Turbocharger

This year 2014 , one of the significant changes in formula 1 is change of power units from 2.4L V8 to 1.6 L V6 turbo engines. 

Question is what turbo engines really means. 

In nutshell, current engines leads to lot of waste gases after the combustion cycle, but with introduction of turbo modules the exhaust gas is used to compress and feed more air into the combustion engine leading to improves combustion and improved power with smaller engines. 

Put it this way, 

Old technology theory states.: 

More Power directly proportional to number of combustion chamber. So V8 generates more power than V6 

Turbo technology states: 

More power directly proportional to improvement in air combustion by compressing more gas in combustion chamber. So V6 with turbo can generates pretty much same power as non turbo V8's

If all the above are still confusing, check the video:

The only loss would be (which i hope not) is engine noise.I still love the V8 sound, will take some time to get used to V6 turbos.

Throttle System Cleaning - Toyota Camry 2002 - Idling Issue

In my previous post i did mention about idling issue which i did hope will be resolved by cleaning throttle system.

So i tried to clean and to be honest won't say  it was a cake walk mainly for a person who is new to ripping car parts. There is always an element of unknown(anxiety' probably is right word) when you are trying to open up some of  the car parts yourself.

Well to summarize if you are planning to clean yourself, so have the following handy :

- CRC Throttle Body and Air-Intake Cleaner [ There are more brands but i used this one]
- Screw driver / Rachet with 10mm screw opener.[ I got this from home depot for 6 bucks]

Image below shows the part you need to clean.

Search for "Toyota Camry Year XXXX" in youtube and there are tons of video to take you through the steps.

Also putting all parts together if you see engine or any other light on then you can get rid of it by disconnecting the negative terminal of battery and putting it back.

Just be cautious, its quite easy to pull some tubes and  break it.

Enjoy Ripping :-)
