How does turbocharging work?<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

In the old days of automobile design, engineers had to choose between fuel economy and performance. In the 21st century, nobody needs to choose one at the expense of the other. <\/span>The secret to this sorcery isn\u2019t magic, it\u2019s science \u2013 commonly referred to as turbocharging. So, how does turbocharging work? <\/span>All internal combustion engines work the same way<\/a>, air and fuel are combined before being ignited by a spark. This may seem<\/span> like a lofty subject, but it\u2019s <\/span>actually quite<\/span> simple. Carizma Motors has a vast and diverse inventory of vehicles<\/a>, more and more will be equipped with turbocharged engines. Our team of product experts thought it would be helpful for <\/span>people to understand how this technology works.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Does turbocharging affect fuel economy? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we alluded to earlier, all gasoline-powered engines use a combination of fuel and air to create power. In a non-turbocharged or naturally aspirated engine, air is pulled into the engine via the fan. A turbocharger is basically just another fan that pulls in even more pair. Instead of the fan being turned by a belt, it will trap otherwise escaping exhaust gas to turn an impeller in a tube. By pulling in more air, more fuel can be burned to make more power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would be right in being confused about how burning more fuel can make an engine more efficient. The real secret to employing a turbocharged engine on a platform that is designed to sip gas is displacement. If a given 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine can theoretically make 200 horsepower, it is possible to use a smaller engine to make the same output figures when a turbocharger is in place. It\u2019s all a matter of scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
