Are ""TURBO"" engines really a bad idea?
>>28637069turbo cars are less reliable.
>>28637069As an addition to similar displacement NA engines? Not at all.As a way to make 1.5L 3 cyl engines seem less anemic than they really are? Absolutely.
>>28637069I wouldn't be surprised if they start getting replaced with electric compressors (picrel) in the next decade or so, but in the meantime they're great. Good for emissions, good for power, and all of the design tradeoffs are well understood.
>>28637069there are better and worse ways to do itmost car engines use the low effort way of using plain bearing turbines with the engine oil looped in to lube it, which on top of commonly bad sealing as well can introduce a lot of shit into the system and increase trouble over time
>>28637069It's proven tech. People just hate it because their car doesn't have it but diesel guys have been knowers for decades now. I'd take an online 4 cyl with turbocharger over any configuration sans a supercharged V8 tbqhwy.
>>28637096ok but tt v8
>>28637109Gross.
>>28637115top zozzle
The problem with turbo-gasoline is that its usually not made with the more durable materials like turbo-diesels are.Also those small 1.5L engines simply won't endure the forced induction from a turbo for long.
>>28637128>Sports carGross. I'd rather have a new 4Runner and a Ducati MX for half the price.
>>28637159That's not true they're using CGI blocks now. Plus they're being paired with hybrid for low end torque so theyre really not doing anything except cleaning the exhaust and providing passing power.
>>28637178>GrossWhat are u some kind of fem boi?
>>28637159They aren't running that much boost
>>28637192probably a turbo miata ownerso yes
>>28637192Sports cars are homosexual. I like offroading with other men to remote areas where we can be alone in tents after getting sweaty and dirty pulling trucks out of the mud by JERKING them out.
>>28637226my 1.4 runs 22.4 psi most of the time. when its hot out it can hit 24psi
Turbos are great. Only faggots who can’t afford to boost their cars disagree.
>>28638270lol that turbine inlet pipe lmao (skull)(skull)
>>286370692 top german cars in nurburgring are turbo'dsimple as
>>28638270look, i get you paid 8 grand for an upmarket ebay turbo kit, but NA is just better, ok?
>>28637074Isn't that just a super in a different form?
>>28638507>but NA is just better, ok?>be biturbos>dominate nurburgingbetter at what, not running on tracks?
>>28638619A turbo is just a supercharger in a different form too. What's your point?
>>28638507>eBayMore than you can afford palBORG. WARNER.
