DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE AND TURBOCHARGED ENGINE

 Turbocharged Engines are not something new but the use of these engines in budget cars is a new trend.

Turbocharging simply increases the power output without significantly increasing the engine's weight.

Now comes the most frequently asked question "Is a turbocharged engine better than a naturally aspirated engine?"

Maintenance & Reliability

A Turbocharged Engine is a lot more complex machinery when compared to the Naturally Aspirated Engines.

Being a complex machine it is made up of more number parts so more parts mean more chances of wear and tear.

This means maintaining a naturally aspirated engine is easier and cost effective.

Power & Torque

This is where a Turbocharged Engine beats a naturally aspirated engine.

A smaller sized engine still producing more power thanks to the Turbo attached making it more powerful.

But the problem with Turbocharged engines is the low end turbo lag because in these engines you need to wait for the turbo to kick in. This delay in release of power makes their performance dull in city use. Once the turbo kicks in you will see a spurt of power.  

Fuel Efficiency

In most cases a smaller sized engine will burn lesser fuel compared to a bigger sized engine.

Turbo Charged engines being smaller in size use less fuel making them more fuel efficient than the Naturally Aspirated Engines.
