At what RPM does the Song MAX turbo kick in?
2 Answers
Song MAX turbo kicks in at 2000 RPM. Below is some knowledge about turbocharging. How turbocharging works: Gasoline engines rely on combustible mixtures of gasoline and air burning inside the cylinders to generate power. For fuel-injected gasoline engines, the output power and torque depend on the amount of air entering the cylinders. When the engine is already operating at its optimal performance, the only way to increase output power is by compressing more air into the cylinders to increase the combustible mixture, thereby enhancing combustion power and boosting output. Classification of turbocharging technologies: The main turbocharging technologies currently include mixed-flow turbocharging technology, variable turbocharging technology, two-stage turbocharging technology, and electrically assisted turbocharging technology.
Anyone who has driven the Song MAX knows that its 1.5T engine is quite powerful in the city. Basically, when you press the accelerator to about one-third, and the tachometer reaches 1300 rpm, you can feel the turbo starting to kick in. By 1750 rpm, the turbo is fully engaged, and the push-back sensation is particularly noticeable, making overtaking and lane changes very crisp. It's most evident when climbing slopes with a full family load—just past 1500 rpm, the car feels particularly strong, completely unlike the sluggishness of a regular 1.5 naturally aspirated engine. During normal driving, there's no need to deliberately rev high; the power comes promptly with normal throttle input.
