If you want to know how to increase your car's power, then stay until the end!
No matter how much you buy a car with a specified power, it is not set in stone. Therefore, it is possible to use some accessories and reprogramming to give your engine more power.
Since many people are looking for ways to increase the power of their car, we have prepared a text here with 6 ways to increase the power of your engine in a safe and correct way, without harming the machine.
It's true that engines often have much more power than you take advantage of. Therefore, nothing fairer than maximizing the efficiency of your engine, to enjoy the maximum possible power, right?
Check out 6 ways to increase your car's power.
6 ways to increase car power
Invest in more air intakes
A first option for those who want to increase their power of the car, is to increase the number of air intakes in the vehicle.
When you enlarge your car's air intakes, in addition to it acquire more power, you can still save on fuel consumption.
Because, the more air there is, the faster the fuel will burn. This consequently generates more energy for the engine, ensuring more efficient use of the vehicle.
Modifications of mechanical parts
For those who like to tinker with the vehicle's engineering, there are several ways to increase the car's power by modifying certain components. In general, these changes aim to increase the force that the engine is capable of generating.
In this sense, there are kits for modifying injection nozzles and fuel pumps. These kits have greater fuel flow and pressure, allowing power to be gained. However, it has the downside of being a more expensive investment and considerably increasing fuel consumption.
Other mechanical modifications in this sense also include changes to pistons, rings, connecting rods, bearings, piston pins, crankshafts, gaskets, among others.
These changes to the parts aim to extract extra power from the engine by modifying the proportion of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
Always check the filters
It may seem too obvious, but many drivers end up forgetting to check the car filters frequently, and this directly impacts, and greatly, when we talk about the car's power.
Change the air filter and the diesel/gasoline filter must be a periodic job, and always done within the time that the manufacturers stipulate in the product instructions.
However, if you want to avoid losing power over time, reducing this interval and changing it sooner than necessary will greatly benefit your car's combustion efficiency, affecting the vehicle's performance as a whole.
Oh! And many people tend to support the idea of cleaning their vehicle's filters with an air compressor.
But this tactic is not guaranteed and, instead of helping you save money with the change, it could end up increasing your expenses in the future, if the filter does not work with the necessary efficiency to guarantee the vehicle's safety.
Therefore, always try to make the exchange before the expiration date, choosing STK air filters, which offer up to 3x fewer changes, better performance for your engine and much more protection!
Check out other exhaust options
A fourth way to increase the car's power is by changing the Escape. A vehicle's exhaust is done through the exhaust pipe, as you may already know.
This tube, in turn, can have an influence on the performance of the engine as a whole due to a very simple logic: the faster the exhaust of gases resulting from the burning of fuel, the better the vehicle's performance and functioning.
Therefore, a simple tip is to analyze the size of your car's exhaust pipe. If it is too small and tight, the gases will probably take longer to be expelled, and the car will have more difficulty carrying out the process.
By changing the exhaust pipe to a wider option, with a larger diameter, your car's power will increase considerably.
Put a turbo
When installing a turbo, it is possible for the powertrain to offer up to twice the initial power.
However, it is very important to highlight that not all car engines can receive a turbo, much less handle the increase in power and torque.
Therefore, before equipping your vehicle with a turbo, research carefully whether it is worth modifying your car — considering that the best option would be to have a car that already comes from the factory with a turbo engine, as this way you don't have to worry about premature wear and other problems.
Remap Electronic Injection
Finally, a last way to increase your car's power and one of the ones we most recommend is reprogramming the vehicle's electronic injection.

The electronic injection remap will always work towards increase vehicle power and torque. Best of all, this happens without you having to change the mechanical components of your car!
Basically, a software upgrade is made to your car's electronic injection system, releasing the power it already has, but which was limited by the manufacturer.
Na Strike Brasil, we offer two electronic injection remap modalities, the Stage 1 and Stage 2.
In remap Stage 1, the car comes out with more power and torque, always following the safety margin that your vehicle has and preventing the engine from being damaged prematurely. In general, it is possible to increase between 15% and 65% of the car's initial power.
In the Stage 2 remap option, the work is done with performance-oriented software. The idea is to increase power and exchange beyond Stage 1, but also in a completely safe way.
