The heads primary job is the mixing of fuel and air and delivering this to the combustion chamber.
Any turbulence or drag can restrict the air flow into the engine starving you of power. So this TorqueCars article will focus on the intake valves and how they can be improved.
The aim of head tuning is both to maximise the amount of air and fuel that gets into the engine, and to improve the mixture. Read More...

"Remote turbo – local power"
There is a growing trend in the car tuning community of adding a remote turbo to a car.
We take a look at this modification and look at the pros and cons of remote turbos.
A conventional turbo is fitted pretty much on the engine in line with the exhaust header manifold.
A remote turbo is fitted much further down the exhaust than a convention turbo which is typically located in the engine bay.… Read More...

As induction kits are probably one of the most popular modifications for car tuning projects we thought we should add a introductory article to explain what they are, what they do and the theory behind them.
An induction kit is quite simply an air filter. Most cars have air filters mounted in an air box. These filters are generally constructed of paper which filters out the particles from the air and prevents these from getting into the engine. The airboxes are designed to reduce the noise of the engine and have various vanes and angles cut to maximise this noise reduction. Read More...
