What is the displacement equivalent of 180 turbo?
2 Answers
180 turbo is equivalent to a displacement of 1.0T. Here are some relevant extended details: 1. A typical example is Honda's 180TURBO engine. The Civic 180TURBO is equipped with a 1.0L inline three-cylinder turbocharged engine with the model number P10A1. Although this engine has a small displacement and only three cylinders, it incorporates Honda's mainstream engine technologies such as direct injection, turbocharging, dual variable valve timing (intake and exhaust), variable valve lift on the intake side, and variable displacement oil pump. 2. It has a maximum power output of 92kW and a maximum torque of 173Nm. The Civic 180TURBO can reach peak torque at 2000rpm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.76 seconds and has a combined fuel consumption of only 5.0L/100km.
I think 180turbo in cars usually refers to a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, because Honda and some other models use this designation. The actual displacement is around 1.5 liters, but thanks to the turbocharging technology, the engine's power output is equivalent to that of a naturally aspirated 2.0 to 2.4-liter engine. For example, it offers strong acceleration, powerful climbing ability, and is also fuel-efficient. I've driven a Civic 1.5T myself, and it felt more powerful than my friend's 2.0-liter car, especially with its quick response at startup, unlike the higher fuel consumption of larger displacement vehicles. It's very convenient for daily commuting. Turbocharging is really a black technology in modern cars, turning a small machine into a high-power one.
