How Much Power Does 1.5T Equivalent to in Liters?
1 Answers
1.5T is equivalent to the power of 1.5L, where L represents the unit, and the displacement of a car is denoted by L, which stands for volume and exhaust capacity. 1.5T refers to adding a turbocharger to a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with performance comparable to 1.8T and fuel consumption similar to 1.6T. The biggest advantage of turbocharging is that it can significantly increase the engine's power and torque without increasing the engine displacement, with an improvement rate generally around 30%. A turbocharged engine is one that relies on a turbocharger to increase the intake air volume. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor. When the engine speed increases, the exhaust speed and turbo speed also accelerate, increasing the air compression level and, consequently, the engine's intake air volume, which in turn can boost the engine's output power. When an engine is equipped with a turbocharger, its maximum output power can increase by about 40% or even more compared to when it is not equipped with one.
