Turbo Charged?

[Guest Anlok]

Is C180K turbo charged? Some say yes while others says no...:confused:

C180K refers to the Kompressor variant of the W204. It is supercharged and provides good low end torque.

C180 CGI is the turbo charged version and requires the turbo to spool to an appropriate power band before you experience the "kick back" into your seat. As such, there is a brief moment of "turbo lag" when traversing the gears (up or down).

What is supercharged? And I don't really feel the low end torque cos pick up is lousy. In fact at about 80km, the power feel comes in.

both supercharged and turbocharged are what engineer call "force induction" or "compression" of air into the engine to give a better mixture of air and fuel as compared to normal air pressure in a natural aspirated "NA" engine.

the only difference is that supercharger runs on a belt from the crank shaft to spin the turbine whereas the turbocharger uses exhaust gas to spin the turbine.

The 1.6 is under power ride. Get a set of sprint booster instead but expect F/C to increase.

Very simple: The C180K BE is a 1.6L kompressor. The C180CGI BE is a 1.8L turbo.

Confirm the 1.6L is underpowered to lug the heavy body around regardless whether supercharged or not. The paper figures dun tell the full story between a komp & CGI. Drive both and the difference is apparent.

i wonder has anyone here really put the 2 stocks cars onto dyno and try it out.

side track abit, i remember when nissan gtr first came out, 3 stock cars went in to dyno and all 3 came out with different results...

Not trying to be a expert here, tested both models and is confirm that the CGI is a better car.

At 80km, that is about 2000 to 2500 rpm. That is the zone where the max torque max starts to kick in for our C180k. The CGI feels more spritely as the max torque kick in at about 1500 rpm, almost near idling.

Did a sprint today from about 50km/h up to 120km/h. Nice and elastic acceleration.

Wonder if the tuning from OBD will do the job for the sluggish start.
