What is the difference between T and L in car power?

[DelJohnny]

The T in cars stands for turbocharging. L refers to naturally aspirated, indicating the engine's displacement in liters. An engine marked with L instead of T after the displacement is generally a naturally aspirated engine. Below are the differences between T and L: 1. Turbocharging is a technology that uses the exhaust gas generated by internal combustion engine operation to drive an air compressor. However, after turbocharging, the pressure and temperature of the engine during operation will increase, so the lifespan of the engine will be shorter than that of a non-turbocharged engine of the same displacement. Moreover, mechanical performance and lubrication performance will be affected, which also limits the application of turbocharging technology in engines to a certain extent. 2. Naturally aspirated is one of the current types of car engines, which can compress air into the combustion chamber without any turbocharging. Naturally aspirated engines are far superior to turbocharged engines in terms of smoothness in power output and directness of response.
