QUOTE(Nomisma @ Nov 15 2020, 08:54 AM) electric will make all these x50/x70 obsolete.. Malaysia, at least Sarawak have another option: Hydrogen. They have absolutely MASSIVE amount of hydrogen potential cheaper than almost anyone on earth.eletric car norm is coming in next 10 years.  |

QUOTE(Nomisma @ Nov 15 2020, 09:18 AM) which is why the 10 years gap. remember how android phones was 10 years ago? compared to it's norm today? Sarawak starting to have hybrid station. Petrol. Hydrogen. Electric.china nowadays already produce electric cars with very close competition to tesla. soon, Geely will mass produce them too & be exported to our country. japanis cars still playing catch up.. toyota going the hydrogen route.. the infras will eventually come when petrol stations are losing customer to electic cars. petrol stations will have to be phased out / revolutionized to be electic car charger too. Sarawak have massive hydrogen potential. |

Turbo charger merely forces more air/oxygen into the combustion chamber to create more complete fuel combustion, aka, increase fuel efficiency. Increased fuel efficiency equates to more power.
The other alternative, if you want the same power, is to have a bigger engine. Bigger engine, even more fuel used than a turbo charged engine of similar power output. |

QUOTE(dares @ Nov 15 2020, 03:41 PM) Turbo is for expensive cars that owners don't care about fuel economy Obviously, those small turbo made for economy cars are not the same as big turbos/twinturbos/biturbos/quadturbos you find on luxury cars. Many people wanted more power and turbocharging is a CHEAPER ways to get those extra power. Ever wondered why there are so many turbo charged diesel pickup in Malaysia? |

QUOTE(dares @ Nov 16 2020, 09:01 AM) Read carefully, the bolded part is what the other ktards said, the unbolded part is my reply to those allegations. Basically I am in agreement with you. Yes, there are people who know nothing about turbocharging and talk nonsense. I think with turbocharging, you uses 10% more fuel but get 20+% more power. I don't have the exact figures. |
