Why do 2.0T engines have different horsepower ratings?
1 Answers
Different manufacturers and brands have vastly different engine technologies, so variations in horsepower and other performance metrics are normal. 1. Different boost levels: Turbocharging pressure varies. 2. Different engine components: Including pistons, water pumps, thermostats, etc. 3. Different driveshaft lengths: To ensure load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency, higher torque requires correspondingly shorter driveshafts. 4. Transmission ECU programming: Flashing the ECU can convert low-power engines to high-power versions, but this reduces component lifespan as mileage increases.
