Let's say we have 2 engines of the same model from a manufacture, same size and HP rating (let's say 2.3L with 160hp)
One is turbocharged the other is Normally Aspirated It seems that under normal driving conditions (just cruising on the highway) the turbocharged engine would be better since it does not have to have as aggressive camshafts or compression as the N/A motor at WOT, both should be sucking down the same amount of fuel...or possibly the turbo would be using more fuel to enrichen the mixture since a lean condition would be more fatal???? |
