Auto enthusiasts are always up for adding something extra to their vehicles for performance improvement. Tinkering in their engines and other car parts is almost like a hobby for them as every modification can give a boost to engine performance and fuel efficiency. Retuning and customization continue to grow among car owners whether it is about enhancing the performance or just giving an aesthetic touch to the look of the vehicle. If you are looking for car modifications to enhance your car’s performance, here are a few upgrades that will work.
Rims and Tyres
The amount of contact your car has with the surface of the roads is enough to make you understand the value of high-performance tyres. A good set of tyres is sometimes all you need to enjoy a smooth ride enough on the roughest of roads. High-performance tyres boost the speed of your car along with providing better control. While you are up for tyre upgrades, you might also want to replace the set of rims for even traction.
Brakes
Many car owners ignore to pay attention to the vehicle brakes while upgrading their cars. The boosted power and performance of your car is of no use when you don’t even have enough control to stop it when you need. With a good brake system and shorter braking speed, you can save a lot on your engine’s fuel consumption. You don’t need to invest in expensive brake kits when you can get better performance with average-sized brake kits that includes high-temperature brake pads, high-temperature brake fluid, and a set of stainless steel braided brake hoses.
ECU Program Remapping
Engine remapping has become so popular among car owners with which you can rewrite the whole computer controls to monitor the components in more detail. Whether you are up for a BMW engine reconditioning or the flashing the ECU of any other model, it will instantly enhance the overall performance of your vehicle. ECU remapping may include engine block rebooting, refacing or honing; crankshaft regrinds, polishing and crack testing or a complete engine overhaul.
Sway Bars
Sway bars are also known as stabilisers that connect the suspension to the body of the vehicle. A stiffer sway bar will ensure that there is less understeer on the front wheels and oversteer on the rear wheels.
Exhaust Modification
Modify your engine into a less restrictive mode so that it can allow the exhaust fumes to escape the engine faster. The faster these fumes are released, the better your engine will perform.
Air Filters
Contaminants and impurities can affect the performance of the engine with time as the airflow in the air filter gets disrupted. An aftermarket upgrade to the air filters will not only increase the airflow in the engine for a better air/ fuel combination, but it will also block the way for debris and impurities. Opt for high-quality air filters that are paper-based instead of cotton covered. This type of air filter is washable and reusable making them an inexpensive yet efficient modification to your vehicle.
