Introduction.
The primary desire of any auto enthusiast is the need for speed. However, most of the cars that leave the assembly line are not quite as fast as they ought to be. Numerous drivers love to fiddle around with the engines of their vehicles in an attempt to improve the speed and power and make them fuel-efficient and productive. This document serves to outline and explain several instructions on how to improve the speed and power of an ordinary car to make it a racing car like a Toyota Supra GT4, McClaren 720S GT3, Hyundai Veloster N CTR, and others.
Purpose of the Instructions.
The instructions for improving the speed and power of a car are essential because if followed and used correctly, they could enable a car lover to drive a faster car and a racer to win a competition. These procedures also include basic repairmen modules that a regular car owner could use to maintain the health of their engines, drive faster, and accomplish their commitments in time. Thirdly, the instructions are necessary for determining the speed of a car, its efficiency, performance, programming, weight, and various electronic components.
The audience of the Instructions.
There are two environments that the procedures could be used. Firstly, they could be used by vehicle manufacturing and assembling companies to either build cars already pre-installed with high power and speed modifications or make repairs on vehicles whose owners would like them fixed. Secondly, the instructions could be used by domestic car builders at home. However, the biggest problem facing people trying to learn and use these methods is that the equipment needed is significantly expensive, and the whole process is time-consuming. This is because, with the ever-changing make and model and upgrades on vehicles, the improvements should be ultimately compatible with the car. Achieving this would imply that the parts ought to be specific, and that comprises ordering them from the manufacturer. I would recommend that before an individual purchase a vehicle from a preferred builder, an individual should clearly state the purpose of the vehicle so that if they need an extra degree of speed and power, the modifications could be done and completed at the company before delivery.
Definition of terms.
* A/C Compressor.
This is an engine-driven pump located in the air conditioning system of a car and one that increases the pressure of the refrigerant.
* Air Conditioner Refrigerant.
This is a liquid used in air conditioning systems. It has the feature of boiling at ambient air temperatures.
* Axle Ratio.
This refers to the number of revolutions that a car makes for each revolution.
* Cold Air Intake (CAI).
This is an air pathway located near the engine designed to allow more cool air into the engine to improve its performance.
* Exhaust Pressure Regulator Valve.
This is a device that vaporizes the fuel of a car by reducing warm time by directing warm exhaust into the vehicle intake.
* Horsepower.
This is a term used to refer to unit of measurement used to examine the power of an engine. It is called horsepower because it was originally used to determine the power of carrier horses.
* Nitrous Oxide.
This is a high-tech device attached to the engine used to create additional oxygen for the engine during combustion.
* Spark Plug.
This is a device attached to the engine which operates by directing electrical current flow through a center electrode, creating a spark across an electrode gap, thus completing the circuit to a ground electrode.
* Supercharger.
This is a device powered by a belt, gear, and shaft. It is connected to the engine and performs the role of forcing air into an internal combustion engine to increase the power of the engine.
* Torque.
Torque is the car’s pulling power. This property is often vital for heavy load vehicles like trucks and others. The feature entails twisting the force created inside an engine by all those rotating car parts. The purpose of this process is to increase the acceleration of the car (Edmunds 1).
Instructions for Improving the Speed and Power of a Car to make it a Racing Car.
Step One: Superchargers.
As mentioned earlier, a supercharger pressurizes air intake to exceed the normal atmospheric levels so as to absorb more air into the engine, thus mixing it with more fuel to produce more power. In this step, one needs to install a supercharger or an A/C compressor in his or her vehicle. Also, using a supercharger attached to the crankshaft and the engine is far better because it will increase the rate of the spins of the engine by 50,000 RPM, which is way faster than the engine itself (Koppelaar & Middlekoop 32). This will force air from the engine into the combustion chamber, hence creating space for more fuel, thus more massive combustion. This procedure, if done correctly, will increase the amount of energy produced by 50%. In most cases, to mechanically attach the supercharger to the hood of the car, one is obliged to cut a hole to accommodate its massive size. This will make the vehicle more powerful as the device looks like a space rocket.
The tools required to install a supercharger on your vehicle in your home garage are a service manual, a standard, and metric socket and ratchet set, screwdrivers, head drivers, standard pliers, and needle-noses, towels and masking tape. Firstly, thoroughly clean the fuel rail and supercharger components. Then, use masking tape to mark all vacuum lines, electrical connections, fuel lines, and throttle linkages to their relationships. After safe removal of all the components, ensure that you cover all the openings of the supercharger leading to the engine to prevent dirt and debris from entering (Carponents 1). Then, by comparing your old unit to the manufacture's model, transfer any external parts that may be on the old unit to the new one. After cleaning all the parts, install the new gaskets and o-rings by aligning them correctly as per the manufacturer's repair model. Lastly, tighten the fastening bolts to 10ft/lbs. in a crisscross pattern and then lubricate all the components with engine oil.

Step 2: Cold Air Intake.
The two most important constituents that an engine needs to perform are fuel and air. Therefore, in this stage, installing or upgrading the air intake of the car will boost the speed of the vehicle and make it a racing car. An air intake is that long pipe with an air filter. In this context, because the temperature of the air dramatically affects the efficiency of a car, using a cold air intake kit will be more critical as it will aid in directing cold air into the burning section of the engine (Semsel 84). A standard car usually adjusts the condition of heat of the air entering the engine of the vehicle by warming the cold engine and ...
