*HELP* need good technical website info for car modding?
writing a 10 page english research paper, already have 12 down. Teacher said my paper is informative but not enough analysis. If anyone can give me a website of a website that explains in technical detail of suping up cars, and benefits vs cons and scientifically, it would be much appreciated if you find one. Thanks. And yes I've already been to howstuffworks.com but it doesn't talk about replacing airbox w/ intake and stuff like that, just basic engine stuff.

Re: *HELP* need good technical website info for car modding?
if you actually read and UNDERSTOOD what howstuffworks was saying then you would UNDERSTAND how various modifications affect a car. a Research paper is about gaining UNDERSTANDING of what's going on and now reading things and then just spitting them back out without having a clue why thats so.

Re: *HELP* need good technical website info for car modding?
I understand how various modifications affect a car. How it affects it scienfically is a different story. I know that colder air means more air can be sqeezed into a piston, and more fuel can be added for a bigger explosion thus more energy. But I just want to get more websites for more technical information

Re: *HELP* need good technical website info for car modding?
What kind of technical information? I find that in general, most websites on the subject are severely lacking detailed information, or full of false information. If you tell me more specifically what you want, I could probably recommend a few good books.

Air doesn't go in a piston.

Re: *HELP* need good technical website info for car modding?
ya i was fixing to say that. and a cold air intake doesnt make a very large difference in fuel consumption. the cold air does little for performance. its mostly a less restrictive intake that gives the enine its slight HP jump.

air doesn't go into a piston, but air/fuel mixture does right?

You just mixed up the piston with the cylinder, that's all.
