[How to] - Lighten a car for more Power !!! - fan2xud - 05-02-2013

For vehicles HDi, TDI or multiplexed wiring harness multiplex or in part,
advice avoid touching any probe, sensor or electrical connections sheets.

Tricks illustrated :

---- RELIEF FRAME ----

- In the engine: the reduction of moving parts is ideal for the reliability of
engine ... and the power gain.
Warning it is not a paradox! For information, turn the flywheel one gain a few
pounds is the equivalent of hundreds of pounds more on the chassis.
Beware though, the relief does not mean "fragile." Many preparer DIY and eased
their crankshaft or camshaft to the extreme, statement of operations: it breaks
on breakage engine or gearbox, see both, not to mention XUD9TE on our turbos.
The important thing is to choose the parts to lighten know where "planing" and
as part the "balance".Eg rods you can earn grams munching excess material
machining ridges, break angles and polish for all they do not load oil.

- On the chassis itself: As for the engine, it is out of the question
weaken the material removal.Reinforcements such hoops weigh down the same
vehicle, but contribute to the safety and handling (chassis rigidity).
By cons you can (and should) remove the vehicle its superfluous (rear seat,
carpet, air conditioning, insulation, gadgets ...) and even as group replace
windows with Plexiglas and wings and bumper by fiber elements lighter and
other carbon.
It also is relative: The carpet floor and the roof lining are not on a 306
not much. Think however remove the insulation under the carpet, but water-laden
and it is unnecessary pounds!

---- RELIEF HARNESS ENGINE AND INTERIOR ----

The beam manufacturer is expected for different models, so there are many son
Unused options or cables not present on the vehicle
- For the various engines and automotive brands
- For electrical options and mechanical elements added
- For the various phases of production Phase1, 2 or 3 = 306 different weights
few pounds near
- Replace the power windows by manual removal of the closure centralized,
rear defrost and wiper and the motor, but it keeps sensor Rain,circuit breakers,
alarm, finally the essential.
- Greatly reduce the weight of the sound as it weighs very heavy.
- Sppression the entire heater with a small guy Rally Competition

Why why reduce the beam of your car?
- To gain weight as 100kg 10hp less = more in theory (at least in practice)!
- To navigate more quickly in case of failure, especially electrical failures.
- For many functions are not used in competition and in our daily so little
useful sometimes.

To gain more weight we can:
- Mount magnesium rims instead of aluminum, 1 kilo per wheel in less and less
means that it is not just 4 kg less, but much more (in relativity).
The engine will be less wrong with revving, huge gain in braking and holding
route.C is a weight "unsprung" rims can save changed between 6 and 8 in 15 Kg
"and between 7 and 9 kg in 16".
- Cutting of certain elements of interior door panels and front + rear
certain places over the rest of the vehicle, especially on the metal body.
- Remove all seals and acoustic insulation and thermal.
- Replace the original battery with a battery lighter amperage equivalent to
- Lighten the flywheel but not too much to do and especially balanced as your
turbo prepared (less weight = less speed but more acceleration on first reports.
- The original glass, this is the weight in the air so that the center of gravity
back ... this is not good for weight distribution and balance self in space.
The glass in Lexan or Makrolon are perfect replacements for weight gain.
- Empty car déblaxoner and then recover from the colorless varnished elements
déblaxonné then install the carpet pretty fine instead of deleted items.
- Replace the bumper, tailgate and bonnet by elements lighter materials but
even the weaker.
- Replace interior door panels by the end of plexiglass or carbon.
- Replace front seats with seats baquest much lighter.
- Replace the dashboard of origin by a carbon plate containing all
elements, or a composite panel.
- Replace the spare avaec its complete attachment system by a bomb anti puncture.
- Remove the air conditioning as well as its electrical and interior buttons.
(Compressor + condenser + pipes connection)
- Remove the sun visors in favor of a visor strip to stick on the windscreen.
- Remove center console and gear lever gaiter.
- Remove the opening mechanism cover and tailgate for fasteners to cover
closing keys.
- Remove the ABS is an optional, only useful circuit (security forces).
- Delete a liquid tank washer nozzles and connect the front and rear
same tank.
- Remove the locking mechanisms in favor of centralized manual locks, small
weight gain.
- Remove the steering of origin, with its pump and heavy hoses and mount in
place electric steering. (Caution: the power gain is minimal because the DA
consumes electrical energy W engine, so small energy saving mechanical hydro
or hydro electric.

Déblaxoner for your car even partially:
- I advise you to use a heat gun or a torch with a spatula and broad tipped
screwdriver or semi-large.(Engine compartment,floor,wheel arches,underbody box).
- For sanding it will be different grain sandpaper or wildest grinding with a
flap disk or carrote with metallic brush.

Umm what?

sound deadening im guessing. it is heavy, theres a good few kilograms of it once youve scraped it all off

Hi guys,Thank you ozonehostile for your explanations,cool !
Déblaxoner = remove Blackson which protects the body of the car, apply varnish colorless spray to protect
effectively the body corrosion.

- You can also invest in an electronic anti-corrosion.This appliance can make a slight electric current over the
entire car body.This will slow the transfer of ions which causes oxidation of the scrap your body.

- It's also possible,once removed Blackson's car,repaint the car with a mixture of electromagnetic charge before
the paint layer.

- Do not forget to clean the mudguards and wheel contours for the slurry stagnant in the corners of the body
and absorbs moisture are always in contact with the scrap metal body, which is rapidly rusting scrap.
