What does 1.5L in cars equate to in terms of T?
1 Answers
A 1.5L car engine is equivalent to a 1.2 to 1.3T turbocharged engine in terms of displacement. Under the same engine displacement conditions, a turbocharged engine generally delivers stronger power compared to a naturally aspirated engine. The differences between naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines are as follows: Different principles: A naturally aspirated engine utilizes the pressure difference between the engine and the external air to draw in air; a turbocharged engine, on the other hand, uses the waste gases generated during machine operation to drive a compressor for air intake. Different fuel efficiency: Naturally aspirated models tend to be more fuel-efficient in urban driving conditions; turbocharged cars, when running at high speeds (i.e., after reaching higher speeds), will show a noticeable reduction in fuel consumption. After prolonged high-speed operation, the temperature at the turbocharger's inlet becomes very high. If the engine is stopped immediately, the oil lubrication will also cease, but the turbocharger's rotor continues to operate. Without sufficient lubrication and cooling, this may damage the bearings and shaft. It is recommended to let the engine idle for about 3 minutes before shutting it off.
