Maintaining Your High Performance Electrical System

Filed under Electric Cars

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.

Get Higher Gas Mileage by Maintaining Your Car ( Part 2 of 2 )

Now every 3,000-Miles or Three Months which ever comes first take your car in to get it serviced:  Go ahead and change your engine oil and have them do a complete check of all of your fluids plus your tire pressure to make sure that the other fluids are good and that the tire pressure is set prefect also just in case you have a nail or a problem then they will find it out at the mechanic shop, or if you work on your car yourself to make sure to do a complete check list on it.

Now oil and transmission Fluid are one of the main things for the car and the most expensive parts to be changed.  So it is a good idea to make sure you keep your car maintained so that you will not have any problems in the future and to prevent expensive repairs when your car reaches a higher mileage.

Every Six Months: I would defiantly check my windshield wipers, since it is rubber the sun and smog will ware the rubber and it will not work properly.  Or if you decide not to change it during the summer time defiantly change it when winter comes around because it will rain a lot and you don’t want to get stuck somewhere also you want to be safe and not get in an accident for something that will not cost you a lot.  I do recommend that you change the wiper with the original ones from the dealer because they work the best, they last the longest, and they won’t make any noise or fall apart after so many months.  The reason I say not to get aftermarket is because they will change the original wiper and put aftermarket on and then you will use it and later find out that it is not working that good.

You can also find really good articles and info on 104Inc or you can also go to 104Automotive.com or 10mechanic.com and more at 104Inc.com you can find anything you need in your daily life.

Now overall there are 3 factory services that should be done at certain mileage.

First one is a Minor Service done every 7,500 miles:  This service is basically an oil change, rotate tires, ck all fluids, and ck the tire pressure.  Usually the dealers or certain mechanic shops will also steam clean the engine so that it stays clean.

Second is an Intermediate Service done every 15,000 miles:  this service has everything that the Minor Service has plus on certain models you would change the transmission fluid + Valve Cover Gaskets.

Third is a Major Service done every 30,000 miles.  This has everything that the Intermediate Service has plus depending on the make and model of your car things will be different.  But in general you would change the Distributor Cap & Rotor + Spark Plugs + Air Filter + Fuel Filter + Coolant Flush + Brake Fluid Flush.

Now basically this is a good overall procedure of what you would have to do to keep your car in tip top shape so that it runs at its best performance and you get the best gas mileage on the car.  But the main thing is that the car will be reliable and won’t leave you stranded in the middle of no where.

Get Higher Gas Mileage by Maintaining Your Car ( Part 1 of 2 )

Taking care of your vehicle will make the car last the longest and it will give you the most mileages out of it.  Some of the benefits are that you will have fewer repairs, your car will run smooth and won’t leave you stranded some where, will help on your gas mileage and more.  Now you don’t need to be a car mechanic to know about your car.  In this article I will provide you with steps on how to take care of your vehicle, and help you learn a little more.

The first thing I recommend to people is to have a repair manual for your vehicle.  This will help you learn and understand a little more info about your car and what it will need.  Remember getting to know your vehicle will help you out in the future plus when you take in to a mechanic shop you will know a little more about what the guy is talking about and this way you will know that you are not getting screwed.  You can basically buy the manual at any dealer or even an auto parts store.

Here are some procedures for maintaining your car.

You can also find really good articles and info on 104Inc or you can also go to 104Automotive.com or 104Mechanic.com and more at 104Inc.com you can find anything you need in your daily life.

Weekly:  Check all of your fluids and make sure you service your car all the time. This includes your radiator fluid only when it is cold so you don’t’ burn your self, transmission fluid, brake fluid, engine oil, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid.  Now most of these fluids are very important for the car to run properly except the windshield washer fluid is more of safety because it can clean your windshield if it is dirty or something covers it.  Now in any of your fluids you notice that it smells or it is dirty then it is time for you to change it.

Bi Weekly: Check your tire pressure. You will need a tire pressure gauge, which you can find at almost all auto part stores or gas stations and they are not that expensive.  Each tire valve will have a cap on it to protect it from rocks and dirt.  You will have to unscrew the cap counter clock wise till it is off.  Then stick the gage on the valve which will then tell you what Pressure your tires are.  Now you have to check your manual, or the driver front door would have a sticker or actually another easier way would be to check your tire and it will have the info on it on what the pressure should be set to.  Now remember when your tire is cold you will have an accurate reading, because once it gets warm the air in the tire will expand and won’t give you an accurate readings.  Now if the tire pressure is low then you can basically go to any gas station or repair shop.

Tire Pressure Tip – When you have the pressure set properly on your tires then you will save some money on gas and by that you will be getting more mileage out of a full tank, also your tire won’t pull to one side if one of them has less or even more air in it.

Is it possible to achive high fuel efficiency by maintaining optimum speed?

March 27, 2010 by  
Filed under Fuel Economy

The idea is to record a particular vehicle speed and fuel consumption over a long period by the vehicle itself. Now if the topology of the roads(ups and downs) that the vehicle frequents is known then the vehicle speed can be modulated by past experience to maximize fuel efficiency by prompting to limit speed before a down and prompting to accelerate before an upward ramp on the road.

The idea is to minimize engine braking power used so that fuel will be used for locomotion and not for limiting speed.

What is the optimum highway speed to maximize fuel economy while maintaining a descent velocity?

I drive a 2000 Nissan Frontier with a V-6 engine that has the following characteristics in fifth gear with cruise control on the highway: @70 mph= 3000 rpm, @65 mph=2750 rpm, @60 mph= 2500 rpm, @45 mph= 2000 rpm. At what highway speed would fuel economy be maximized while still maintaining a descent speed. The highway I drive on has a speed limit of 70 mph.
