The phrase
"larger turbo" refers to a bigger device in a vehicle's engine that helps it produce more power and boost its performance.
Full definition
All that extra power comes courtesy
of larger turbo, paired with a software upgrade, blow - off valves, and high - flow air filter, among others.
By redesigning the engine's intake along
with larger turbos, delivers 553 lb - ft of torque and 580 horsepower.
It uses two turbochargers - one small device for low in the rev range and one much
larger turbo for the top end.
Higher maximum boost pressure (up from 10.8 psi to 13 psi) and better breathing (thanks to
larger turbo inlets and less restrictive exhaust and catalytic converters) team up with revised engine management to boost both the maximum torque and the speed at which it occurs.
Just
like large turbo snails, the large hermits can be destructive due to their size alone.
With
new larger turbo - chargers, upgraded fuel pump and ignition control, the 3.8 liter twin - turbo V6 is now rated at 600 horsepower and 481 lb - ft of torque.
The extra power is made possible
by larger turbos than those used on the 911 S models.
With two
large turbos doing double duty as mufflers, the engine note is a distant whoosh that varies little with rpm or throttle setting.
But again, tech makes up for anything that is missing: The new S5's 3.0 - liter TFSI V - 6 uses a «hot V» setup that integrates the exhaust manifolds into the heads and mounts a single,
rather large turbo on top of the engine between them.
Porsche is the only automaker using two turbos with variable turbine geometry in a gasoline engine, and the newest Turbo S uses different engine hardware for the first time — in this case,
larger turbo impellers and a modified housing, enabling a higher 7,200 rpm redline.
The engine was only 1.4 liters, but a
relatively large turbo meant between 178 and 345 hp sent to the rear wheels, depending on year and tune.
The 3.8 - liter flat - six is based on the Turbo S. Porsche's GT department
added larger turbos and goosed the...
In the Forester, the 2.0 T generates 250 hp and 258 lb - ft — up 26 hp and 28 lb - ft from the current,
larger turbo engine.
Developed in conjunction with Mitsubishi, this variable - flow turbo combines the best qualities of both small and
large turbo units.
To that the GT department has added a pair
of larger turbos and upped the boost pressure accordingly, there is also a bespoke lightweight titanium exhaust system and revised engine internals to cope with the increased power and torque.
Higher maximum boost pressure (up from 10.8 psi to 13 psi) and better breathing (thanks to
larger turbo inlets and less restrictive exhaust and catalytic converters)
The turbocharged, five - cylinder, 2.5 - litre engine has been given
a larger turbo and larger intercooler, with custom - built pistons, connecting rods and camshaft just for this project.
The unit in question is essentially the same as the one in the mk5 Golf GTI, with
a larger turbo cranking the power up to at least the 261bhp of the VW Scirocco R.
More boost (17.4 psi peak boost from
a larger turbo) and a higher grade of pistons and exhaust valves permit the Golf R engine to develop 296 hp @ 5500 - 6200 rpm and 280 lb - ft of torque @ 1800 — 5500 rpm.
Two years later the 220 Trophy was introduced, sporting more power and torque thanks to
a larger turbo and revised exhaust system, and the lamentable dual - clutch transmission was reworked to deliver 50 per cent faster shifts.
Since the car's been running for years, it likely has a custom tune for the mods (or perhaps just an off - the - shelf tune that comes with the AccessPort, which is better than nothing), especially since the mods are
a large turbo and a larger exhaust.
Over the years, I had my car modified with «chip» (ECU) changes,
larger turbos, larger sequential injectors, headers (even though it was a turbo), port and polish work on the heads, various upgraded intercoolers, larger throttle bodies, and other things.
A new 2.4 L [97] engine was introduced and power increased to 265 PS [98] by use of
a larger turbo and variable valve timing (VVT).
While power from the TT RS sourced 2.5 litre inline five cylinder engine should be at least 350bhp (260kW) with thanks to
a larger turbo.
Hyundai has also fitted
a larger turbo, boosting output to 153bhp and 265lb / ft of torque
Unlike the 2.0 - liter model, this turbo powertrain feels torquey and satisfying like
a larger turbo - diesel as you roll into the throttle.
Still a twin - turbo, the inline four in the E250 features one small turbocharger that aids response off the line and helps bolster
the larger turbo, which takes over at higher engine speeds.
The two share the same V - 8, though the M5's will have more power thanks to
larger turbos and a higher - flow fuel injection system, among other upgrades.
A larger turbo and larger intercooler were installed, and the exhaust system has been modified.
The increase of power in the roadster version is attributed to the use of 4
larger turbos with new intercoolers.
The series sequential turbocharging system, involving two differently sized turbochargers, effectively provides a small turbocharger for low air flow requirements and
a large turbo for high air flow.
As the engine speed increases,
the larger turbo takes over to create boost on its own.
It has
a larger turbo than the Golf GTI and a different intake manifold along with tweaked fuelling help it attain its more muscular output.
That includes
a larger turbo, pistons made of a new aluminum alloy, which boosts its horsepower from 550 to 570.
Because it doesn't have to do as much work at the low end of the rev range, the developers were able to use
a large turbo and design it for high efficiency.
Apparently the chase for more power is on and
a larger turbo is under consideration.
