Today’s discuss is about carbon fiber

Carbon fiber dates back to 1879 when Thomas Edison baked cotton threads or bamboo silvers at high temperatures, which carbonized them into an all-carbon fiber filament. By 1958, high-performance carbon fibers were invented just outside of Cleveland, OH. Although they were inefficient, these fibers contained around 20% carbon and had low strength and stiffness properties.

Carbon Fiber is a polymer and is sometimes known as graphite fiber. It is a very strong material that is also very lightweight. Carbon fiber is five-times stronger than steel and twice as stiff. Though carbon fiber is stronger and stiffer than steel, it is lighter than steel; making it the ideal manufacturing material for many parts. These are just a few reasons why carbon fiber is favored by engineers and designers for manufacturing.

Carbon fiber is made of thin, strong crystalline filaments of carbon that is used to strengthen material. Carbon fiber can be thinner than a strand of human hair and gets its strength when twisted together like yarn. Then it can be woven together to form cloth and if needed to take a permanent shape, carbon fiber can be laid over a mold and coated in resin or plastic.

Valvetronic Exhaust system

Many people are not familiar with what a Valvetronic exhaust is or does. The idea of at the push of a button you can switch between quiet and race mode is a feature which Agency Power has on many exhaust systems. Where other exhausts are always loud, the Agency Power valved systems allow you to switch to a quiet mode. This quiet mode is usually the same as a stock unit by restricting the exhaust flow. With the exhaust valves open, the system roars giving you the performance and sound you desire.

COILOVERS

The term “coilover” comes from the term “coil over spring” and is a type of suspension that allows you to adjust different aspects of your car’s ride height, camber, damping etc. Coilovers are used to lower your car’s center of gravity for reduced weight transfer when going into turns as well as to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle to give it a more aggressive look.

When you go over a bump, the coil spring absorbs the energy of the bump like the rubber soles of your shoes would when you step on a lego. Now, imagine if you didn’t have that shoe on and you’ve now suffered one of life’s greatest pains!

The spring starts to bounce after absorbing a bump. Once the spring is in motion, it is the damper’s function to stop it from moving so that you don’t bounce off of the road. It stops the spring from bouncing with use of rebound force and compression force. As the spring bounces, the shock resists the motion of the spring in both directions of the oscillation. It is the action of these two key parts, the coil spring and the damper, that give you a smooth ride over the harshest of pot hole laden roads.

Ever heard of the term “my car makes 469 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque” in today’s short discuss auto sense Zambia will help you understand this statement so let’s dive in .........

The term 'horsepower' tends to be thrown around an awful lot during car conversation and if you're looking into buying a new car it's likely that you'll come across it, but it can be a source of confusion - what does it actually mean? Well, there are numerous ways to refer to the power output of a car's engine or motor, so it's sometimes less clear than it ought to be. For that reason, we've unravelled the mystery of horsepower and laid it bare right here.

Horsepower (hp) is the metric used to indicate the power produced by a car's engine - the higher the number, the more power is sent to the wheels and, in theory, the faster it will go.

However, in reality, there are other elements such as the weight of the car that will also affect a car's outright speed. A heavier car will need more horsepower to get moving - if two cars both produce 200hp, but one weighs 500kg more, the lighter car will accelerate quicker.

The power output of a car's engine can be measured in several ways. Horsepower measures the amount of power produced by the engine, but then you also have brake horsepower (bhp) which only measures the power that reaches the wheels - this will always be less and as such these two are not interchangeable.

Horsepower vs torque

Car manufacturers often quote hp for the headline figures, but scratch a little deeper into a car’s performance and soon you will come across torque. Don’t panic, this is not yet another unit of power. Usually measured in Nm (newton metre) or lb/ft (pound-foot), torque is a unit of how much turning force a car can produce.

This can be measured at the engine or the wheels (although there is no helpful adage of ‘brake’ at the beginning to differentiate the two). Torque is responsible for how quickly your car accelerates, the more torque, the easier it is to get your wheels turning.

It’s natural to wonder what is the difference between Lexus and Toyota. After all, both brands come from the same source, Toyota Motor Company. Instead of breaking the mold, so to speak, with different parts, the automaker shares quite a few of them between different models. This means there’s some crossover between Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

Image and Craftsmanship
One obvious difference between the two brands is how people will view and treat you. Pulling up somewhere in a Toyota isn’t really all that impressive, while being behind the wheel of a Lexus can be. Lexus vs Toyota quality might be behind some of that perception. All it takes is to climb inside a Lexus and you can tell right away that the level of craftsmanship is at least a little higher than in a comparable Toyota.
Mechanical differences

An even bigger deal is the mechanical differences, especially when it comes to engines. The funny thing is there’s little difference, if any at all, in Lexus vs Toyota reliability. Both brands are safe bets if you want to own something that will last a long time without needing repairs constantly. This fact alone is one of the big draws to either option. The reliability for both brands is partly because certain engines are used in Toyota and Lexus models. The Toyota Avalon and Lexus ES are powered by the same 3.5-liter V-6 engine, which is also used in the Highlander, Camry and Lexus RX. The 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain is the exact same as well.

Mechanically speaking, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus GX are exactly the same, just like certain other Lexus and Toyota vehicles.

There are some engines that don’t cross over from one brand to the other – mainly in sporty Lexus vehicles. Most of these engines are too performance-oriented to really fit with the Toyota brand image, which is often favored by people who want a tamer experience in their vehicle. They also would inflate the price of different Toyotas too much, pushing well beyond the budget-friendly nature of the brand.

Daily blog 1
today we shall talk about a VVTI engine , firstly the acronym VVTI stands for variable Timing intelligence, this type of engine increase performance and fuel economy, The Toyota VVT-i system replaces the Toyota VVT offered starting in 1991 on the 5-valve per cylinder 4A-GE engine. The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system. VVT-i, introduced on the 1JZ-GTE/2JZ-GTE engine in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. Adjustments in the overlap time between the exhaust valve closing and intake valve opening result in improved engine efficiency.[1] Variants of the system, including VVTL-i, Dual VVT-i, VVT-iE, VVT-iW and Valvematic.
Good day.
