Can just an exhaust swap increase the horsepower of the engine?
The exhaust system alone cannot increase the horsepower of an engine. The horsepower of an engine is determined by the amount of power the engine produces. The exhaust system plays a role in allowing the engine to breathe better and in turn, can improve the engine's performance by increasing horsepower and torque.However, increasing horsepower and torque of an engine is more complex than just working on exhaust system. The engine components and the engine management system all have to work together in order to produce more power.An exhaust system can help release restriction and back-pressure caused by the exhausted gases,...
HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE OPEN LOOP EFI OR CLOSED LOOP EFI IN YOUR BIKE?
Carburettors with options to adjust air / fuel mixture are now a thing from past. Electronic Fuel Injection or the EFI is the norm now on modern engines as the world moves towards stringent emission norms to fight global warming. EFI’s is basically a device with a computer program doing the air fuel mixture and pumping into the engine cylinder at an exact volume to make sure optimum power is created. This ensures less wastage of fuel and optimum combustion. However, there are two types of EFI’s that we see on motorcycles, one the “Closed Loop” and the other...
