Diesel engines might not be your first thought when you think of green vehicles. But they are more green than you may think. Turbochargers are known for increasing and enhancing speed, but that is not where the benefits stop. Diesel engines that are equipped with a turbocharger are able to utilize fuel more efficiently, which essentially cuts down the emissions the engine produces. Here are some common questions and answers about turbocharging and how it can help your vehicle burn fuel as efficiently as possible. How long have we had turbocharging technology? Turbocharging was invented in the early 1900s by...

If you have questions about a turbocharger CHRA, why it is balanced, and what the balancing process is like, you have come to the right spot. Find out all you need to know about the importance of CHRA balancing here. Q: What is the CHRA? A: A Center Housing Rotating Assembly, also known as a CHRA or a core assembly or turbo CHRA, is a major component of a turbocharger. It refers to the shaft wheel assembly installed in the center housing but without the compressor and turbine housings. It directs exhaust gas to power the turbocharger. The CHRA is...

Your diesel engine hasn't been up to par lately. You suspect you need a new diesel engine fuel injector. Before you buy a replacement, let's look at the signs your engine is giving you that the fuel injector needs to be replaced. Signs of a Faulty Fuel Injector Fuel Leak. A leak could be caused by a worn or improperly maintained fuel injector. You may notice a sharp and pungent smell of fuel when you are driving, which would indicate a leak. Loud Idling Noise. Instead of the softer rumble characteristic of idling, an engine with a faulty fuel injector...

Both four-stroke engines and two-stroke engines utilize the combustion of fuel to harness the energy necessary to run their respective engines. If they are accomplishing the same goal through the same process, how different can they be? Let's take a deeper look into how four-stroke and two-stroke engines function. Four-Stroke Engines Inside a four-stroke engine, there is a crankshaft. Piston rods connect the pistons to the crankshaft, causing the pistons to move up and down with each turn of the crankshaft. Above the crankshaft and pistons, there is a diesel camshaft. The camshaft and the crankshaft are connected by a...

Diesel fuel injection is a key part of any diesel engine system. Diesel fuel injection parts are the parts that ensure the engine receives the correct amount of fuel at the correct time by delivering the fuel to the cylinders as a fine mist (so it is easier to burn). Keeping fuel injectors unclogged is critical to a functioning fuel-injected engine. If a fuel injector is clogged, it can't inject fuel, and you face a number of problems. These problems can manifest themselves in different ways, such as: The engine gives off bad emissions The engine does not make power...
