Tata Safari is the first SUV which has been manufactured and designed entirely in India by the famous Tata Motors. It is an all-terrain vehicle which also boasts powerful 3.0 L commonrail turbo diesel engine assisted by 5 speed manual gearbox. First introduced in 1998, it became very popular among Indians who were keen to try out the first local SUV that not only provided a cheaper alternative to Toyota RAV 4 and Honda CRV, but also offered more space.

VX Model

In 2007, engineers at Tata replaced the original 1.9L engine due to ongoing concerns regarding limited power generation. Soon a modified version of Tata Safari was introduced which contained advanced DiCOR variable turbine technology with a power output of 103KW at 4000 rpm. The new Safari VX model sold successfully throughout India but reviews from international critics were mix. While experts praised its off road capabilities, the noise and somewhat sluggish engine performance in humid conditions provided a less satisfactory driving experience. Still, VX model has continued to be a major success,partially because of stable handling and controlled maneuverability.

New Model

Engineers further enhanced the SUV experience by developing a relatively smaller but more user friendly model, Safari GX. The new model featured a 3000cc engine that is able to generate 85KW at 3000 rpm. In addition, interior amenities like two-tone upholstery and leather seats provided a greater incentive to buy GX version. An upgraded version of GX comes fully equipped with ABS and airbags. Sales were further strengthened with optional features including rear AC vents, reversing camera, dimming lights, front seats headrest and DVD player with LCD monitors. All four wheel drive versions of Tata Safari utilize revolutionary Borg Warner shift-on-the-fly transfer case.

The 2009 version, Safari 2.2 DiCOR VX 4x4, has a displacement of 2179cc with a top speed of 152km/h. It has a ground clearance of 205mm and minimum turning radius of 6 meters which allows it to manage equilibrium when turning sharp corners. This year, designers are also offering a refurbished interior which is claimed to be better than other SUV's in its class. Features like chrome grill provide a sophisticated look to dark graphite and beige interior trims. The leather combination upholstery, instrument cluster and polished wood trim are a cut above the rest. Likewise exterior looks are enhanced by the addition of full chrome grill, automatic side mirrors and Ferrari silver painted rear wheel cover.

Saab Biopower 100 Debuted at Geneva Motor Show

Pure ethanol power was unleashed by the Saab BioPower 100 concept at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. Saab extends bioethanol engine technology by formulating the first-production-based turbo engine that runs on 100 percent bioethanol. It promises a never before seen performance from a car using similar fuel. The said concept boasts a peak output of 300 horsepower with remarkably reduced CO2 impact.

Saab’s new concept combined the capabilities of turbocharging and sophisticated engine management with pure bioethanol fuel. It is the proof that green cars could also be thrilling to drive. The automaker’s BioPower 100 concept is an addition to the growing ‘flex-fuel’ segment in Europe’s auto market. The said market is dominated by the brands Saab and Volvo. As a fact, both automakers have already contributed several green cars in the said territory. But they do not simply limit their contributions to engines. You see, their studies also extend to auto parts like Volvo coil springs, Saab brakes, and more. This is done to push efficiency to the maximum.

“This exciting concept shows the tremendous potential of bioethanol, in terms of both performance and future opportunities to ‘rightsize’ engines,” says Jan Åke Jonsson, Saab Automobile’s Managing Director. “Bioethanol is already entering the European market as E85 fuel and we look forward to seeing further supply infrastructure developments that will make it more widely available in the future.”

The concept is an evolution of the automaker’s 9-5 SportCombi. The 19-inch ‘turbine’ alloy wheels inspired by those of the award-winning Saab Aero X concept which has debuted at Geneva in 2006. The interior of the car delivers a luxurious feel that is bolstered by the unique white leather upholstery mated to the main fascia and door trims. These are finished in black leather overlaid with carbon fiber-effect. The car is also equipped with Saab’s innovative AlcoKey, a device that aids drivers steer clear of drinking and driving.

The Saab Biopower development is focused on the ethanol fuel. The first attempt was the E85 fuel which is 85 percent bioethanol and 15 percent gasoline. The recent attempt is the BioPower 100 Concept which runs on 100 percent ethanol. The concept wanted to showcase how bioethanol could be extended to offer not just improved emissions potentials but dramatically enhanced performance as well.

The fuel is designed to resist harmful self-ignition, or ‘knocking’, as the fuel/air mixture is compressed in the cylinder. It is denoted by E100’s high 106 RON octane rating. The Concept operates with a compression ratio of 11.0:1, compared to 8.8:1 for the standard gasoline engine. This outstanding ratio has been yielded by altering the shape of the piston crowns to diminish the volume of the combustion chamber hence increasing the engine’s compression ratio.

How much would it cost to put a turbo in my engine?

I have just purchased a 1983 Itasca Motorhome with a 6.2 L general Motors diesel engine. I was driving it home across the West coast and in some mountainous areas we were barely doing 25 up the inclines. Can I add some kick to this old thing in order to make better time, and any idea how much it might cost?

Most good turbo kits cost around $2000. Banks, ATS, Hypermax, are the only three that I know of that still make turbos for the old engines.

'The Kid' no more: After consecutive drifting championships, no one cares about Eric Manalo's age
Dubbed 'The Kid' a few years back as a 16-year-old prodigy when drifting first took off on the island, Eric Manalo is no longer seen as someone who is 'good for his age' by his fellow drifters.
