Turbocharged engines generate more power than naturally-aspirated engines of the same size. And the combustion process becomes more efficient. Furthermore, this helps reduce emissions and enhance the driving experience. A turbocharger is highly engineered with high-value components. The next step ...
Superchargers can make their power straight from the engine pulley, rather than wait for the exhaust to build up. This means there is no turbo lag. And compared to turbocharged engines (including their associated piping), supercharged engines are relatively simple. It’s a pulley, connected to ...
In its place is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 540 horsepower. That's enough grunt to continue to fight the Ford F-150 Raptor, but the switch results in a drastically toned-down engine note compared to the truck it replaces. Before we get too down on the demise of the...
Let's break the word down into its two parts: 'Eco' and 'Boost.' Eco clearly refers to something related to the ecosystem, while boost refers to an increase in performance. Put them together, and you get a series of efficient, turbocharged, direct-injection gasoline engines. First introduce...
which makes up to 430 PS with a 3.6-liter twin-turbo boxer engine, is a road-legal GT race car developed and built by the Porsche Motorsport department at the Weissach Development Center. “Ready to race” was the company’s claim. From model year 2007, Porsche also offered a road-ready...
The redesigned 2025 Armada full-size SUV now uses a V-6 instead of a V-8, and the new model is significantly improved compared with its predecessor.
The impact of decatting will be amplified in a turbocharged car however, as the removal of a precatalytic converter would allow an increase in flow of exhaust gasses into the turbocharger. Catalytic converters work best when at high temperature, so a precat is a smaller version found higher ...
Is this true? Or should I always.VR-4: Viscous Realtime 4-wheel driveThe 3000GT VR-4 is twin-turbocharged and is the fastest version of the 3000GT. It goes from 0-60 in 5.2 seconds just like the Nissan Skyline and it has a top speed of 160mph. It has 280HP and it competed ...
Find Out How A Turbocharger Works? A turbocharger is turbine-driven. It is a forced induction mechanical device. First, it compresses the incoming air. Then, it pumps the air into the engine cylinder at high pressure. Thus, it increases the engine’s efficiency and power output. It is ...
With the TFSI badge, you’ll find this on every petrol car that Audi sells and diesels with TDI, but what does it mean? What does TFSI stand for? TFSI stands for Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection and is used to let people know that the engine is a turbocharged petrol unit. Before...
