Disadvantages of turbochargers

2020-12-23

Turbocharging Turbocharging can indeed increase the power of the engine, but it has many shortcomings, the most obvious of which is the lag in power output response. Let’s take a look at the working principle of turbocharging. That is, the inertia of the impeller is slow to respond to sudden changes in the throttle. That is to say, from when you step on the accelerator to increase horsepower, to the rotation of the impeller, more air pressure will be generated. There is a time difference between getting more power into the engine, and this time is not short. Generally, the improved turbocharging takes at least 2 seconds to increase or decrease the engine power output. If you want to accelerate suddenly, you will feel as if you can't get up to speed in an instant.

With the advancement of technology, although various manufacturers that use turbocharging are improving turbocharging technology, due to design principles, a car with a turbocharger installed feels like a large-displacement car. Somewhat surprised. For example, we bought a 1.8T turbocharged car. In actual driving, the acceleration is definitely not as good as 2.4L, but as long as the waiting period is passed, the 1.8T power will also come up, so if you pursue As far as the driving feel is concerned, turbocharged engines are not suitable for you. Turbochargers are especially useful if you are running at high speeds.

In fact, in daily driving, there are few opportunities for turbocharging to start, or even no use, which affects the daily performance of turbocharged engines. In addition, turbocharging also has maintenance problems. Take the 1.8T of Bora as an example, the turbo will need to be replaced at about 60,000 kilometers. Although the number of times is not too much, after all, it adds a little more to your car. Maintenance fees are particularly noteworthy for car owners whose economic environment is not particularly good.
