Turbo or atmospheric engine: which is better to choose

SSP has prepared a comparison of a turbo engine and an atmospheric engine, highlighting their distinctive features. We will consider them in terms of fuel efficiency, power, price, and reliability.

Fuel efficiency

The turbo engine has excellent fuel efficiency thanks to forced induction, which ensures better fuel combustion and an optimized air-to-fuel ratio.

Power

The turbo engine outperforms the atmospheric engine in terms of power output. Its forced induction system compresses the air, resulting in improved fuel combustion and increased power output.

Response and acceleration

Turbo engines deliver impressive throttle response and acceleration thanks to the forced induction system, leaving the naturally aspirated engine far behind.

Price.

An atmospheric engine is a more cost-effective option compared to a turbo engine due to its simpler design, which reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs.

Reliability

Both engines demonstrate reliability, with the atmospheric engine benefiting from its simple design, while modern turbo engines have made significant strides in improving durability.
