Why do some engines have more horsepower?
Generally speaking, it is easier to make more power with more cylinders. If one has two engines of similar displacement, the engine with more cylinders will generally produce more power.
What makes a car engine more powerful?
Turbochargers generate power by using leftover exhaust gases to spin a turbine wheel, which forces more air into the engine. With more air, the engine can burn extra fuel to produce more power. A supercharger works similarly to a turbocharger in that it forces more air into the engine.
How do cars with 2 engines work?
Mostly reserved for publicity stunts or extreme concepts, twin-engined cars normally share a throttle and clutch system to synchronise gear changes and the inlet of fuel and air. This is implemented to keep the car running sweetly, as well as making sure it doesn’t try to rip itself apart from each axle.
Why do some engines have more torque?
The amount of torque produced is directly proportional to the air flowing through the engine. Large engines pump more air and, therefore, produce more torque.
How can I make my engine powerful?
10 easy ways to increase engine performance
- Synthetic lubricants. Because synthetic lubricants, such as Mobil 1™ synthetic motor oils, reduce friction, they help engines live longer.
- Ignition.
- Larger throttle body and injectors.
- Compression.
- Found-bonus power.
- Velocity stack.
- Fuel line right-sizing.
- Dual-plane manifold.
HOW COME same engine have different BHP?
Air density is proportional to intake pressure – that’s why either a turbo or asupercharger increase power. Thus, engines with the same cubic capacity but with different top speeds (redlines), volumetric efficiencies, and induction systems (natural aspirated, supercharged, or turbo boosted) will have different BHP.
Can a vehicle have two engines?
Sometimes two engines are better than one. Twin combustion engined cars are one of the real oddballs of the motoring world. It makes no sense as a drivetrain for a production car just on the basis of mechanical complexity alone, but there have been specific applications suited to the twin-engine approach.
Can you have 2 engines in a car?
It is possible to put two engines to driving a single shaft or transmission, by using belts or pulleys, or chains and sprockets, or gears, but this is not generally a practical solution and is seldom ever done.
