What does 260T mean in cars?
1 Answers
260T in cars has two meanings: the preceding 260 indicates the maximum torque is 260Nm, and the following T signifies that the vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Below is an introduction to turbocharging: Main functions of turbocharging: Increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, and boosting the vehicle's performance. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with one. This means the same engine can output greater power after being turbocharged. Working principle of turbocharging: It uses the exhaust gases expelled from the engine's exhaust port to drive the turbine wheel in the turbine housing. The turbine wheel is directly connected to the compressor wheel in the compressor housing. One end of the compressor housing connects to the air filter, while the other end compresses the air drawn from the filter into the engine's cylinders, achieving the goal of increasing the air volume inside the engine. Maintenance methods for turbocharging: After starting the car engine, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal abruptly; do not shut off the engine immediately after prolonged high-speed operation; choose the appropriate engine oil; regularly clean the engine oil and filter; and clean the air filter on schedule.
