What is the difference between 1.8t and 1.8TD?
1 Answers
1.8t and 1.8TD are both turbocharged, but the difference is that 1.8t represents a turbocharged gasoline engine, while TD stands for a turbocharged diesel version. Below are some relevant introductions about turbocharging: 1. Function: Turbocharging increases the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or even more compared to when it is not turbocharged. The same engine can output greater power after turbocharging technology is applied. On another level, turbocharging can improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions. 2. Introduction: Turbocharging (Turbo) is essentially an air compressor that increases air intake by compressing air. It uses the inertial force of the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller then compresses the air delivered by the air filter pipe, pressurizing it before it enters the cylinder. The 'D' stands for the diesel version. The advantages of diesel engines include high low-speed torque, meaning better acceleration performance, as well as fuel efficiency. The drawbacks are higher technical requirements and higher costs.
