree above that starts to slowly sap power, put fluids to the test, increase friction, ...

Smaller engines with fewer cylinders and less displacement could produce more power and torque by turbocharging. A turbo or turbocharger is a forced-induction device that utilizes exhaust gasses to ...

, any increase in boost pressure also increases the temperature of the air entering the engine. This is far from ideal, as it reduces the density of the air. This then means that less oxygen is ...

The key to making more power with a diesel engine is being able to add more fuel and air to the combustion chamber. However, along with the acts of compressing more air (increasing boost pressure) and ...

Back in the 1660s, chemist and physicist Robert Boyle discovered the connection between pressure (p), volume (V), and energy (K). He based his theories, which became known as Boyle’s Law, on his own ...

Nothing quite gets the blood flowing like popping a hood and seeing a blower sitting atop just about any engine. From old hot rods, to drag cars, to even late-model vehicles that came with a huffer ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The 6.7L Cummins engine is known for its reliability and ...
