What is the difference between turbocharged and non-turbocharged engines?
1 Answers
For vehicles with the same displacement, the differences between turbocharged and non-turbocharged engines are as follows: 1. The primary function of a turbocharger is to increase air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. When an engine is equipped with a turbocharger, its maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with one. 2. After turbocharging, the engine can generate greater power. At higher RPMs, the output power is improved. Generally, the characteristic is weak performance at low RPMs (except for models like Lancer and Volkswagen). When reaching a certain RPM, there is a sudden acceleration (this characteristic is not obvious in brands like Lancer and Volkswagen). At high RPMs, the performance is exceptionally strong (Lancer). Generally, choosing a small displacement engine with a turbocharger is more economical.
