When a car has a 'T', it indicates that the engine is a turbocharged engine. Below are the specific details about turbocharged engines: Introduction to turbocharged engines: A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. Turbocharging technology is a method to enhance the engine's air intake capacity. Generally, if you see 'Turbo' or 'T' on the rear of a car, it means the vehicle is powered by a turbocharged engine. Advantages and disadvantages of turbocharged engines: The advantage of a turbocharged engine is that, under the same displacement, it delivers higher power than a naturally aspirated engine of the same size, meaning stronger performance. It also tends to be more fuel-efficient. The drawbacks include higher maintenance costs and the need to idle the engine for several seconds after starting and before shutting it down to ensure proper cooling and lubrication of the turbocharger.

Even if included, it is usually made of felt material, which only serves a cleaning function. Below is relevant information about underbody guards: Functions of underbody guards: The underbody guard enhances the flatness of the chassis, reducing air resistance during driving, and prevents mud and water from splashing into the engine compartment. In poor road conditions, it also protects the engine oil pan and transmission. Common materials for underbody guards: Common materials for underbody guards include steel plates, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and resin. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Does the Engine Undercover Affect Engine Collapse?

Installing an undercover does not affect engine collapse. Below are the specific advantages and disadvantages of adding an undercover: Advantages of adding an undercover: For owners who frequently drive on muddy, gravel, or other complex road conditions, the engine undercover can prevent mud, debris, and other foreign materials from entering the engine, keeping it clean and reducing corrosion from rain and snow. More importantly, it can protect the chassis from scrapes and impacts, extending the engine's lifespan. Especially during nighttime driving when visibility is poor, hitting speed bumps or uneven roads can easily damage the engine or oil pan without an undercover. Disadvantages of adding an undercover: However, some vehicle models do not come with an engine undercover from the factory to prevent interference with engine collapse in the event of a collision. If added afterward, it may increase the risk of injury to passengers, which is why many owners choose not to install one.
