My dad has a 95 Opel Kaddet 1.5 turbocharged engine with intercooler and it accelerates very fast. But purists don't like turbos very much, cuz a car with the same power and no turbo (naturally aspirated) accelerates faster. It is a simple way to raise the power of a car. :P

nooo.. turboed engines have broader torque curve than naturally aspirated ones, so car with turbo accelerates faster (taking equal car weight, gear ratios etc.) 8)

hey, some people obviously don't know as much as you do :lol:

thanx for posting the links tho...i'm sure they'll help out some people

Turbos rule dudes :mrgreen:

Especially if its in a Lingenfelter vette! :mrgreen:

:D :D

I don't want to be rude, but please guys quit posting threads from how stuff works. We could have thread upon thread about whats covered there. One thread that says try how stuff works for basic automotive tech is enough.

yeah, im gonna have to agree with you on that one

:lol: :lol: Thanks Brembo I knew you would come around one day.. :lol:

was?

turbos rule dude, as long as its in a cordia


hahha
actually cordias suck!!!

go the 6.4 psi with no cooler

personaly i think turbo are amazing things, incresing the power of small capicity engines is something that is quite remarkable
"turbo the replacment for displacment"
aswell as awsome AWD systems (such as that found on WRX's and Evo's)

it is quite intresting to understand how they work and evreything associated with them.
