The Origin of Turbocharging

The early function of turbocharging was to increase the engine's power, so today we will learn about its origin and principle together.

Early turbochargers were used in sports cars or Formula Racing, so that in racing events where engine displacement was limited, the engine could obtain greater power.

The main function of turbocharging is to increase the intake volume of the engine, thereby increasing the power and torque of the engine, making the car more powerful. After installing a turbocharger on an engine, its ****** power can increase by 40% or even higher compared to when it is not installed, so more and more people support turbocharging.

This also means that the same engine can generate greater power after being turbocharged. Taking our common 1.8T turbocharged engine as an example, after turbocharging, the power can reach the level of a 2.4L engine, but the fuel consumption is not much higher than that of a 1.8T engine. On another level, it is to improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions.

A turbocharged engine is a type of engine that relies on a turbocharger to increase the intake of air, and the turbocharger (Turbo) is actually an air compressor. It uses the exhaust gas emitted by the engine as power to drive the turbine inside the turbine chamber, which in turn drives a coaxial impeller located in the intake duct. The impeller compresses the fresh air sent by the air filter pipeline and then sends it into the cylinder.
