What is the equivalent gasoline engine displacement for a 2.0T diesel engine?
1 Answers
Engine displacement, often simply referred to as displacement, is the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine, calculated as the product of single-cylinder displacement (Vh) and the number of cylinders (Id). The cylinder displacement refers to the volume of gas swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke. A 2.0T engine has a displacement of 2.0 liters, with the 'T' indicating the addition of a turbocharger. The turbocharger utilizes the exhaust gases produced by the 2.0-liter displacement to enhance the vehicle's power output. A 2.0-liter diesel engine typically delivers power equivalent to about 1.4 times that of a gasoline engine of the same displacement, meaning a 2.0T diesel engine roughly matches the power of a 2.8-liter gasoline engine.
