What is the equivalent displacement of the new Sagitar 1.2T?
1 Answers
The new Sagitar 1.2T turbocharged engine delivers power equivalent to a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine when the turbo is engaged. Displacement concept: Displacement is an important indicator for evaluating engine performance. The volume of fluid inhaled or discharged by the engine per stroke or cycle is the engine's intake volume. The working volume through which the piston moves from top dead center to bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement. It is generally expressed in liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cc). Power unit: Horsepower is defined as the power of a horse that can pull 33,000 pounds moving at a rate of 1 foot per minute, with watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) used as standard units. That is, 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force meters/second = 735 watts. For a 1.6-liter displacement engine, depending on the brand and tuning method, if it is a naturally aspirated engine, it typically ranges from 100 to 120 horsepower. If turbocharging technology is employed, it can reach up to around 130 horsepower.
