2009 VW TDI Upgrades – Advanced Flow Engineering

The 2009 VW TDI Performance Upgrades are finally here! If you’ve been waiting patiently for the chance to modify your 2009 TDI, your wait is over.

True Volkswagen TDI enthusiasts have something to cheer about as new Performance and Upgrade product releases are here for the 2009 VW JETTA 2.0L TDI Sedan and Wagon. After Volkswagen’s decision not to manufacture 2007 and 2008 VW TDI’S, many TDI enthusiasts have pounced on the chance to buy a factory fresh 2009 TDI Jetta. With no TDI vehicles coming off the VW assembly line for a few years, manufacturers of VW TDI upgrades had to turn their attention to other product lines. Now, however, with the popularity of Volkswagen’s new 2009 TDI Jetta’s, upgrade and modification companies have taken note and are again giving car owners the types of Performance products they crave – products that until only recently had been reserved for older model VW TDI’S.

Performance Cold Air Intake Systems and Rapid Power Module’s, or “Chips” as they are often called, are two of the easiest, least expensive, and most effective upgrades you can make to your 2009 TDI Jetta. Diesel engines want cold air to breathe and properly atomized fuel to burn, and an upgraded intake and module will give your TDI just what it needs. If you are interested in maximizing the full potential of your VW TDI, read on.

To give your Turbo Diesel more cold air, a high-quality choice comes from Advanced Flow Engineering, or AFE Power as they are commonly known. AFE has recently released a Performance Air Intake System for the 2009 Jetta TDI 2.0L with an impressive list of benefits and performance data. The system is 100% bolt-on, mounts to the lower airbox housing, and no drilling or cutting is required. After a simple 15-30 minute installation, you can expect air flow to increase 56% over stock. Horsepower gains average +10 at 3150 RPM, and expect Torque to increase by 23 lbs. at 3050 RPM. The system comes with a high efficiency, low restriction air filter in your choice of either a Pro Dry S or a Pro 5R. Most people choose the Pro Dry S for ease of use with filter cleaning being a simple wash and air dry.

Performance modules improve TDI fuel economy and provide extra horsepower at the same time by improving the efficiency of the vehicle fuel injection system. Performance market manufacturer and TDI stalwart Bully Dog now markets a “Rapid Power Performance Module” for the 2009 VW TDI Jetta which effectively improves fuel economy and horsepower. This module is a simple inline, between wiring harness, plug-in chip designed for safe and long lasting use. It is adjustable on-the-fly, allowing you to choose between three power levels; Stock, +10% and +15% horsepower via a simple toggle switch that can be left in the engine bay or installed within the interior of the vehicle for easy access. The total horsepower increase from this module on the highest setting according to Bully Dog’s Dyno testing is +25HP and a torque increase of 30 ft-lbs. If you can keep your foot of the gas pedal you should even see some impressive fuel economy gains on a car that already gets remarkable mileage.

Combine the Performance Cold Air Intake System with the Rapid Power Module and you’ll see tremendous gains in horsepower, torque and economy; perhaps most importantly, though, will be the increased fun you’ll have driving your modified 2009 VW Jetta TDI!

Review Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano – Formula 1-style Buttons

As far as cars go, a Ferrari is near the top of the list for most guys. The glamorous ideal portrayed by Ferrari is something many men dream of. For some, owning a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano makes it seem possible to live a jet set life surrounded by admiring girlfriends and competent mechanics.

The car was named for its total engine displacement of 5999cc, Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature (GTB) and the Fiorano circuit test track on which Ferrari tests its cars. The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a gran turismo (grand tour), or a high-performance luxury model designed for long distance driving. It is considered Ferrari’s most powerful V12-engine car of all time. The car contains a 6L engine that is directly derived from the Enzo supercar that produces 620HP at 7600rpm and 446 pound-feet torque at 5600rpm. Its engineering and design combine to provide comfort, speed and style over long distances.

A car reviewer who once drove a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was thrilled, to say the least, by the power under the hood and the sheer majesty with which it handled wide curves. Singing praises of its “brooding good looks”, it seemed he completely forgave its inefficient windshield wipers and what he considered to be needlessly advanced, Formula 1-style buttons on the steering wheel.

The beauty on the exterior of the Ferrari is also on display in the interior of the car. The Fiorano utilizes the most updated carbon fiber and aluminum technology and combines them with traditional materials like leather to produce a high performance sports car that provides a comfortable ride. Personalization is also available over a wide range of options, the least of which are the interior and exterior of the car.

If you have the cash to flash, then you can’t possibly go wrong with a curvaceous Ferrari in signature red, especially a gran turismo like this one.

Review Ford Fiesta 2009 – Small & Compact

The car of the year for 2009 is the Ford Fiesta. A lot of people were surprised by that, since there are so many other cars available and some of them are very high quality. However, the Ford Fiesta is a low cost car that has a lot to offer, and it gets good gas mileage. That makes it a popular choice for all kinds of people from all walks of life – especially people who have to commute and who don’t want to take public transportation.

The Ford Fiesta is a great way to do that because it’s so small and compact, which makes it easily manoeuvrable. It also doesn’t cost a lot to own or operate, so people on a budget can get what they need for transportation and still afford their rent or mortgage.

Customer will likely opt for one of the two diesel powertrains which is the 1.4-liter Duratorq TDCi with two valves per cylinder providing 68 horsepower and 118 lb-ft of torque or the larger 1.6-liter unit with four-valve cylinder heads producing 90 hp and 150 lb-ft. Ours was equipped with the latter and provided smooth power delivery along our journey. But while the diesel power proved perfectly adequate, we were looking forward to sampling the gasoline-burning Sport model.

Ford Fiest with two turbodiesels, Ford is offering three Duratec four-cylinder engines: a 1.2-liter unit with 60 horsepower and 80 lb-ft of torque, a 1.4-liter version with 96 hp and 94 lb-ft, and the range-topping 1.6-liter Ti-VCT engine corralling a more substantial 120 horses and twisting out 112 lb-ft of torque. As with the diesel power options, each can be mated to a four-speed automatic or 5-speed manual, the latter of which we found had a positive gearchange and well-optimized clutch.

Not everyone will love the Fiesta because some people simply want bigger, flashier, more expensive cars, but for those who need good quality transportation at a great price, it’s very hard to beat the Ford Fiesta.

Now that the Fiesta has been named the car of the year, it’s quite likely that Ford will see a boost in sales of that vehicle, further contributing to its market share, profits, and desirability in the UK car market today.

Toyota – Leading to Number One Position

In the last few months, it had been in the news report that some of the world’s largest automakers are facing the declining period. General Motors is one of them and on the other hand Toyota is getting extreme primacy in the market. It is the belief of some of the experts that by the end of this year, Toyota will lead the General Motors is number of sales but there are some who are expressing a caution in regard of this assessment. So the question still remained unanswered, whether Toyota will rule the auto-market or General Motors will be able to maintain its positions and authority.

Another new technology which is engraved by Toyota is the Hybrid Synergy Drive which always keep the engine in the first gear if the speed of the car changes. The best thing about Toyota is that all the car models are based on perfect reviews and test drives and then only launched in market. This results in fine acceleration about the models particularly in heavy traffics.

Neck to neck competition between Toyota and General Motors: -

The main thing that matters in this world which tells about the number one position of the company is the prestige. If a company is holding the top place, then it means that consumers will be attracted by the reputation of the company and all the company is laying at the top of the game. So when experts talk about Toyota then it was revealed that they are working very hard to reach the heights of success. So, if one is trying is so hard then why must devoid the first rank.

Enhancing features and technologies of Toyota: -

Another reason for the popularity of the Toyota is the company had already moved to the hybrid technology which is proving to be much superior to the average model cars. It had been noted that the cars which are running on the hybrid technology from Toyota are able to produce an average of 40 MPG gas mileage and this average moves to 38 MPG on highways.

The engine in the present Toyota models is 4-cylinder engine which is mainly using gasoline as the main fuel. Besides this, the maximum capacity is 30 KW on 245V battery or 40 horsepower. Maximum power can peaks up to 192 or 140 kilowatts. Besides the capacity of the gasoline engine can be 2.4 liters. On the other hand the electric motor is of 45 horsepower. Another good thing about the latest engine technology in the Toyota car models is that engine can maintain the power band efficiently and this can be done with the help of CVT which constantly transfer front wheels.
