What is the displacement of a 1.8t engine?
1 Answers
1.8t is equivalent to a 2.4L naturally aspirated car, where 't' stands for turbocharging. Simply put, a 1.8t engine is a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharger to enhance its output power and torque. Currently, there is no exact standard for turbocharged displacement conversion, as many factors influence the displacement, such as vehicle model differences and manufacturer settings. In Western countries, the conversion is generally calculated by multiplying the turbocharged engine displacement by 1.4 to get the car's displacement. In China, only the direct number is considered, meaning both 1.8t and 1.8L are taxed as 1.8L displacement. Since turbocharging not only provides stronger power than naturally aspirated engines but also improves fuel efficiency, many automakers have introduced small-displacement turbocharged engines. Generally, a larger displacement means higher output power, but it also comes with higher fuel consumption. Off-road vehicles and sports cars usually have higher displacements. Smaller-displacement cars, on the other hand, have more modest power performance but better economic practicality. However, even small-displacement engines, when tuned with a turbocharger, can match or surpass the power output of larger naturally aspirated engines.
