A Guide to Tuning Your Car

Image
Electronic tuning of engines has been known for almost a decade. Before that there are limited scopes to enhance the performance tuning. With the introduction of TCU management, this has changed. It was possible for tuners now to build on the excess air that the diesel ingests through the air filters to squirt more fuel that what is normally done. After this, TCU tune became popular as that gave tuners much greater scope to improve engine efficiency. Why Tune your Car? For enthusiastic drivers, it is quite attractive to extract extra performance from their vehicles. TCU tune aims to improve the engine efficiency and enhance normal driving conditions by a quite higher per cent. With the cost of fuel going up with each passing day, there is a more need of making your car economical by boosting its performance and with improved engine torque. Things to Remember before you Tune: There is a number of cheap tuning software available online. But, not all of them are goo...

A New Tuning Program for the New Porsche 991

Image
Porsche has unveiled a new generation of 911 called the 991, the new 991 is faster, longer, sleeker, and more powerful than the previous 997-generation models with new 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre engines.  Before it has even hit dealership lots and gone on sale, Markskituning.com, the renowned tuner, has developed a new preliminary upgrade program for the iconic sports car called 991 tuning . The kit consists of new Porsche rims, revised aerodynamics, engine upgrades, and interior refinements. Porsche has introduced two new variants of the 911; the Carrera and Carrera S. The base 911 Carrera is powered by a 3.4 litre horizontally opposed engine that produces 350 horsepower while getting 34 mpg. The 911 Carrera S on the other hand, sends 400 horsepower to each of the rear Porsche rims and achieves a respectable 32 mpg. We plan on upgrading each of the engines by introducing an exhaust system made from stainless steel to reduce backpressure, and new air filters. A softw...

Aftermarket Intercoolers for 991 Power Boosts

Image
Stock intercoolers on Porsche do not allow for peak performance. The stock intercoolers on these vehicles have a small frontal face and a basic design compared to certain aftermarket intercoolers. The main side-effect of the stock design is a decrease in engine power output. When dealing with design of 991 intercooler performance parts, simple can be good, but basic can always be beaten. When the surface area of an intercooler is small, incoming air isn't effectively cooled. In order to decrease the temperature of incoming air, a front-mounted intercooler must have a large surface area, an expansive core, well-placed fins, and rounded end tanks. Before discussing how select aftermarket intercoolers can boost power outputs in Porsche 991, it's necessary to review how an intercooler works in a turbo-charged vehicle.  An intercooler mounted in front of a turbo-charged engine receives the hot air from the turbocharger and cools it. The FMIC is an air-to-ai...
