History of Turbochargers
Posted by Scott Goldfarb on
Engineers are always interested in new ways of increasing engine power. They tried many different techniques, and many developments have been made in the industry since the early days. Yet, the history of turbochargers dates back to the 19th century. Professionals tried upgrading the fuel and improving the combustion chamber. After some time, they discovered one of the most effective ways of increasing the power of their engines. That is to create pressure in the air within an intake system, so they needed a device blowing air into the engines, often referred to as a compressor. That’s when the turbocharger...
How to Prime a Fuel Pump Fuel Injection
Posted by Scott Goldfarb on
Replacing the fuel filters is necessary to maintain the optimal performance of your car’s engine. However, after successfully replacing them, it’s crucial to perform priming, i.e., removing any remaining air inside the injection system. To get your diesel engine running smoothly again, you must know how to prime a fuel pump fuel injection. The fuel pump also requires priming after it’s replaced or when the engine runs out of fuel. This ensures that the system is properly filled and there’s no remaining air inside, which would interfere with the fuel delivery and engine operation. So, we will provide a step-by-step...

What is Turbo Lag?
Posted by Scott Goldfarb on
Turbocharged vehicles can perform better as turbos utilize exhaust gases to provide extra energy. However, because of how they work, turbochargers don’t provide an immediate boost since there’s a delay in the acceleration response, leading to turbo lag. But what is turbo lag? To understand turbo lag, you need to know the mechanism and how it boosts the engine’s power. So, here we will discuss the concept of turbochargers and the occurrence of turbo lag, which is specific to turbocharged vehicles.
