Tips to Improve Performance Diesel Engines

Improving the energy performance of diesel engines, unlike gasoline engines that have to replace components (depending on how much you want). Even to have to do pengorekan, because they want to boost significantly. While the diesel only do tuning and cleaning of the components. Here are the steps to improve the performance of diesel engine power:

- Recalibration injection pump. Function, set back in order to approach the performance of diesel sprays the way to go. In addition, regulate the consumption of diesel fuel into the chamber via the nozzle kompresai.
- Ration supply of diesel fuel plus, optimum 5-10 percent. Actually, the standard ration the supply of diesel fuel each car is different and has no standard.
- If you have added, do not forget to reset the valve to be more tightly. The result, in addition to added supply, power has increased. In effect, the consumption of a little more extravagant, but it's easier and faster done.
- Promote a little injection timing and the addition of an electrical signal to the fuel pump to cope with the demand for diesel fuel. These devices can also lighten the work and reduce the symptoms of injector pump fake wind.
- Replace air filters have a lower resistance. Eg open water filters, although they had often to clean it so that the air flow remains smooth.

For existing diesel tech commonrail, can by raising the turbo, turbine and intercooler. Or, could the Dastek Unichip piggyback installation, consisting of the following piggyback plug & play cable. The addition of optimal power can reach 70 HP.

Anti-drunk System

Some time ago the public got a bitter lesson in how dangerous driving conditions of the affected drugs. Whoever the driver, using sophisticated car and as good as any, if affected by drugs or alcohol, bitter events that could happen again.

In many countries, the authorities do a variety of prevention efforts, ranging from campaigns to strict punishment. They also involve other components of society, including the automotive industry.

As part of the members of the society, Toyota is responding to that condition by developing technologies to prevent accidents like that happen. The experts at Toyota developed a number of systems to detect early. The working principle of prevention of such systems is twofold. First, it detects the driver's awareness level through analysis of the alcohol content and pupils. Second, to prevent drivers who are not in condition to drive a car full consciousness.

One system that was introduced by using a number of sensors on the steering wheel plus a camera. The sensors work by measuring the alcohol content of driver's hands sweat. The camera function detects whether the focus of the driver's pupils into the street. When the sensors identify unusual patterns of driving, or pupils unfocused or alcohol content exceeds the limit, then the system will instruct the car to slow down and stop automatically. Thus the situation that occurred some time ago did not happen. Where the car drove at high speed which, according to police investigations reached 90km/hour.

Toyota is also developing a system that uses a breath analyzer that can analyze the driver's breath to determine alcohol content. This system also uses a camera to detect the driver's level of consciousness.

By holding the breath analyzer, the driver breathed. If its content exceeds the threshold, the system will alert drivers to immobilize a car, depending on the level of the driver's alcohol content.

What drives Toyota develops system like this?
In addition to its high rate of accidents related to alcohol and drugs, there is also a heart-wrenching event. August 2006 in Japan, a drunk driver crashed into another car carrying a family until the car was thrown out of the bridge. Three children were killed in the crash. It is encouraging authorities in Japan to provide tougher penalties on drunk drivers. The event also encourages manufacturers to equip his car with the features and systems that can ensure the safety of all people from irresponsible behavior.

What's the secret? Toyota's use of his experiences during 17 years to develop hybrid engines. Machines used to use Atkinson cycle with a high expansion ratio. Excellence efficiency Atkinson cycle is very high. Combined with Exhaust-Gas Recirculation is cooled further improve its efficiency.

Another technology that contribute to increased efficiency of the engine is an electric water pump driven from the battery, the design of the machine without belts (beltless), thereby reducing friction losses as well as controlling the volume of cooling water flow precision.

Hybrid transaxle consists of power control unit, power-generation motors and drives are also designed to be small and lightweight.

Gasoline engine can produce maximum power of 54 kW (74 PS) / 4800 rpm and peak torque of 111 Nm (11.3 kgf-m) / 3600-4400 rpm. While the motor can produce a maximum power of 45 kW (61 PS) with peak torque of 169 Nm (17.2 kgf-m). The combination of engine and motor power is 73 kW (100 PS).
