Limited Slip Differential (LSD)

2012-01-14T23:28:00.000+08:00

There's pros and cons in eveything such as when it comes to increasing performance, 2 steps forward often come at the cost of 1 step back. Decreasing body roll & lowering ride height can come at the cost of a harsh ride; Increasing power can decrease Fuel economy & increase the Fuel Consumption (FC) or driveline longevity, raise engine temps, impact emissions.

Besides that, changer to a higher-friction brake pads likely means you will have to replace them more often though it will increased traction. By adding a limited slip differential (LSD)-a modification long-embraced by tuners for having little to no apparent drawbacks actually decrease power output (Po) & make you slower.

Will Adding A Limited Slip Differential (LSD) Decrease Power?

It is a proven fact that adding rotational mass to a car's driveline-engine & transmission internals, pulleys, flywheels, wheels, axles, etc.-will decrease power output and slow acceleration; proof of this can be seen in the difference between an engine's power numbers taken at the wheels as opposed to the flywheel. Logic would assume that spinning two wheels with a locked or limited slip differential would require more power than spinning one with an open differential (like most cars are equipped with), but is this what's really happening? The answer may be clear to those knowledgeable in transmission anatomy, but regardless, it remains a common debating point worthy of our ink.

The Automotive Industry in Future

2012-01-08T23:37:00.000+08:00

As the time pass by, the technology has changed dramatically from time to time. Things have started to change to a new revolution as our Mother Nature are in a very critical situation whereby the emission produce by the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and the older cars that produce more Carbon Dioxide as they have a higher (mpg) rate.

As the time goes by, Hybrid vehicle is going mass production worldwide whereby they uses both the engine and Battery to run the vehicle. The battery is charged by the internal motor build in the vehicle. Currently there isn't any plug in Hybrid in Malaysia but there will be in future really soon as the people are more aware on the Hybrid and Electric vehicle in other country such as the Automotive Giant Japan and North America.

Electric Vehicle and Fuel Cell vehicle is the next generation talkabout whereby they produce Zero Emission as EV is fully run by Battery Cell and Fuel Cell is by natural Environment which is the Sun ( Solar aka Photovoltaic Cell ) or Hydrogen.

Do your part by reducing the Carbon Dioxide emission wherever it is possible eg Turned off the vehicle if it's not in use and not leave it on for no reason as it burns up your fuel and pollutes the environment. Everyone can do part in protecting and saving the earth. Start Saving now as it saves your $$ too.

Happy New Year 2012

[P] Automatic Transmission As Learner Car in Future

2011-12-29T22:35:00.000+08:00

Starting from the month of May, 2012. Due to the rise of more and more Automatic Transmission Vehicle on the road, Driving schools will be providing Automatic Transmission Vehicle as the learning car for those who want to take their P License.

Besides that, there are pros and cons for this situation. For those who learn and take tests in automatic cars will be issued an automatic transmission driving licence and will not be allowed to drive manual cars. However, those holding the manual transmission driving licence can drive automatic transmission cars.

Hopefully this implementation of the new driving standards can increase the safety driving elements and produce more disciplined and ethical drivers on the road in future.

SAAB Automobile Declares Bankruptcy

2011-12-21T21:53:00.000+08:00

Saab Automobile, is not sharing any good news with everyone throughout the nation as the company will voluntary declare bankruptcy which happens on Monday, 19th December 2011.

That's not all, the warranty that covers all its vehicle in North America has been suspended and the suspension came into effect with the same day the company declare bankruptcy and it was also approved by swedish court. The GM of the company will try to cover the warranties of the vehicle that sold to the other countries.

Is it a good news or a bad news to all the SAAB Automobile enthusiast. To me, there's not a good thing when a Automotive maker has to shut down or close down its own business as it might affect a lot of people. Hope it is the right move for SAAB on doing such decision.

Electric Vehicle (EV)

2011-10-23T08:46:00.001+08:00

Did you realize that nowadays you have been seeing more and more Electrical & Electronic massively developed into Automotive Industry. Automotive maker have been doing more and more research to produce an EV that can travel further by developing a longer lithium Ion lasting Battery but the electrode that makes a lot of difference which the current one is Cobalt but in future, it might have be using Manganese although it is more expensive than Cobalt.

Besides that, For those who are staying in Selangor. There's a Mitsubishi i-MiEV Showcase at One Utama Shopping Centre so don't miss out this as you can know more about what's Electric Vehicle.

Date: 19th - 23rd Oct, 2011
Time: 10 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Venue: Ground Floor, Highstreet, 1 Utama Shopping Centre

So I shall update more information on the EV once I have the news on it yeah. Stay Tuned to UnderCoverProject by JLean.

New technology enhances the Battery Performance

2011-10-19T23:07:00.002+08:00

Credits to: http://paultan.org/

Read an article by Paultan.org stating that the automakers over in Japan are working out with companies in other industries in developing a technology to improve the performance of storage batteries which can be used in both vehicles and homes.

First of all, Toyota is working together with the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation, in creating a prototype on the next-generation storage battery that’s based on a solid core instead of a liquid one. Because it doesn’t have an easily combustible liquid core, the new-gen battery doesn’t require fire-retardant materials, which will allow the use of a simple structure to lower costs. With the technology, battery can easily be processed into sheet form, which is able to store several times the amount of electricity, compared to the current gen of EV batteries. It enables a higher maximum driving distance per full charge for compact ( Electric Vehicle ) EVs to around 1,000 km compared to 200 km in the current development. Toyota & its partners aim to further improve the battery & commercialize it sometime in 2015 to 2020, and it is said that the tech can also be used to design compact, home-use storage batteries.

Secondly, Mazda together with Hiroshima University has come up with a new electrode material that it says can boost battery capacity by roughly 80%. The material, which is based on molecular spheres of carbon measuring several hundred nanometers in diameter, can approximately halve a battery’s weight but maintain the same levels of storage capacity. Mazda says the new electrode material is likely to be commercialised in about 5 years.

Last but not least, besides the 2 automakers, electronics giant NEC says it has developed a lithium-ion battery with an electrode that uses manganese instead of cobalt, which is more expensive. It has also altered the composition of the battery’s electrolyte and improved its durability, making it possible for the unit to be recharged 20,000 times. This will make for the development of household storage batteries with a 13 year life span, compared with 7-8 years right now. NEC is looking forward in getting the durability up to 20 years & have the battery out into the market in 5 years.

Gears & Transmission

2011-08-09T23:35:00.000+08:00

There are several gears that I have study lately. This includes Super Gear that normally fitted to a performance car, Reverse gear and it creates a higher pitch of noise compare to others. Besides that, I also learn that most of the cars are using Helical Gears, this type of gear provides a smoother yet a more quiet gear shifting compares to Super gear. On top of that, there are Straight Beval Gear & Spiral Beval Gear. Both of it almost have the same working design.

Super Gear - Normally fitted to Performance Car eg Quick Shifting for Drag/ Rally Cars with just a tap up/down for shifting. Reverse Gear uses it too that's why you might find that the gear is much louder compare to the normal driving gear when you engage from D to N or to R.

Helical Gear - Commonly used in most of the transmission.

Although VW has its own DCT ( Dual Clutch Transmission ) for quite some time ago and it really brought in many peoples attention when its function is when running the 1st gear, the 2nd gear is already in prepare and ready to engage. It reduces the delay and saves time while shifting up or down the gears. However, as time goes by there are more technologies coming up and getting more advanced just to suite the customer needs. Besides DCT is quite heavy yet it's hard to maintain & costly too though compare to the marketplace that offers other type of technology which can perform the same as it (DCT).

Saw on the article lately on the Xtrac Transmission whereby it is an implementation of gears when both the gears are operates together and have an excellent result in shifting and you just won't get delay on the shifting. They have started the R&D since 2002 and has completed now but it has a different aspect than the VolksWagon's DCT creation. As for now, I still need to get more source to write more about it.

So Stay tuned peeps for more information on other Automotive Related topics yeah as I will be writing mostly on the parts from now on.

Cheers,
JLean

Power Steering Fluid

2011-05-23T21:40:00.001+08:00

Power Steering Fluid, wonder if it's necessary to change it periodically?

It is better to change the power steering fluid periodically as many car owners completely overlook about this small matter. Sometimes, this small matter can be big when it affect other parts. This power steering fluid deteriorates with age and it affects its performance therefore, for those owners who do lots of city driving, it is better to change it regularly as the owner gets the better feel while turning the car lock to lock and essentially giving the fluid a solid workout.

So when changing the fluid starts with hoisting the front of the car onto stands and then unhooking the pressure hose from the power steering pump and letting fluid drain all out. After that, start the car and turn the steering from left to right until all the fluid has been pumped out. Next, you have to reattach the pressure hose to the power steering pump and fill the reservoir with the new fluid.

Make sure to let all out all the air then, the procedure repeats as above. Start up the car and turn the wheel back and forth while topping up the reservoir until the fluid stays just under the MAX Level.

How to see if your Power Steering Fluid has gone all out:

- The Power Steering Fluid was clear from new and it turns Yellowy orange when it becomes Dirty. Besides that, if you're pouring the red fluid then when it becomes brown, this shows that it's dirty.

Sharing my Personal Tips to going Eco- Green

2011-05-14T10:39:00.001+08:00

Although I do not have a HYBRID car or electrical car for me to pursue my dream of going GREEN and saving the world by reducing the emission of Carbon monoxide and other poisonous Gas released by the output of the engine to the exhaust but I do aware that the global warming is getting the attention by everyone by now as the weather nowadays are really hot and the haze is just lowering our immune system and causing people to be sick due to this weather.

So my point is, if you're not using your car or waiting for someone. Just kindly stop the engine of the vehicle and wait outside or park at the shed while waiting. Do not turn on the engine as it is still producing the heat yet the fuel is still burning inside the engine. So do your part and it can saves up your fuel yet it won't drains your money from your pocket too.

Secondly, get yourself a Car Shades as this really helps for a weather like Malaysia whereby you can see the sun is non stop shining. This is for people who parks the car at the outside or outdoor parking space yeah. This sun shades can reduce the heat from entering the vehicle yet causing the vehicle to be like an oven or microwave when u enter especially those car with leather seats, it will be pain in the ass when u sit inside once you open the car. So Sun shade can prevent the UV and the Sun Heat wave from entering yet protecting ur dashboard from getting crack faster due to the heat.

Thirdly, I would like to tell everyone to always check the tyre pressure and make sure it's always in the right Pressure or Psi as this will help us to know if the tyre is puncture or lack of air. If the tyre is not in good shape, it will wear out a side which is not good and you will have to change it earlier than expected and it will waste fuel too when the tyre is not in round but plum shape. Take note yeah. =). On the other hand, do keep the car in a good shape by having a regular check up and service when the Kms have reach its expected value so you will not need to scare of the faulty of some parts due to clog and dirt in it. Having a healthy will saves ur $$ in the pocket as it will have less things to trouble you unlike those car that don't do a regular check up. I would rather spend more on services than having a Squick sound or Nut Falling sound when I drive and that will worries me if I hear those.

So for now, that's all I am Sharing with you guys on how I pursue my dream on going green yet saving the fuel in different way where everyone can do it the same like me. It's not hard yeah, save the earth for the future together yeah!!

RON97 Petrol Raise Up to 20 sen & record high at RM2.90 !!

2011-05-04T21:08:00.000+08:00

The price of premium RON97 petrol will be INCREASED by 20 cents to a record high of RM2.90 per litre from Thursday which happens later after midnight once the clock ticks 12am.

The previous increase was a MONTH ago & now it increases 20 cents again to set it at RM 2.90 !!.

The price of RON97 might go down in future, but this depends on the political situation in the Middle East as well as natural disasters.

Luckily, Subsidised RON95 Petrol and Diesel prices remain unchanged.

Now RON 97 is RM 1.00 Difference from RON 95 !!.

Proton Perdana V6 Ignition Motor Starter

2011-04-29T21:58:00.000+08:00

After a long use of the Motor Starter for approximately 10 years. It has started the tear of the product so I have it replaced with a new Motor Starter to keep my car running. What I can say about the new starter is it gives me a different start up engine noise and I really like the noise because it really start up like a race car. Maybe I have exaggerate a bit but I love the feeling right after installing it. So the Motor Starter Cost me around RM 300 including installation @ Autozone Car Service Centre . So below are the images that I have taken so enjoy the shots yeah. Cheers, signing off by JLean @ UnderCoverProject

This is where the Proton Perdana V6's Motor Starter locates. It locates right at the bottom and it's nearby the extractor so it can be easily seen once you pop up the hood of the car

RON97 Increasing 20 sen to RM2.70 / Litre on 2nd April 2011

2011-04-01T20:59:00.000+08:00

As reported from the news, The price for RON97 petrol will be raised up to RM 2.70 / Litre by the increment of 20 Cents per litre and it will be effective after Midnight tonight.

This is the 4th Increment in four months for RON97, where the price determined by the market float, with the hop to RM2.30 on DEC 1st last year followed by a 10 sen increase to RM2.40 per litre on JAN 5 and another 10 sen to RM2.50 on FEB 1st.

However, Ron 95 fuel still remains the same as reported and hopefully most of the petrol stations won't run out of fuel once the people know about this Price hike of the Ron97 Fuel.
