Popular Engine Upgrades to Consider
1. Exhaust Headers
Getting air in and out of your cylinders is one of the most important things you can upgrade to optimize your engine performance. When you upgrade your exhaust headers, you are increasing the airflow to your engine and the exhaust gas out of your engine. There are two different types of exhaust header upgrades to consider, long tube headers and short tube headers.
Long tube headers are more expensive because they are more expensive to install, but they improve engine performance in the low to mid-range RPMs and also can increase your gas mileage.
Short tube headers are cheaper and easier to install, but do not have the same intake capabilities as long tube headers; however, these fit better in modern engines so they are often the more convenient option.
2. Induction System
In newer model cars, the induction system is usually very complex and efficient so there is little that you can upgrade and see much of a result. On the other hand, older cars do very well after the installation of a four-barrel intake manifold. This raises your engine’s horsepower and is a relatively inexpensive upgrade.
3. Spark Plugs
An extremely important, yet very small, part of your engine is your spark plugs. These create a small spark to ignite the air and gas mixture in your engine to create power. If your spark plugs go out, then your engine will not start and it can cause more damage. To avoid this, you can install extended-life spark plugs, which run for about 100,000 miles. When you buy new spark plugs, the ones that use precious metals such as iridium and platinum are more expensive, but hold up to wear and tear better than typical copper ones.
4. Valvetrain
The camshaft is the most important part of your valvetrain, it opens and closes your intake and exhaust valves to make sure your engine runs smoothly. Upgrading this will open the door for even more modifications and also allows more air and fuel to enter your engine’s combustion chamber which greatly improves your engine power.
