Installing an engine guard plate is it a love of the car or a destruction of the car?

Cars can be said to be more and more high-tech now, but there are still many people who like to add guards to the engine, so is it good or bad to install engine guards?

First of all, there must be its own benefits, the advantage is to install a layer of protection measures for the engine, after all, the engine of the car is the core part of the car, so it is normal to protect it, so that you can reduce the damage to the car engine due to impact.

Then, if the car often needs to pass through the road section with poor road conditions, then, it is necessary for the car to install the engine guard, but if the car does not often pass through the road section with poor road conditions, then, there is basically no need to install it.

Because the heat dissipation performance of the engine will be affected to a certain extent after installation, and it will also cause the idle sound of the engine to become louder, and the performance of the engine will be seriously affected for a long time, which can be said to be not very good for the engine, so things like the engine guard, unless the road conditions are too poor, do not need to be installed at normal times, and it is indeed destroying the car.

The engine guard plate depends on what kind of engine is installed, the original engine guard plate fits the engine better, which can protect the engine and reduce noise, if it is a mismatched engine guard, it can play a certain role in protecting the engine, but the noise of the vehicle will increase, reducing the comfort of the vehicle.

1. It may change the air flow in the engine compartment when traveling, which will have a great impact on the heat dissipation performance of the engine compartment, and will cause damage to the engine for a long time.

2. The installation of the lower guard plate will change the vibration performance of the engine, resulting in poor idle vibration, poor acceleration vibration and acceleration roar. If it is not installed properly, it may also form a resonance cavity with the engine compartment, which will make the engine noisy.

3. Installing the lower guard plate will not only protect the engine from being bruised, but also become a place to hide dirt and dirt.

<> "Buying a car is no longer an uncommon thing, with the continuous improvement of everyone's living standards, cars are no longer a luxury, but a big way to guess our means of travel. When it comes to buying a car, there are many things that need to be paid attention to, for example, many people will add engine guards to their cars when they first buy a car, but there are also many people who will not add engine guards to their cars. So, is it necessary to add engine guards to the vehicle?

In fact, many new cars have engine guards when they first leave the factory, but some cars don't, so why is there such a difference?

We all know that Toyota's reputation in the automotive industry has been very good, but it does not have engine guards, is this just a manufacturer to save money? In fact, this is not the case, the reason why Toyota does not install engine guards is because Toyota has a collision energy-absorbing design on the front cover of the engine when it is designed, and it will automatically sink as long as the engine collides. This design can protect the safety of the driver and avoid the engine being hit into the cockpit in an accident, but if the engine guard is installed, the engine will not automatically sink after the car is hit, which seriously threatens the driver's life safety.

With this in mind, some cars are not equipped with engine guards.

However, if the engine guard plate is not installed, it is inevitable that some sand particles and stones will hit the bottom cover of the engine in daily driving, which will cause a lot of damage to the engine for a long time. And when the road is not smooth, there may be some hard stones that will destroy the engine, so what should we do?

In fact, no matter what kind of design your car has, we can install engine guards, but there are certain differences in the choice of materials. In the case of Toyota, the best thing to do is to install a plastic engine guard, which can not only protect the car's engine, but also retain the function of automatic engine sinking. In other words, not all cars must be equipped with engine guards made of permeable steel plates.

You don't have to, unless you're walking on a rotten road that's almost all potholes and pebbles.

Disadvantages of installing the guard plate by yourself:

1) Increased the weight of the car. An iron guard plate adds at least five kilograms of weight, which will change the original balanced weight of the car, and it will also have some impact on the extreme performance of the car.

2) Increase noise. After installing the engine guard by yourself, the engine noise will be increased because the guard does not match the original model perfectly, and occasionally noise will occur during driving.

1) Film: Car film is to paste a layer of film-like objects on the front and rear windshields, side windows and sunroofs of vehicles, and this film-like object is also called solar film or explosion-proof heat insulation film.

2) Seat cushions and floor cushions: There are many types of seat cushions and floor cushions, all of which are for the cleanliness and beauty of the car.

3) Steering wheel cover: It is recommended to use a hand-sewn leather steering wheel cover for special cars, which must be completely fitted for special cars, and those who pursue feel and non-slip can choose Alcantara material, which is appropriately thickened and improved at the same time.

Install a good engine guard plate is based on a variety of different models of design of the engine guard, its design is first to prevent mud to wrap the engine, resulting in poor engine heat dissipation, followed by to prevent the engine damage caused by the impact of the uneven road surface during driving, through a series of designs to extend the service life of the engine, to avoid the car breakdown due to external factors during the travel due to engine damage.

Engine guard classification.

1. Hard plastic, resin guard board.

**Relatively cheap, the production process is simple, but it should be noted that this material guard is easy to break, and it cannot be repaired after the damage can not play a long-term protective role.

Advantages: light weight, low weight.

Disadvantages: Easy to damage.

2. Steel or manganese alloy guard plate.

It should be noted that when choosing this kind of guard, it is the matching of the style of its design and the car and the quality of the supporting accessories, and the products of regular manufacturers must be selected. The guard plate of this material can protect the important parts of the engine and chassis to the greatest extent, but the disadvantage is that the weight is heavy.

Advantages: strong impact resistance.

Disadvantages: Heavy weight.

3. Aluminum alloy protection plate.

Many beauty shops push this product, looking at the high profit behind its ** grid, but its hardness is far less than that of steel protection plates. Damage is difficult to repair, and the alloy material is extremely complex and difficult to determine its characteristics, but it is characterized by its light weight.

Advantages: Light weight.

Disadvantages: **High, material strength is not high.

If you decide to install the guards, be sure to look at the equipment in the construction area, as the construction of the guards is quite troublesome. First of all, it is necessary to carefully remove the oil stain of the chassis, use a special detergent to completely remove the asphalt and oil stains, and then dry it, any negligence in these treatments will affect the firmness of the guard plate. Then seal the parts that need to dissipate heat, such as the transmission shaft and other rotating systems, exhaust pipes, with tape or waste newspapers.

In order not to cause accidental damage and affect their normal operation, and to remove these tapes or newspapers after the construction is completed to avoid danger.

Depending on the model and local road conditions, the chassis is low, and if the road conditions are not good, you can install one.

The common ones are metal and resin, and a thin layer can avoid some small scratches, and the kind of large stone support will not have much effect.

The advantages are: 1. Keep the engine compartment clean to prevent water and dust from entering the engine compartment. 2. Prevent the sand and gravel hard objects rolled up after the tires are crushed during the driving of the car from hitting the engine. 3. It can also prevent the uneven road surface and hard objects from scratching the engine.

The disadvantage is that the hard engine guard may hinder the protective sinking of the engine in the process of collision and weaken the protective effect of the engine sinking. In addition, the weight of the car is increased by some comparison, which will increase fuel consumption a little bit.

The engine guard is an engine guard designed according to a variety of different models, which is designed to prevent mud from wrapping the engine firstly, and secondly to prevent damage to the engine caused by the impact of uneven road surfaces during driving.
