How Much Horsepower Does a 1.6L Naturally Aspirated Engine Have?
1 Answers
1.6L naturally aspirated engines generally output around 120 horsepower. Below is relevant information about naturally aspirated engines: 1. Definition: Natural aspiration refers to the process where the air-fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder during the first stroke by the naturally formed pressure difference, while forced induction involves compressing the air first to increase its pressure and density. When the valve opens, the intake volume and power increase due to the pressure difference and the high pressure of the air itself. Naturally aspirated engines do not have a supercharger; air simply passes through the air filter-throttle (commonly known as the "throttle valve")-intake manifold to reach the "cylinder," and gasoline is directly injected into the intake manifold via the fuel injector. 2. Advantages: Naturally aspirated engines far surpass forced induction engines in terms of smooth power output and direct responsiveness.
