What is the displacement of a car labeled 240?
1 Answers
240t refers to a 1.5T displacement, where 1.5t indicates the engine's displacement. A 1.5t engine is essentially a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharger to enhance the engine's output power and torque. Below is relevant information: 1. Displacement calculation: There is currently no precise calculation standard for converting turbocharged displacement, as many vehicle-specific factors influence displacement, such as model differences and manufacturer-set values. Generally, a turbocharged engine's power output is comparable to that of a naturally aspirated engine with 1.3 to 1.5 times its displacement, so a 1.5t engine is roughly equivalent to a 2.0L displacement. 2. Working principle: Turbocharging utilizes exhaust gases produced during internal combustion engine operation to drive an air compressor, increasing air intake. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have better 'lung capacity.' Greater 'lung capacity' translates to more power and stronger burst performance. Under the same displacement conditions, turbocharged engines outperform naturally aspirated ones and may even exhibit performance beyond their class.
