@@sir167 whilst you're on it, why not do an extra episode talk about synthetic fuels & hydrogen in ICE? Cause if you ask me, the problem was never with the ICE, it was with the fuel that they run on, the cleaner the fuel, the less crap out the back. And yet people just wants to jump to conclusions and ICE ended up taking the blame for something that's really not it's fault IMO. Sooner / later they will realise they've jumped to the WRONG conclusion
Diesel cars are more popular in Europe. The diesel engine with twin turbo in my BMW 640d Gran Coupe produces 313hp and 630Nm. It is as quick as 640i and has higher mile per gallon.
in the olden days, the diesel engine was more reliable because of the lack of spark plug meaning it's less prone to electrical problems leading to break downs from the engine department, but nowadays with all these emission control equipments fitted to diesel engines, they turned the tide and made the petrol engine more reliable because the fuel is cleaner and therefore needing less of that emission control bollocks

龍SIR請問:會唔會講一期關於美國大C數嘅LSV8引擎?

Small block 90度V8是很有代表性的美國文化,我們在 Lancia Thema那段片講過一點相類似的設計,但那是偏向歐洲的高轉作風。有機會詳細談一下這兩個不同派別的V8
They are both Force Induction Methods Traditionally, the supercharger, driven by the crank of an engine forces more air in at low revs & improves the torque low down on the rev range, but then once the revs got up to speed not only it doesn't help much, it actually starts sapping power, they call it parasitic loss. The Turbocharger on the other hand recycles exhaust gases to spin up the turbine wheel which is on the same axle as the compressor wheel which forces more air in at higher revs, this improves the power at higher rev range, but because you need enough exhaust gases to make the turbine start spinning, at low-very low revs you'd get Turbo Lag. This was why VW made the 1.4TSI all those years ago with supercharger starting the Force Induction work at low revs then the turbo takes over after certain revs, in theory giving you best of both worlds. Over the years with vast improvements to Turbo engines thanks to Saab, Porsche etc. with technology such as low pressure turbo, variable geometry, intake, twin-scrolling, electric...etc...a lot of work has been done to make that turbine wheel spin up to full speed as soon as they can make it, which makes most turbo engined cars these days have a lot of torque at low revs, with a max torque range farther & wider than before. However, that doesn't means Turbo Lag has been totally eradicated, it still exist in many >1.5L engines with manual gearboxes. The worst offender for me is the Ford's 1L Ecoboost. Try accelerate from 80-110 km/h as quick as possible in top gear and you start to wonder do you have to go all the way back down to 2nd because you'll get nothing in 6th, 5th, 4th, even 3rd!
Assuming they are both manuals, nowadays you can have a Porsche 911/Aston Martin Vantage with a 7 speed manual, even though the 7th is more or less just a cruising gear. Where as a typical Volvo FH, Scania R/S, Merc Actros...etc would have a 12 speed automated manual. They need to be automated otherwise you not only have a clutch to worry about but also range & splitter when changing gears!

我想問龍sir一樣野 點解8 90年代日本貨車會出現NA 25升v10柴油引擎咁痴線既組合 而同期既歐洲車已經開始用turbo 係關排放問題嗎? Ps. 龍sir你去教書應該年中冇咁多人肥佬 不過再深入講壓縮比應該要講ideal gas law了
