What does "t" mean in front of a car?

The number before "t" refers to the engine's capacity, while "t" stands for "turbo", which is the abbreviation for "turbine". If there is a letter "t" in the tail, it means that the car uses a turbocharged engine. Turbocharged technology has been widely used in both gasoline and diesel engines in cars.

Turbocharged technology can increase the engine's intake without increasing the capacity, which in turn increases the fuel injection to improve the engine's power.

The principle of turbocharged technology is relatively simple. Turbocharged engines have two parts: a compressor and a turbine. The compressor is connected to the intake duct, while the turbine is connected to the exhaust duct.

When the engine reaches a certain speed, the exhaust has enough energy to drive the exhaust turbine, and the compressor also starts to rotate.

The rotation of the compressor can compress the air and send it to the engine's air intake, increasing the intake volume.

Turbocharged technology is a kind of forced intake technology.

There is another type of boosting technology in cars, called mechanical boosting.

The working principle of mechanical boosting is different from that of turbocharging.

Mechanical boosting is driven by the engine's crankshaft.

What is the difference between mechanical boosting and turbocharging?

Mechanical boosting and turbocharging have different working principles.

Mechanical boosting is driven by the engine's crankshaft, while turbocharging is powered by the exhaust.

In summary, the "t" before a car's engine indicates the use of a turbocharged engine, which uses a compressor and a turbine to increase the engine's intake and improve its power.
