The document discusses various types of car engines and components from 1950 to present. It begins by describing different engine types such as V6, V8, diesel and their uses. It then discusses developments in car models from 1900 to 1949 including modifications to engines and improvements in speed and emissions. The document also summarizes key components of cars like transmissions, suspensions, steering, oil, tires, fuel systems and how they work. Finally, it briefly touches on other topics like weight reduction, engine control units, air intake systems, braking systems, superchargers, turbos, exhaust and ignition systems.

1. 1950s-present EnginesThere are many types of said enginesThe types are as followsV6 engineV8 engine Diesel engines Certain “CID” or Cubic Inches Displacement engine Ex: 396 cid V8Fuel CellEx: Hydrogen Engines Hybrid engines Electric engines Each one is used for different situations Some engines made for certain cars can help a certain car to do better performance “If Fiat was still building vehicles with eighteen different engines, in 1912 almost half of the vehicles produced were one of type “Zero”.” (Francesca Fauri3) http://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-engine-types-channel.htm

2. 1900-1949 Car modelsSince 110 years cars have been undergoing not only an evolution of mechanics, the outlook of them as wellIn this slide we see an antique of a car made exactly 70 years ago yet still looks newThough it is new you do not see a lot of them The engine itself was still going under many modificationsThe start up was slowProduce some harmful exhaust Top speed was 95mph Need to be replaced if broken http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/history/history_40s.shtml

3. TransmissionThere are two ways transmission is referred to:America: Transmission Europe: Gear box It is located behind the flywheel and clutch of the car While being almost idle, it can go to 900 rpm (Revolutions per minute), but can go to 7500rpm if up to speed. The transmission has a special gear to work The most basic type is the spur gear which has straight cut teeth and its parallel to the axis of the gears http://www.carbibles.com/transmission_bible.html

4. SuspensionSuspension is something your car would be in need of because it keeps your car from shaking to pieces. If one were to go down a rough road without it your car will break one way or another What the suspension is can only be two things: Coil Springs Shock absorbers http://www.carbibles.com/suspension_bible.html

5. Steering Steering is a lot more complicated then one thinks At first its simple Turn the steering wheel The front tires move toward that side Whole car turns to that direction It goes beyond these three steps Now the steering wheel has four parts Steering wheel connects to steering system Which connects to the tracking rods They connect to the tie rods Finally they connect to the steering arms http://www.carbibles.com/steering_bible.html

6. Engine OilOil is another important thing about a car.The oil is the equivalent to blood in the bodyIt goes into the “heart” of the car known as the engine The purpose of oil is to stop the metal surfaces from ever grinding and breaking each other apart from friction It also can clean the engine of chemicals and build ups http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html

7. TiresThere is some information about tires that most did not know. For example:Certain tires can heat upSome tires heat up according to the rate of temperature the have The ratings are: A, B, and C, A being highest C being lowest http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html

8. The Fuel and the EngineThe fuel is what the engine needs to start running as most know The procedure for this is called the “Internal Combustion”This process is quite long:First takes the fuel and air and compresses both of themThen both ignite using a Spark Plug or Self-Ignition Next allow the explosion of combusting gasses to force the piston back Last expel the exhaust gas http://www.carbibles.com/fuel_engine_bible.html

9. Weight Reduction Weight Reduction is not required in a car. It is only used in motorsport competitions and those few who love to customized their cars There are only three things this add-on effects:Makes the car lighter in weight Increases acceleration and HP (Horse power)It also helps braking since it makes it easy to stop the car when it is lighter http://www.hondaclub.com/forum/articles/287-weight-reduction-overview-few-ideas.html

10. Engine Control Unit (ECU)Back then the ECU was not really a big thing Now a days if you like customize your car the ECU would do wonders for you The ECU is a computer that controls the air/fuel mixture so the catalytic converter could removed a lot of the pollution from the exhaust It also has the closed-loop control, which monitors outputs of a system to control the inputs to a system http://auto.howstuffworks.com/under-the-hood/trends-innovations/car-computer1.htm

11. Air intake systemAnother add-on used to make your car look cool and ran smooth This system is used to make the car breath faster while runningThis makes the car run faster and make the gas mileage greater then it was There are three different types of Air Intake Open Element car Air Intake system Sealed car air intake system Ram car air intake system http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/airinsys2.html

12. Braking System Braking system is one of the more easier to understand kind of performance parts Its purpose is simple:Its used to slow the car wheel movement through friction. There are to types of systems which are important Cars with an ABS system Cars without an ABS system http://www.2carpros.com/how_does_it_work/brake_system.htm

13. Super ChargersSuper chargers are one of three types of ways to really boost the HP of your car A Supercharger is like a turbo, but with out the turbo lag When you first install it, it can increase your cars HP by at least 200-250HP http://www.howstuffworks.com/supercharger.htm

14. Turbo A turbo system could become complicated if not well done, and this is how one looks like http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/turbo_tech101.html?#t101_1

15. Exhaust systems There are three main functions for an exhaust system:It takes the poisonous gas of the exhaust from the engine to the rear part of the carIt quiets the engine sound while it is running Then it changes unspent fuel to spent fuel with the help of the catalytic converter The exhaust system contains many components:Exhaust manifold Exhaust pipeCatalytic converter Muffler Tail pipe http://www.2carpros.com/how_does_it_work/exhaust_system.htm

16. NA engines NA Engines or Naturally Aspirated Engines is not considered to be a turbo or a supercharger The NA engine is not really famous because it it generally cannot offer suitable Weight: Power ratio http://en.allexperts.com/e/n/na/naturally-aspirated_engine.htm

17. Ignition SystemThe reason for this part is to create a spark that will create a spark that will ignite the fuel-air mixture in a cylinder Timing is an important factor and if timed wrong then the engine will run poorly or not at all. The ignition system has a high voltage spark plug that contains 20,000 volts to 50,000 volts. http://www.familycar.com/CLASSROOM/ignition.htm

18. Car Models (1950-Present)The 1950s was the time of the dream car era which made way for unexpected, unnatural, and unimaginable cars Examples are: 1962 Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild Model1967 Lamborghini Marzal1967 Chrysler 300X Further on cars became more of a way to impress people by how it looks, and how fast it can run.

19. Car Models (1950-Present) Cont.Ever since the 1980s people were able to find creative ways to have fun with cars Now they aim to have the most beautiful and fast cars Some include Porsche Carrera GTLamborghini Murcielago LP640PaganiZonda FJaguar XJ220 Ferrari Enzo McLaren F1 Koenigsegg CCXSaleen S7 Twin Turbo BugattiVeyron SSC Ultimate Aero

21. Car Body Kits Body kits are sort of an add-on to a car which is not required for it to runIts only purpose is to stylize the car in your own imageBody kits include from car dealers of:Acura Audi BMWFord Honda Mazda Nissan Subaru Toyota http://www.bodykits.com/

22. FR Layout FR car is a another way to say Front engine, Rear wheel drive.The lay out is as follows:The engine is put in the front part of the car as in most carsThe way the car accelerates, the power and work is put in the rear set of wheels while the front end is used for turning the car only http://www.rearwheeldrive.org/rwd/rwdbenefits.htm

23. FF Cars FF cars also known as the “Front engine, Front wheel drive” cars are not very common They are not that popular as the FR or the 4WD cars, but they are still around Their layout is as follows:The engine is once again in the front part of the car The power however, is in the front two tires instead of the rear this time.http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1696147/advantages_and_disadvantages_of_frontwheel.html

24. 4WD Cars 4WD drive cars (or literteraly 4 Wheel Drive) or very popular in the Japanese import tuner Many like this type of car because of how fast this car can go and its limitless ways of modifications it can use There are two ways to describe this type of car:One is the regular 4WD which is not so good in going fast in a high speed corner and cannot drive in the snow or off-road The “AWD” (All Wheel Drive) is a full time 4WD and are made for all surfaces including pavement, snow, and the off-road http://auto.howstuffworks.com/four-wheel-drive.htm

25.

28. Illegal Side of CarsThough the years have pasted and gone, it has also taken effect on cars and for the worst. Started since 1932 people begin to race and have these races have been so dangerous that its bannedEven so people still street race for the fun, thrill, being the best, and any other trivial matter http://www.mdwholesale.com/Illegal_street_racing.htmlVS.

29. Rally eventsCars have become such a big part in everyday life that now they have come up with “Rally events”Rally events can take place anywhere around the world and any who finely tuned their cars may participate They take place on dirt roads and use cars only suited for the rough terrain http://www.rally-america.com/news/80/

30. In CultureCars have also become so famous that they appear just about everywhereThey appear on the streets, motorsport events, and now where they are well-known video games as wellSome titles include:NFS FranchiseGran Turismo series Juiced series Forza Motorsport Driver Series Grand Theft Auto series Initial D Wangan Midnight shift.needforspeed.com/www.gran-turismo.com/
