At what RPM does the turbocharger engage in a turbocharged engine?
1 Answers
Turbocharger engagement RPM in a turbocharged engine is related to displacement. The larger the displacement, the lower the engagement RPM. The main function of a turbocharger is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing its power and torque. When a turbocharger is installed on an engine, the maximum power increases by more than 40% compared to without the turbocharger. When the turbo engages, the power output becomes more intense, which is also a way to determine turbo engagement. A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases air intake by compressing air. It uses the inertial force of exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller then pressurizes the air delivered through the air filter pipe, forcing it into the cylinders.
