About Optimising Car Performance Modifications: Simple
Product Description Optimising Car Performance Modifications is a highly practical and useful book that covers brilliant techniques to take the guesswork out of performance modification. Using just some low-cost tools, you can easily measure the flow restriction of your car's intake and exhaust. It's like having a huge flow-bench always available. By making some simple on-road measurements, you can plot the shape of the engine's power and torque curves - no dyno needed. This allows you to not only see if performance modifications to the engine are improving power, but also see where in the rev range those changes are occurring. Assess the worth of cams, a larger turbo, changed boost control or altered engine management mapping. But the book doesn't stop there - it also shows you how to measure your car's aerodynamics, seeing if at speed your car is developing lift or downforce. Want to make a rear wing work well? Test the angle at which downforce is greatest. You can also test the aerodynamic airflow through oil coolers, intercoolers and radiators. Interested in improving your suspension? By using a low-cost app and a smartphone, you can accurately measure suspension behaviour. If you want a practical, hands-on book that will immediately save you money, show where modifications are most needed, and can be used to assess performance outcomes, this is the book for you. Review Providing easy techniques for measuring the performance of your car on the road before and after modifications, this full-colour paperback from Veloce shows you how to plot the shape of engine power and torque curves, how to measure the airflow associated with air filters, throttle bodies and induction kits, how to flow-test exhausts, how to check oil cooler, intercooler and radiator airflow and how to measure braking and suspension behaviour using a smartphone. Boasting techniques that'll save you money whilst giving you real world results, this brilliant book (authored by AutoSpeed editor Julian Edgar) promises to enable you to make the most of your modified Porsche. - Ultimate Porsche magazine The art of vehicle tuning is one that has peaked and troughed spectacularly over the past thirty years. Yet, the desire of owners to modify their cars is undiminished. If anything, a book like this one cannot be described as anything less than apposite. Runaway parts and labour costs have forced a lot of tuned car owners back to their domestic garages, where it could be suggested that they are ill-equipped to maintain them properly. However, an action book that introduces surprisingly simple methods by which to test engine, suspension, brakes and aerodynamic performance gains more effectively and inexpensively will remove 'finger-in-the-air' guesswork and make the owner more aware of what he owns. Of paperback format, from Veloce's 'SpeedPro Series', the author debunks the headaches and heartaches and avoids talking down to the reader by explaining his own trial and error methodology. However, Australian-based Julian Edgar is a professional teacher, experienced writer and practical photographer. What he does not know about modern motorcars is hardly worth knowing but his skills in the modifying scene, notably in suspension, engine management and airflow, are extensive and will help other enthusiasts to maintain, make modifications, fix tuning problems and save a lot of money in the process. The 'how to' elements of the 72pp book are elementary and Edgar highlights the tools necessary to complete the tasks. Easy to understand and accompanied by a wealth of good photographs, if you are into car tuning, this is a cost-effective must-have title. - forcescarsdirect.com/news/article/motoring-books Providing easy techniques for measuring the performance of your car on the road before and after modifications, this full-colour paperback from Veloce shows you how to plot the shape of engine power and torque curves, how to measure the airflow associated with air filt
