Maintaining Your High Performance Electrical System

On any automobile, the condition of the electrical system goes a long way towards keeping your performance at the most advantageous level. This system is called upon to do a lot when it comes to keeping your ride running. In an older motor vehicle, the electrical system has to keep energy flowing to the ignition and spark plugs, as well as run all of the cars accessories. In a modern car, extra strain is added by the fact that the cars computer needs a stable stream of power, not to mention the demands of a massive amount of sensors.

When racing, the cars engine is under maximum load for a fairly considerable length of time. This means that if the electrical system is not in the very best shape, you could be looking at power loss, hesitation, and strange behavior at the worst possible time. No one wants to pull out to pass someone only to have a cylinder misfire, or experience the agony of the ignition shutting off halfway down a quarter-mile run. How can you avoid these types of problems dudes?

The first thing to do is make sure your alternator is up to the job of generating the power you require while racing. The alternator runs off a belt from the engine and it is intended to put out enough power to not only charge the battery but also keep the motor running. If you have added on a more powerful ignition, or a new stand-alone engine management system, then your stock alternator might not be able to keep up with the electrical demands your car is making. Upgrading to a larger alternator will give your car more amps to divide amongst the various electrical components that are needed while running at full throttle.

The next item you should check? Your connection points. Increased electrical demands means more heat being created at each junction where wires connect to each other, to the battery, or to the chassis. Over time this heat can damage connections or burn them out, leaving them blackened or scored. This heat degrades the ability of a connection to properly transmit the power your engine needs. Not only that, but solenoids can also be burned out completely by this extreme electrical heat. If you notice that certain connections are consistently being affected, then you can try to upgrade them to a gauge of wire with a greater capacity. You might also want to consider evaluating your wiring as a whole to see why certain points are falling victim to more heat than others.

A further way to reduce the strain on your electrical system while racing is to remove accessories that you don’t really need. Stereo system, air conditioner, power windows and door locks? These extras are not going to help you make horsepower out on the track, and their use while racing is just going to put stress on your alternator. Ripping them out or shutting them down while you are racing will help keep the electrical system cool and probably pick you up a few seconds over the course of the race.

Senator Craig on high gas prices

We are all frustrated with the once-again rising gas prices. Many in Congress grandstand with promises emptier than our wallets after filling up. You won’t hear that from me. I am offering real solutions that represent a comprehensive, compromise approach. Gas prices won’t normalize with government intervention into the markets, and no matter what we do, gas prices won’t adjust overnight. There is also no single solution. That is why we need to tackle the problem from multiple angles. I introduced the Security and Energy Efficiency Energy Act with Senator Byron Dorgan, a democrat from North Dakota. Our legislation is moving through Congress and does four things: 1) achievable, stepped increases in fuel efficiency of the transportation fleet; 2) increased availability of alternative fuel sources and infrastructure; 3) expanded production and enhanced exploration of domestic and other secure oil and natural gas resources; and 4) improved management of alliances to better secure global energy supplies.

BYD F3DM high price reflects the hard charging electric vehicles predicament 1

As the related technology is not yet mature, and parts production for the time being can not form a scale, so the high price of electric vehicles. BYD F3DM version as much as 169,800 yuan low carbon price, has more than double the normal price of more than F3 cars.

    After several delays, finally listed BYD F3DM low-carbon version and for individual sale. BYD official explained that the reason for the delay was due to wait for the State’s policy on the introduction of new energy subsidies, and denied earlier media reports that BYD to give up mass-produced electric car talk.

    Delay new energy subsidies to the electric car market sales prospects increased uncertainty in the battery technology, social facilities, policies are not in place to support the case, the electric car is still a long road to popularity.

    An unnamed automotive analyst said in an interview, BYD F3DM for personal sales, to some extent reflects the development of electric cars, BYD’s determination, but the current environment, BYD This was more “play the concept of” main purpose is to rely on “image projects” to bring the traditional car sales.

    Target sales of 1,000 vehicles this year, only

    Two weeks ago, postponed several times in the time to market, after market sales for personal BYD F3DM low carbon version finally appeared.

    F3DM the use of electric and conventional dual-mode drive technology, energy, equipped with 1.0L engines, the official price of 169 800, will take to promote sales of certified sales of the model. Subject to capacity constraints and domestic BYD most other cities in the lack of charging stations and other facilities, F3DM currently only sold in Shenzhen, the future will be at the right time across the country.

    Recently, this reporter made a Shenzhen BYD brand dealership learned, F3DM low carbon version of the vehicle has to store and accept reservations, but so far only sold 12. 4S stores in Beijing BYD no F3DM like cars, when there is no clear timetable for the sale.

    BYD official declared, F3DM electric vehicles for personal sales are popular ice-breaking move, but analysts point out that subject to cost, the price of electric vehicles currently still unrealistically high, and the country not yet on the new energy subsidies introduced, F3DM sales outlook.

    BYD itself, even for low-carbon version F3DM sales model is not optimistic about this year, the company expects sales this year F3DM low-carbon version only 1000 or so.

    BYD Auto Sales Company vice president Wang Jianjun, acknowledges that this is the market capacity to set goals.

    He said that society is willing to pay people to buy environmentally friendly cars in the end how many still unknown, and new energy vehicles currently covered by individual subsidies only 5 cities, considering the subsidy in place of the time, the use of the environment and issues such as convenience, 1000 sales goal is rational.

    BYD is the concept of the play?

    ”Zaochu an electric car is not difficult, the difficulty is Zaochu low cost, security, environmental protection and into the bulk of the electric car, the relevant technical bottlenecks, high cost and mass production facilities are an obstacle to electric cars.” BYD insiders frankly, the domestic large-scale development of new energy vehicles time not to, but F3DM low-carbon version of the introduction of that BYD will never give up mass production of electric vehicles.

    This reporter learned that the German auto company Daimler Motor Company has signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop the Chinese market areas and sales of electric vehicles. In addition, the BYD Auto Company and Volkswagen AG of Germany signed the cooperation agreement for electric cars is also advancing. Under the agreement, the two companies will hybrid vehicles and lithium batteries in electric vehicle research and development to cooperate.
