We frequently come across cars in daily life. However, some of us are unfamiliar with the terminology used in these two-wheeled vehicles.
We shall examine some of the terms used frequently in two-wheeled vehicles here:
1. Horsepower (horsepower)
A popular measurement of engine power is horsepower, or more commonly (HP). In the automotive industry, the term "horsepower" is frequently used, but its definition varies from vehicle to vehicle and from country to country. 75 kilogram-force meters [kgf • m] seconds make up one horsepower. The car can move more quickly the more horsepower it has.
Sedans normally have 120 horsepower motors, and larger vehicles typically have 200 horsepower engines SUVs. Smaller cars usually have 70 horsepower engines.
2. Miles
The distance a car can travel on one liter of fuel is one mile. The age of the car and the distance driven determine whether the mileage is high or low. In other words, if you consider the age of the car, excessive mileage is defined as 100,000 kilometers or more of travel.
If your vehicle reaches this mileage, it needs to be serviced so that the engine parts, oil, and water may be replaced (if necessary). A automobile that is 15 years old and has 100,000 kilometers on it is preferable to one that is 3 years old and has the same mileage. The car's engine has to be tuned if you notice something like that.
3. Vehicle chassis number
A unique vehicle identification number, or NIK, is often assigned to every car. A car's birth certificate is this 17-character number, which comprises letters and numbers. The NIK database has a wealth of data about automobiles, including their history, models, variations, manufacturing locations, and technical specifications. This number is visible on several automotive components, including the driver's door, the dashboard, and the area under the passenger seat.
4. Air Filter
The air filter or car air filter is the safety protector of your car. While these auto parts do not protect your car from theft and break-ins, the air filter prevents dirt from entering your car's engine. The engine compartment requires an average of 9,000 liters of air per minute, and a clean air filter plays an important role in ensuring engine performance. When the air filter is full of dirt, clean air cannot enter, which affects the engine to provide sufficient fuel power, which in turn affects the overall engine power.
5. Oil viscosity
Oil viscosity plays an important role in maintaining the condition of the car. In general, vehicle lubricants are classified according to their viscosity (oil viscosity), which refers to their effectiveness when poured at a certain temperature. Thinner oils have a lower viscosity and can be poured more easily at lower temperatures than thicker, high viscosity oils.
Liquid oil reduces engine friction and allows the engine to start faster in cold weather. Thicker oil maintains film strength and oil pressure better at high temperatures and loads. To do this, you need to know the various signs of low car oil.
6. Cooling
The cooler ensures that your car's engine doesn't overheat in summer or freeze in winter, which can cause serious engine damage (and cost more). Antifreeze, also known as antifreeze, is a combination of ethylene glycol and water that needs to be replaced because the chemicals in it break down and break down over time. If the coolant is not replaced, the damage can be a leak, damage to the car's cooling system, and the risk of the engine overheating.
7. BRAKE
The operation of the car's brakes actually does not need further explanation. The task of this section is to slow down the car so that the car can stop safely and avoid a collision. In general, the brakes last at least 80,000 kilometers. However, braking also depends on driving style, location, driving frequency and many other factors. Some car models have sensors and signals that alert the driver when it is time to replace the brake pads. If your car doesn't have this function, you can also tell when the brakes need to be replaced, for example by a strange sound coming from the brakes or by checking the brakes on the sides of the rims.
8. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) EFI
EFI is a component that is placed on the engine and replaces the traditional fuel combustion system that still uses a carburetor with a more modern electronic injection system. Advantages of machines using the system
EFI is greater efficiency. This is because there is almost no loss of fuel in the EFI system. How could that be? In system
In EFI, gasoline is injected directly into the front of the engine valve through the injector. EFI itself is an automotive term that is often used in Toyota cars. Usually called PGM-F1 on Honda cars and YMJet-Fi on Yamaha cars. But despite the difference in names, all three have almost the same working principle and function.
9. I-DSI
I-DSI or also known as Intelligent Dual Sequence Ignition is a technology that uses two spark plugs in one cylinder simultaneously. With two spark plugs facing each other in one cylinder, I-DSI technology produces a generally smoother combustion result. This is because when two spark plugs ignite, there are two combustion points in one cylinder.
using I-DSI technology to minimize the risk of incomplete or incomplete combustion. Thanks to this, fuel efficiency and torque are higher.
10. VVT-I
VVT-I (Variable Valve Timing Intelligent) is a system for regulating valve opening times with different variations. Generally the valve opening time is different because it is affected by the camshaft. Then, the camshaft cam compresses the valve as it rotates.
The use of the VVT-I system itself aims to maximize the air entering the cylinder chamber. This VVT-I technology is applied to Toyota and Suzuki cars which refers to the timing of the intake valve.
