Why Modern Engines Demand Smarter Valve Timing and Stronger Components

The modern automotive engine the internal combustion engine is also having a silent revolution and this is what we are witnessing. Days of low stress power-generation are gone. Modern engines mark their appearance with turbocharging, down-sizing and advanced technology such as Variable Valve Timing (VVT), all to help extract an extra pound of power and economy out of a smaller engine. We note this change as we realize that this new era of high-performance engineering puts more demands on each of the parts, particularly on the valve train system. At Suzhou Topu engine parts co. Ltd. we have realized that to handle these requirements, a new breed of smarter, stronger, and more accurately engineered parts will be needed.

Tighter Tolerances, Higher Temperatures: The New Reality for Valve Systems

This efficiency pressure has seen engines running at much higher temperatures and pressures and we see the effect of this on real world operation. The turbochargers push more air and fuel into the cylinders and produce a stronger explosion and produce high heat. This heat and mechanical stress influences the valve system directly and we are aware of the fact that the valves and the components connected to them should be able to withstand this tough environment without warping, fast wears, or failures.

Conservative elements, which belong to a less active age, may form a weak point in this high-stakes installation, and we have known the results of employing old material. The new reality requires the materials and production processes that guarantee the utmost level of durability and dimensional stability. Components need to be fabricated to retain their integrity and accurate form even when subjected to constant thermal load. Not only strength but reliability. It is essential to use components designed to such tighter tolerances and greater temperatures to achieve long-term health in the engine, do not lose power, and not to spend a lot of money on repairs in the future.

VVT Complexity Requires Precision-Matched Hardware and Lubrication

Variable Valve Timing is a technology that formed one of the foundations of the modern engine efficiency, and we love how it changes performance under the different conditions of driving. VVT systems are dynamically tuned to balance engine performance in terms of power and fuel economy in different circumstances by opening and closing the valves. But with this intelligence a new dimension of complexity of a mechanism is presented. A VVT system is a carefully coordinated team of solenoids, phasers, chains all depending upon the perfect work of the core parts of the valve train and we know how easily this can be upset.

The camshafts or lifters, and timing components may contain any inconsistency that may alter the careful synchronization of the VVT system resulting into reduced performance, increased emissions or system breakdown. Moreover, these complicated assemblies need good lubrication using clean oil to operate properly. At Suzhou Topu Engine Parts Co., Ltd. we specialize in creating the parts which are highly refined to fit with these sophisticated systems. Our components are also created to provide the consistent, reliable performance that VVT systems rely on in order to make it run smooth and safeguard the sophisticated technology of your engine.

Upgrading to Components Built for Today’s Turbocharged, Downsized Engines

Most of the vehicle owners and technicians are currently keeping engines that are basically different to the ones we had back then and we understand how this will alter the maintenance strategies. Just fitting a direct OEM replacement part when the worn one is removed may not be adequate when the original element was not intended to support the constant strains of a current-day downsized turbocharged engine. It is at this point that the philosophy of upgrading comes in play.

It is aimed at choosing components not only the replacements, but the improvements, components that have been designed to perform better than the requirements of the modern power-dense engines. This involves identification of manufacturers who know how to interact high boost pressure to high cylinder pressures and valve train stability. This is the forward-looking trend which Suzhou Topu Engine Parts Co., Ltd. is dedicated to. We design our products with the new engine in mind so that they offer the required stamina and performance that will ensure that the modern advanced cars run powerfully and efficiently over the long term. The selection of the appropriate parts is a future investment on the engine.
