Fuel Saving 101-Part 1: Air Filter

By -
Are you driving a car? I’m sure most of us do.  Do you know that our car is running on internal combustion engine?  Internal combustion engine (ICE) is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (AIR) in a combustion chamber.  The compressed mixture of air & fuel is then ignited by a spark plug.  All combustion engines are equipped with a combustion air filters.  The combustion air filter prevents abrasive particulate matter from entering the engine’s cylinders, where it would cause mechanical wear and oil contamination.
Most vehicles use a pleated paper filter element in the form of a flat panel.  This filter is usually placed inside a plastic box connected to the throttle body with duct work to provide cool inlet air.  Pleated paper filter elements are the nearly exclusive choice for automobile engine air cleaners, because they are efficient, easy to service, and cost-effective.  However, air flow are somewhat restricted thus “robbing” away some of the engine performance.
By replacing OEM air filters with cotton made K & N, The Original High-Flow Air Filter, engine performance can by maximize by allowing a maximum air flow that the engine needs for combustion.

Since 1969 K&N Engineering has been designing, manufacturing, and enhancing High-Flow Air Filters for the automotive enthusiast interested in maximizing horsepower and acceleration.  Since their humble beginnings they have designed and manufactured over 2,400 High-Flow Air Filters to fit most modern passenger vehicles and over 500 High-Flow Air Intake Systems to fit vehicles driven by enthusiast minded drivers.  They not only have more applications than any other manufacturer of similar product, they invented the High-Flow category and the High-Flow Technology that supports it.  K&N also makes thousands of racing and specialty type air filters and is the #1 Filter in NASCAR®.
The K&N FilterCharger® air filter is designed to achieve high, virtually unrestricted air flow while maintaining filtration levels critical to ensure long engine life.  Their automotive OE (original equipment) replacement air filters generally add 1-4 horsepower.  Their high flow cotton gauze air filter is washable, reusable and built to last for the life of an automotive engine.  K&N air filters consist of four to six sheets of cotton gauze layered between two sheets of aluminium wire mesh.  This media is then pleated and oiled to enhance its filtering capabilities and overall performance.  K&N Air Filters were created for an environment requiring maximum horsepower and enhanced acceleration in addition to protection from the dirt.  The result is an air filter that allows dramatically more air into an engine, is washable and reusable, and will protect your engine for the life of your vehicle.
Having a high-flow air filter installed allows more air to flow freely enabled your engine to breath easily.  This helps to increase the engine & combustion efficiency.  Efficient combustion requires less fuel to produce the same amount of energy thus helps to reduce the petrol usage.
So get your OEM paper pleated air filter replaced with K & N High-Flow cotton pleated Air Filter TODAY & start to enjoy SAVING $$ in petrol usage!

Honda CR-Z Specification & Maintenance

By -
Image
Honda CR-Z The Honda CR-Z was a sport compact hybrid electric automobile manufactured by Honda and marketed as a "sport hybrid coupe." The CR-Z combines a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain with traditional sports car elements. The CR-Z is the sixth unique version of Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) technology since the technology was first launched in the first generation Insight 3 door hatchback. Sales of the CR-Z began in Japan in February 2010. IMA - Integrated Motor Assist The Honda IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) System provides you with better fuel economy.  An electric motor assists the vehicle's gasoline engine when accelerating, and reduces the load on the engine to improve the fuel economy.  When decelerating, the turning wheels activate the electric motor, which generates electric power to charge the IMA battery.  When you come to a stop, an Auto Idle Stop function shuts off the engine under certain conditions. The IMA battery's ...

Toyota Hilux Rear Anti Roll Bar/Sway Bar

By -
Image
An anti roll bar (anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is a part of many automobile suspensions that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities.  It connects opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring.  A sway bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness - its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction. An anti-sway or anti-roll bar is intended to force each side of the vehicle to lower, or rise, to similar heights, to reduce the sideways tilting (roll) of the vehicle on curves, sharp corners, or large bumps.  With the bar removed, a vehicle's wheels can tilt away by much larger distances (as shown by the SUV image above). Although there are many variations in design, a common function is to force the opposite wheel's shock absorber, spring or suspension rod to lower, or rise to a similar level as the other wheel. ...
