What is the equivalent displacement of a Volkswagen 1.4T?
1 Answers
1.4T is equivalent to a displacement of 1.8L-2.0L. Here are the relevant details: The 1.4T is essentially a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharger. The displacement is still considered 1.4L, but the power output becomes significantly stronger. Turbocharged engines generally achieve power levels equivalent to 1.3 to 1.5 times their displacement in naturally aspirated engines. Therefore, it can be simply stated that a 1.4T is equivalent to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.8-2.0L. The meaning of 'T': 'T' stands for turbocharged engine. The primary function of a turbocharger is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing its power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful. When a turbocharger is added to an engine, its maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to the same engine without a turbocharger. This means that the same engine can output greater power after being turbocharged. In terms of performance, a 1.4T engine can exhibit significant variations in power and torque output depending on different tuning configurations. The tuned performance is roughly comparable to that of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, but the low-speed torque advantage of the turbocharged engine is unmatched by naturally aspirated engines.
