Nitro oxide is translated as nitrogen oxide (or paradise gas), used in healthcare as an anesthetic - but we will be interested in its use in cars.

This article continues the performance enhancement series, and we will briefly focus on the Nitro Oxide System, NOS.

Replacing the stock exhaust pipes with tuned exhaust pipes is one of the basic and widespread engine modifications. But what do you achieve with such a modification, and what is the difference between regular leads and tuned leads?

We will dive into the topic soon, but first, let's say a few words about what the exhaust manifolds are actually used for.

An intake manifold modification is among the most basic and affordable engine modifications any car enthusiast can tackle. Every day, we can come across many people on the internet interested in how to increase engine performance. We, therefore, decided to write an article focused on this topic.

In this article, you will learn in particular about the possibilities of how to increase the performance of a naturally aspirated engine by adjusting the intake manifold. Please keep in mind that this is not a guide, and everything you do is at your own risk.

Power and torque are the basic technical parameters of an internal combustion engine. Not only does the maximum speed and acceleration of the car depend on these parameters, but also fuel consumption or the ability to climb hills and the like.

Engine power can be expressed in kilowatts (kW), but the horsepower (HP or metric horsepower) is usually preferred. The unit of torque, colloquially torque, is either pound-foot (lb-ft) or Newton-metre (Nm).
