[QUOTE="karl_razlie, post: 1063726445, member: 12341"] [B]The 5 main elements of engine tuning:[/B] [COLOR=Red][B]1- Intake Parts[/B][/COLOR] In order to increase intake efficiency, the most important thing is to remove anything that could become a restriction and guide air smoothly into the engine. [COLOR=Red][B]2- Exhaust Parts[/B][/COLOR] The basics of exhaust tuning are in the increase of exhaust efficiency but it is not right to assume that the least resistance leads to the highest efficiency. By removing the muffler, exhaust resistance is radically reduced but engine torque is also reduces, adversely affecting launch and vehicle acceleration so it is necessary to have just the right amount of exhaust back pressure (resistance). [COLOR=Red][B]3- Forced Induction/NA Bigger= TBO[/B][/COLOR] Raising boost pressure the engine is able to take in more air or feed more air for NA [COLOR=Red][B]4- Fuel Management[/B][/COLOR] In order to burn fuel completely, it is necessary to have approximately 15g of air for every 1g of fuel (15:1) and this is called stoichiometric air fuel ratio.
