Which is faster, turbocharging or naturally aspirated?
2 Answers
Turbocharging is faster than naturally aspirated. Here is an introduction to turbocharging: 1. Introduction: TURBO stands for turbocharging. TURBO can be divided into four types: mechanical supercharging, pressure wave supercharging, exhaust gas turbocharging, and compound supercharging. 2. Principle: Turbocharging is essentially an air compressor that increases the engine's intake air volume by compressing air, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. 3. Function: With technological advancements, although manufacturers using turbocharging are continuously improving the technology, due to design principles, cars equipped with turbochargers drive differently compared to large-displacement cars.
As someone who works with engines all day, I can tell you that turbocharged cars are indeed faster when it comes to acceleration, especially from a standstill to high speed. They force more air into the engine, instantly boosting horsepower, which is particularly noticeable in races or when overtaking. However, naturally aspirated cars are smoother, making them more responsive in stop-and-go city driving without the lag you feel with turbos. But when it comes to absolute acceleration, especially in the high RPM range, turbocharging is the winner. Of course, it also depends on the car's design. Some models with turbos can slow down due to maintenance issues like carbon buildup or oil leaks, which affects long-term performance. Which one is faster? If you're a player chasing explosive power, turbocharging is the first choice.
