Brake Systems Upgrade
A brake system upgrade involves replacing or enhancing the stock braking components to improve stopping power, responsiveness, and safety. Upgrades may include larger brake rotors, high-performance calipers, stainless steel brake lines, and advanced brake pads for better heat dissipation and reduced brake fade, especially under high-speed or heavy-load conditions.
Crate Engine Installs
A crate engine install refers to replacing an existing engine with a brand-new, pre-assembled engine (also known as a crate engine) sourced from a manufacturer. These engines come ready for installation, offering increased performance, reliability, and efficiency. Crate engines are available in various configurations, from stock replacements to high-performance options designed for racing, off-roading, or custom builds.
Fuel Systems
The fuel system is responsible for delivering the right amount of fuel to the engine for optimal combustion. Upgrading a fuel system may involve installing high-flow fuel injectors, performance fuel pumps, larger fuel lines, and upgraded fuel pressure regulators. These modifications improve fuel delivery efficiency, enhance engine performance, and support higher horsepower applications.
A/C System Integration
A/C system integration involves installing or upgrading an air conditioning system in a vehicle that may not have originally come with one or improving an existing system. This process includes fitting modern compressors, condensers, evaporators, and electronic controls to ensure efficient climate control and comfort. Custom A/C integration is especially common in classic car rebuilds, where factory air conditioning was not originally available.
