What is the difference between a 1.8t and 1.8l engine?
1 Answers
The difference between a 1.8t and 1.8l engine lies in their intake methods: the 1.8t engine is turbocharged, while the 1.8l engine is naturally aspirated. Turbocharging is a technology that uses exhaust gases generated by the internal combustion engine to drive an air compressor, primarily aimed at increasing the engine's air intake. Naturally aspirated engines, on the other hand, rely solely on atmospheric pressure to force air into the combustion chamber without any form of supercharging. Advantages of turbocharging: 1. Provides ample power at the rear of the car; 2. Lower emissions. Advantages of naturally aspirated engines: 1. The engine is more refined with a relatively simple structure; 2. Stable idle speed, smooth power output, and low noise during cold starts; 3. Less demanding on oil and fuel quality.
