Looking at the entire automotive market, turbocharging is becoming a trend. It seems that with a "T" on the car's butt, it will be higher. Let's talk about the pros and cons of turbocharged engines and maintenance.
I believe that the most direct reason for most people to choose turbocharging is power. The advantage of this small displacement and high power is that natural inhalation cannot be compared.
The turbocharger is actually an air compressor that increases the intake air volume of the engine by compressing the air. Under the premise of the same displacement, the turbocharged engine can be nearly 40% higher than the naturally aspirated engine.
In daily use, when the turbine is intervened, the direct acceleration is transmitted to the vehicle, which is what we call the back feel, which brings a more comfortable driving experience.
The so-called all things are not perfect, and there is bound to be a disadvantageous side.
For the owner, the biggest drawback of turbocharged engines is the high maintenance costs. Because turbocharged engines require high lubrication and cooling of the oil, it is generally necessary to use fully synthetic engine oil for maintenance, which naturally increases maintenance costs.
For the engine itself, the strength of the engine block is high, but the maturity of the turbocharged engine does not reach the level of the naturally aspirated engine, so the consequence is that the engine failure rate will increase. On the other hand, since the turbocharged method will bring higher combustion temperatures to the engine, in theory, the life of the turbocharged engine is shorter, resulting in higher maintenance costs.
In daily driving, most turbocharged models have turbo lag, and the timing of turbine intervention may not be satisfactory. Except for some high-end luxury models, the hysteresis is not significant, but it is not certain, so it needs to go through Test drive to feel.
