General Motors has just been granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark office for a two stage turbo setup with variable geometry in an internal ...

Turbochargers are one of the best methods for extracting more power out of an engine with less total displacement. Unlike a supercharger, which compresses air at the intake stage and runs off a belt ...

Your intake manifold. It takes in air and sends it to your engine's combustion chamber. This is basically the start of the combustion process. After all, you can't have combustion without air.

While variable geometry engine air intakes were banned from Formula 1 in 2006, only to become legal again later on, you can find this technology in many road cars today. Typically, it goes by the term ...

Engine science isn’t quite a lost art, but it’s something that is much more understood than it used to be. Now, engines are incredibly talented at everything thanks to innovations in combustion ...

Swapping intakes for more power is nothing new in the world of performance. Even with the excellent design of today’s LS-based small-blocks, and all their modern technology, the new top dog in the ...

Form and Function - A Look at Intake Manifold Design: Intake manifolds play a huge part of power production, here’s some of the hows and whys Internal combustion engines are fairly simply machines.

Top Swap: Let your LS3 breathe easier and make more power with an easy LSXr intake manifold upgrade from FAST Swapping intakes for more power is nothing new in the world of performance. Even with the ...

Internal combustion engines are fairly simply machines. When you break it down, they are nothing more than air pumps. When it comes to making horsepower and torque, the simple fact is the more air you ...
