Is Takumi's 86 Turbocharged?
1 Answers
Takumi's 86 is turbocharged. How Turbocharging Works: Gasoline engines rely on the combustion of a flammable mixture of gasoline and air within the cylinders to generate power. The output power and torque of an electronically fuel-injected gasoline engine depend on the amount of air entering the cylinders. When the engine's performance is already at its optimal state, the only way to increase output power is by compressing more air into the cylinders to increase the amount of the flammable mixture, thereby enhancing combustion efficiency and output power. Structure of a Turbocharger: The turbocharging system in a gasoline engine consists of two main components: the turbocharger and the intercooler. The turbocharger compresses the air, and the intercooler cools the compressed air. The turbocharger itself is made up of the turbine housing and the compressor. The intake port of the turbine housing is connected to the exhaust manifold, while the exhaust port is connected to the exhaust pipe.
