For some car owners, the vehicle that rolls off the assembly line isn’t quite up to scratch. For these people, getting under the hood and tinkering, modifying and improving their car’s performance is essential to get the speed and power they want.
Here at Dodson’s we are actively involved in the NZ motorsport scene and can offer you a variety of auto spares and accessories for many makes and models. Whether you’re into drifting, drag racing or souped-up street machines, our qualified team can advise you on the right performance parts to get the power you crave.
In this week’s blog, we’ll look at some of the best car parts to power-up your pride and joy.
Air intakes/Intake piping
A quality air intake system can take your automobile to the next level. Enjoy increased acceleration, greater fuel economy and enhanced sound – if the aggressive roar of an engine is part of what you love about high performance cars.
Intercoolers
Intercoolers are heat exchangers that cool the air that has been compressed by a supercharger or turbocharger. Colder air is safer for your motor, and since colder air is denser it also adds power.
Blow-off valves (BOV)
Blow-off valves protect the turbo against damage while ensuring a smooth and reliable ride. It also happens to make a loud noise that gets everyone’s attention, if that’s what you’re after. We are the NZ distributor for Turbosmart products.
Engine components/Drive train
Lightweight things move faster than heavier things, simple physics right there. So replacing heavy components (such as the drivetrain) with lighter performance parts will give you faster throttle response and more power. We all want more power, right?
Suspension
Lowered suspension has pros and cons, but if you want improved aerodynamics, traction and handling, modifying your suspension parts can help you get the most of your car’s performance. We stock a wide range of OZ Racing adjustable suspension.
Contact us for any of the above car parts, plus a range of others such as radiators, wastegates, flanges and gaskets, oil and cooling systems and electronic boost controllers for an awesome performance upgrade. We’re also NZ distributors for Turbosmart, Mishimoto intercoolers and radiators, Greddy, OS Giken performance parts and products.
So there you have it, the best high performance parts and modifications for better handling, better acceleration and the x factor that will bring envious stares everywhere you go.
