You’ve heard the hypothesis before: Turbocharged cars miss their advertised fuel-economy figures more often and by larger margins than naturally aspirated cars. It’s a notion repeated so often ...
A turbocharger does not place a direct mechanical load on the engine, although turbochargers place exhaust back pressure on engines, increasing pumping losses. [ 52 ] Supercharged engines are common in applications where throttle response is a key concern, and supercharged engines are less likely to heat soak the intake air.
A turbocharged version of the TD27 was introduced in 1988. [4] A low output version of this engine intended for forklift use, producing 38 kW (52 PS) at 2,300 rpm, remained in production with GCT (Global Component Technologies, successor company to Nissan Diesel Industrial Engines) as of 2024. [13]
Ferrari 126C F1 car used a hot vee in 1981. [3] BMW N63 was the first production motor using the hot vee, [4] used in the US-made BMW X6 since 2008.

V10 engines were used by the majority of teams by the 1996 season, following reduction in displacement from 3.5 to 3.0 L (214 to 183 cu in). The ...
By the mid-1980s, turbocharged engines dominated Formula One, until they were banned after the 1988 season. Turbochargers returned to Formula One for the 2014 season, with turbocharged 1.6 L (98 cu in) V6 engines replacing the naturally aspirated 2.4 L (146 cu in) V8 engines that were previously used. The turbocharging combined with more ...
The 1.5-litre turbo engine is essentially an upgrade version of current engine with a max power of 169 hp (126 kW; 171 PS) and a torque of 285 N⋅m (210 lb⋅ft; 29 kg⋅m). The 2.0-litre turbo engine is a newly developed engine from GWM, with a 38% thermal efficiency, while delivering maximum power of 224 hp (167 kW; 227 PS) and a torque of ...
The engine was rugged, reliable, and became noted for longevity. A turbocharged racing engine based on the AMC Straight-6 engine block produced 875 hp (652 kW) and competed in the 1978 Indianapolis 500 race. [27] [28] The final application for the AMC Straight-6 engine was the 2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ), after which a V6 replaced it. [29]
