What does 220turbo mean?
2 Answers
240 refers to torque, TURBO refers to turbocharging, and 240turbo means a turbocharged engine with 240 torque. If you see Turbo or T on the rear of a car, it indicates that the car is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Notes: If you see Turbo or T on the rear of a car, it indicates that the car is equipped with a turbocharged engine. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases air intake by compressing air. It uses exhaust gases to drive the turbine wheel, which in turn drives the pump wheel, forcing more air into the engine, thereby increasing engine power while reducing fuel consumption. Advantages of turbocharging: It can significantly increase engine power and torque without increasing engine displacement. Turbocharged engines are not only more fuel-efficient but also reduce emissions of CO (carbon monoxide), CH (hydrocarbons), and PM (particulate matter).
I'm into car modifications, and the 220Turbo badge is super common on car bodies. The number 220 usually indicates the engine's peak torque is around 220 N·m, just like the 220Turbo badge on my Civic's rear. This Turbo badge directly shows it uses turbocharging technology, which compresses air to make gasoline burn more completely, resulting in a very noticeable power boost. However, it's worth noting that some older Mercedes models with a 220 badge represent a 2.2-liter displacement, so you have to consider the specific model and year. Nowadays, even hybrids like the Accord use labels like 380Turbo, which actually reflects the combined torque of the entire powertrain system. The pace of technological evolution is really fast.
