To be fair, it's way cheaper to extract more power from turbocharged engine than it is from NA.

Even hybrid turbochargers cheap compared to turbo/supercharging NA engine.

Since I was born in 1951 I have seen a number of trends in automobile engines over the years. Turbochargers and Superchargers have been around a number of years, however in past years most car engines were naturally aspirated. Turbochargers were found primarily on expensive high performance cars. Now because automobile manufacturers are trying to get higher fuel mileage and still have plenty of power we are now seeing a lot of four cylinder engines with turbochargers. As an example the car I drive is a 2011 BMW 328i. This car has a 3 liter 6 cylinder engine that is naturally aspirated. The BMW 3 series cars that came after this model now use a 2 liter 4 cylinder engine that is turbocharged.

As a fellow ME ( PhD in 85) who has built 5 turbo installations from scratch I will generally say your videos are pretty good. & granted pressures are higher as you said but you forgot one big fact. Gas runs by burning ( unless detonating) & diesels run by explosion. Big difference with regards to shock loading the engine components!

[@fishgeralding9224]

@@nthgth a gas engine uses spark, at a specific moment, to ignite the charge. If the initial compression ratio is too high, it ignites the charge due to the heat created by compression, too soon. This results in the charge detonating before the piston reaches top dead center where it's supposed to fire. Therefore you have pressure trying to push the piston down, on it's way up. This, at the least results in "spark knock". At the worst, it "hand grenades" the engine. A diesel engine relies on compression detonation, through compression, to fire ,or detonate the charge. That's why a diesel can handle boost at much higher compression ratios.

Naturally aspirated engines are good if they have enough displacement (V8 or more), but for the regular low displacement engines, well they are really bad. No torque no power, you have to rev it to the infinity and then some just to obtain a mediocre performance. And about the sound, you obviously haven’t heard the Pagani Huayra. And about waiting for the torque to come up from turbos, on the naturally aspirated engine you have to wait until it comes to the top rpms to get some and in most of the times it comes out with power boost too and then you have both to manage it’s like the turbo engine of the old. About the efficiency I’ll give you that one because you are correct when you talk about petrol engines but when you build a Diesel engine with the turbo in mind then you get a pretty nice result. Just to make a case I drive a small turbocharged diesel engine car with only 1.6 l displacement and only 120 hp of power and 300 Nm of torque and in a car that weighs 1400 kg(do your own conversions).

It depends where the air related sensors are in the car

[@sethschober4596]

Excellent video, gotta love the immediate throttle response of a good NA v8. Around 7:10 I think you may have a misunderstanding though. I don’t think the lower Static Compression Ratio (total volume at BDC vs total volume at TDC) manufacturers quote for turbo engines will actually hurt combustion efficiency. The reason being, the engine sees total, or Dynamic Compression Ratio (air density immediately before combustion vs atmospheric air density). Even though turbo engines tend to use lower SCRs (e.g., 9:1 instead of 11:1), the air has already been compressed by the turbo before it enters the combustion chamber. I think that would make up the difference. After all, the final pressure and chamber surface temperature right before the spark ignites is your limiting factor for a given octane fuel. In fact, using an intercooler will effectively compress the air further, enabling you to even get a higher DCR with a turbo engine than an NA engine. However, most of what I’ve just said goes out the window if a manufacturer’s tuning program cuts boost at low load to improve fuel economy.

[@joopie99aa]

I think thermal efficiency is mostly a function of the compression ratio (or decompression) during the power stroke. For ideal efficiency, you want the air in the cylinder to be at ambient temperature and pressure at the end of the power stroke. Any additional pressure and temperature is dumped through the exhaust and wasted (a turbo recovers some of that energy for powering forced induction, but that isn't power to the wheels). This is the idea behind the Atkinson cycle: a larger ratio is used during the expansion stroke than during the compression stroke, allowing the air in the cylinder to come closer to ambient pressures and temperatures, leading to greater efficiency. Forced induction and the resulting lower compression ratios do the opposite: the pressure and temperature at the end of the power stroke are increased, so there is more wasted energy, so lower thermal efficiency.

I'd like more i6's available

[@adamc8409]

I always prefered na engines with my builds. I prefer less fail points when it can be avoided.

[@holycrapchris]

Fewer... :-)

[@Addison0526]

But an NA engines in and of itself is a fail 😂 jp

Adam c for the same engine size an torque, turbos are vastly more reliable then a highly strung na. All commercial vehicles and heavy machinery are turbo for a reason. Turbo trucks typically go 1M kms between rebuilds. SC is much harder on engines.

In Europe we like small engines with turbos,and they are fine as long as you service the car, my last small turbo engine had 160000,and was still strong.
