Braking System

We all have fun pushing down on the brake pedal which slows a car to stop. But many are not aware that, how does it happens? Do you know how does your car transmit the force from your leg to the wheels? How does it multiply the power so that it is sufficient to stop something as big as a car? In this section we are aiming to give information about brake system, we would ...

Transmission

What is a transmission The transmission is a device that is connected to the back of the engine. It transmits mechanical power from the engine to the drive wheels. The transmission is used to reduce the revolutions of the crankshaft down to a reasonable value by using interlocking gears to reduce the number of revolutions. By doing so, it makes more effective usage of the engine's torque and helps to keep the engine operating at an appropriate...

How a Car Clutch Works

For most who have driven for a few years, you know that there are options to how you are able to control your vehicle.  In most cars, this is the difference between driving a manual or automatic car.  With manual transmission, you can expect to also have to use a car clutch in order to catch your speed and to go to the next gear, while automatic options will take care of the switch in gears for you.  If you are interested in getting...

Two Stroke Engine

A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes the process cycle in one revolution of the crankshaft (an up stroke and a down stroke of the piston, compared to twice that number for a four-stroke engine). This is accomplished by using the end of the combustion stroke and the beginning of the compression stroke to perform simultaneously the intake and exhaust (or scavenging) functions....

Four Stroke Engine

A four-stroke engine, also known as four-cycle, is an internal combustion engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes—intake, compression, power, and exhaust—during two separate revolutions of the engine's crankshaft, and one single thermodynamic cycle.                                                                                        ...

CRDI - Common Rail Direct Injection

CRDI is an intelligent way of controlling a diesel engine with use of modern computer systems. CRDI helps to improve the power, performance and reduce harmful emissions from a diesel engine. Conventional Diesel Engines (non-CRDI engines) are sluggish, noisy and  poor in performance compared to a CRDI engine. CRDI or common rail direct injection system is also sometimes referred to by many similar or different names. Some brands use name CRDe...

MPFI – Multi-point Fuel Injection

The term MPFI is used to specify a technology used in Gasoline/petrol Engines. For Diesel Engines, there is a similar technology called CRDI. We will discuss CRDI in a separate article to avoid confusion. MPFI System is a system which uses a small computer (yes, a small computer without keyboard or mouse, its more like a microchip) to control the Car’s Engine. A Petrol car’s engine usually has three or more cylinders or fuel burning zones. So in...
