Kn Mustang Intake Design

KN has been a leader in the filter industry since they were founded over 36 years ago and starting back in 1992 they decided to test the waters of the Mustang Intakes world. At KN they feel that the best bang for your buck or dollar to horsepower investment can be found in their intake systems. Built for horsepower they boast that if they can’t boost a cars horsepower they do not make an intake for it. With a promise like that you know that your Mustangs Performance will be increased. They increase the horsepower starting with their million mile warranted filter system and high flow technology. The KN Mustang Intake is also legal in all 50 states so it doesn’t matter where you live you can improve your Mustang Performance. KN Mustang Intakes have some very impressive numbers. For example the 2003 Ford Mustang SVT boasts of an impressive 30 HP. Many times the exact same vehicle will perform differently than another. When KN uses a number for HP it is an average of runs and not the biggest gain they have obtained. When buying and researching if it says you will get 10 HP that is the bare minimum you may actually get more out of you KN Mustang Intake. The size of your air box is one of the main reasons that KN Mustang Intakes are so consistent with their increase in HP. Believe it or not they completely remove the air box meaning there really aren’t any restrictions on how much air is moved to your engine other than physics. They use a large conical open element air filter which provides more surface or intake space to maximize airflow. And we all know that maximized air flow translated into more HP. This oversized air filter catches more dirt so you don’t have clean the filter as often. And you will never have to replace the filter because of their 1000000 warranty. The next area of improvement is in the design of the air path or High Density Polyethylene tubes which are black and for those of you wanting a silver colored tube they do have aluminum. If you are looking for more power then go with the black Polyethylene but if you are all about the looks definitely go with the Aluminum. Either way you will have high gains from any of the KN Mustang intakes.

New Technoloy In SUVs And Vans Will Save More Lives

Sport utility vehicles SUVs and vans may be large and may look powerful. However some studies have shown that these vehicles that show off and boast of their muscles and great stance are much more likely to rollover than smaller cars. In fact in the United Kingdom there have been more than 900 people killed each year along with 12000 pedestrians and cyclists. The number of those who are injured count to much more.

Now there has been a new innovation for these mentioned vehicles that would surely save more lives and reduce the number of people and passengers injured. This new technology comes in the form of plastic fronts that are energy absorbing. Concept Mouldings a leading automotive parts supplier which is based in the United Kingdom has been the brains behind such an innovation.

One of Europe’s leading vehicle design development and certification centers MIRA tested the creation done by Concept Mouldings. And according to the results the new energy absorbing plastic fronts really did reduce the risk of head injuries by over 99 per cent during worst case scenarios. This is very important for head injuries are often inflicted on those who crash or bump their heads in the fronts of the vehicles. In fact children are the main recipients of such serious injuries which could also lead to their deaths. As per injuries to the abdomen pelvis and the upper leg the energy absorbing plastic fronts also did reduce them greatly.

Ian Finney is the managing director of Concept Mouldings and he further explains that indeed such plastic fronts have been one of the most exciting innovations in their line of work. In fact he also adds “Our products can be fitted as an aftermarket product by owners of vehicles. We can start saving lives and serious injuries now rather than waiting for a long term legislative process.”

Great Hydraulic Pressure Is Just A Step Away With The Volvo Master Cylinder

Every car needs a provider of great hydraulic pressure in order to maintain the efficiency of the hydraulic system. Not every driver or car owner knows what his master cylinder does for him and his car when in fact it should be wellknown. The master cylinder contributes well to the safety of the driver. Even if the primary and secondary cylinders should have a leak the master cylinder acts alone to ensure that enough pressure will still be available when the driver steps on the brakes.Fortunately there is a company that
understands the grave importance that the master cylinder has. Volvo one of the world’s genius in the automotive history has developed the advanced technology that a high quality master cylinder should be made of. Thus the Volvo Master Cylinder is of high quality and great performance.

The Volvo Master Cylinder supplies pressure to both circuits of the car. It is a remarkable device that uses two pistons in the same cylinder in a way that makes the cylinder relatively failsafe. Meanwhile it is the combination valve that warns the driver if there is a problem with the brake system and also does a few more things to make your car safer to drive. The Volvo Master Cylinder has a brakefluid source which is called the brakefluid reservoir. It also has an electrical connection which is a sensor that triggers a warning light when the brake fluid gets low.

When a driver presses down the brake pedal it pushes on a primary piston through a linkage. Pressure builds in the cylinder and lines as the brake pedal is depressed further. The pressure between the primary and secondary piston forces the secondary piston to compress the fluid in its circuit. If the brakes are operating properly the pressure will be the same in both circuits. That is how the Volvo Master Cylinder operates.

Since it is exposed to such an arduous task it is also vulnerable to wearing out. Although this will happen after a very long time with the Volvo Master Cylinder one should always ensure that it is replaced or taken care of by a professional. And one must do away with the old unreliable ones and trust the name of Volvo. Because with 80 years of service Volvo knows what is best.
