What is the equivalent displacement and horsepower of a 1.5t engine?
1 Answers
1.5t is equivalent to a 2.0L displacement with 193 horsepower. Below is some relevant extended information: 1. Meaning: The 't' stands for turbocharged engine, and 1.5t indicates the engine's displacement. A 1.5t engine is essentially a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharging device to enhance the engine's output power and torque. 2. Engine: An engine generates power by burning fuel in the cylinders. Since the amount of fuel input is limited by the amount of air drawn into the cylinders, the power produced by the engine is also limited. If the engine's performance is already at its optimal state, increasing output power can only be achieved by compressing more air into the cylinders to increase the fuel amount, thereby enhancing the engine's working capacity. Therefore, under current technological conditions, the turbocharger is the only mechanical device that can increase the engine's output power without reducing its working efficiency.
