What is the displacement of 350t?
2 Answers
350t displacement is 2.0t, but some models may have 1.8t. In 350t, the first digit represents the vehicle class; the second digit indicates the engine torque range; the third digit signifies the engine version; and the final letter denotes the engine working method: T stands for turbocharging. Below is an introduction to turbocharged engines: 1. Principle: A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it into the cylinder. 2. Power: As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously. The impeller compresses more air into the cylinder, and the increased air pressure and density allow for more fuel to be burned. By correspondingly increasing the fuel quantity and adjusting the engine speed, the engine's output power can be enhanced.
I used to think 350t meant a 3.5-liter displacement, but I didn't understand until I learned car repair at the dealership. Nowadays, German cars particularly favor this three-digit naming convention - 350t actually mostly indicates a 1.5T or 2.0T engine. Just like the Mercedes C350 actually comes with a 2.0T turbocharged engine that delivers horsepower comparable to the old 3.5L naturally aspirated version. Last time when I helped a owner change spark plugs, after opening up that BMW labeled 330i, there was clearly a four-cylinder 2.0T under the engine cover. These numbers function more like power level codes - the 350 badge roughly equals the 300 horsepower bracket, while the actual displacement requires checking the vehicle manual to be certain.
