No, that’s a lower value. A standard turbo goes up to about 0.8 bar. After that, some effort is necessary and not good for the longevity of a motor.

0.4Bar is more a pressure to make the motor more durable.

With 0.4 bar you can also operate a series engine without problems with a turbocharger. With over 0.8 bar, the engine must be designed for a turbo. Then some reinforced parts are installed and the cooling must fit. The pistons and connecting rods are very stressed.

A turbo doesn’t like it when you pull it up with a cold engine. Turbos spin with over 100000 tours. It is important that the bearings are always well lubricated. Cold oil has a higher viscosity and therefore cannot melt well at all points. In addition, a turbo must not be blown up shortly before the engine is switched off. The blades need something to get to the stand from the high speed. Without a motor, however, the oil supply breaks off. This can damage a turbo.

In the case of a warm engine, a hose from the stand is not harmful.

That’s what we’re here for. To create more power.

You’re on the right track.

Are 0.4 bar actually much for such a 1.4 engine?

No, that’s very moderate. Even a liter capacity of 72 hp is not exaggerated. You don’t have to build up the most expensive materials in the engine, which then of course costs.

The loader is actually only there to bring the 200NM in the low speed range,

Right, which contributes especially in urban transport to the charitable saving.

You can’t overstrap my engine with the 0.4 bar, can you?

No, valves and bearings should last long.

Sure, with more powerful cars, the loader is good and likes to get 1.5 bar in, which I think is a lot.

That’s right. For example, the Audi 2.5 TSFI has a charging pressure of 1.5 bar (400 hp) and the AMG 2.0 liter turbo (M139) even has 2.1 bar charging pressure and brings over 420 hp. Take a look at what they cost.

Can you say the more pressure the more the engine gets loaded and are my 0.4 bar then peanuts?

Yeah, you can say that.

Even when driving warm, for example, you should be aware that the first few kilometers do not require too much turbo.

Right.

No, he’s important in the complete power range so that the engine gets enough air. 0.4bar charging pressure means that you have 40% more air in the engine, so also 40% more oxygen, which means that you can burn about 40% more fuel per ignition.

Can you say the more pressure the more the engine gets loaded and are my 0.4 bar then peanuts?

The load is, of course, higher because more fuel is injected and thus also more combustion pressure is produced, but the engine is designed for this purpose

Nö… quite normal charge pressure to keep the motor durable…

Fully correct charging pressure. 👍 Come to Spain!
