Catalytic converters are a crucial component of modern automobiles, responsible for reducing harmful emissions from the exhaust system. But what exactly are these devices made of? At their core, catalytic converters are essentially small chemical reactors. They are composed of a ceramic or metallic substrate, which serves as a support for the catalytic materials. There […]
What is a backbox? A car backbox, also known as a muffler, is an important component of a vehicle’s exhaust system. Its main function is to reduce the noise produced by the combustion process within the engine. However, just like any other car component, the lifespan of a muffler is not infinite and it will […]
Your vehicle’s flex pipe plays a crucial role in the exhaust system, acting as a connector between the engine and the exhaust, and guiding toxic fumes away from combustible parts. Unfortunately, like all mechanical components, it can become damaged over time. If you suspect your flex pipe is in need of repair, it’s important to […]
Tired of listening to the wind roaring past the open windows of your car? Then you should consider investing in high-quality side-window deflectors; these can alter a vehicle’s aerodynamic profile and, thus, protect it from wind, rain and dust. They allow you to roll down your windows and let fresh air circulate inside, without the […]
Wind deflectors, also known as rain guards or window visors, are mounted on a vehicle to improve its aerodynamics when the windows are rolled down. By redirecting the flow of the wind, there is a decrease in the turbulent noise, allowing for a more comfortable ride. Moreover, these also help in shielding you (as well […]
No matter how hard you buff, that little chip on your car’s hood is not going to disappear easily. Even touch-up paint is a temporary solution; it can cover the spot but it won’t completely hide the damage. Vehicle owners frequently have to deal with unsightly dings or dents due to stones, rocks or debris […]
While it is not possible to yield a significant fuel economy boost overnight, vehicle owners are always looking for quick, innovative ways to improve fuel mileage while on the road. Custom-fit wind deflectors are one of the proposed solutions, but do they actually work? Turborevs addresses this question below. What Is the Function of […]
No one tells you the drawbacks of cruising the open road with your windows rolled down and music volume turned up — and that is the turbulence caused by the high winds or the rain damaging your car’s interior as a result. This is where wind deflectors come in: they are not only a sleek […]
Valves and regulators are two pneumatic tools that every engineer, operator and other stakeholders should be aware of. Understanding the distinction between the two is important in the automation industry because, although they serve the same purpose of automated control, they have separate designs and operations. Turborevs highlights the major differences between a valve and […]
Sometimes the standard two-hinge, horizontal-shifting car door just doesn’t cut it. Many vehicle owners may be surprised to know how many distinctive vehicle door designs are available in the market, particularly the ever-popular vertical doors. Even in such types of doors, there are several options available that differ in where the hinge is placed and which […]
