Volvo recommends premium, but it can run on regular just fine without affecting the life of the engine. In turbo models, the ECU dials back the turbo if you feed it regular, so performance will decrease, but the engine will run just fine.
Yes, The turbo is just a booster but the engine makes a car run.
if the engine is not designed to run turbos it can do a lot of damage. a turbo engine has hardened internals
The Hennessey Viper Venom 1000 Twin Turbo is the car that has the new and improved Turbo engine. The Hennessey Viper is of higher quality than the regular Dodge Viper.
if it's a turbo engine you should only use synthetic oil only!! if it's a non-turbo engine a conven. oil will do.
Yes!
Yes, such kits do exist but there is alot to consider. There are several things you have to know about your engine before you buy a turbo. Check and see what engine size and model your car has, and then look up to see if turbo kits exist in that engine size. If you install yourself, make sure you don't overboost your engine and blow it.
no lol what a stupid idea
An engine designed to run with leaded gas should not run on other than leaded gas. There are however some substitutes for lead that some gas stations sell.. Lead work so that it lubricates the engine and valves. No lead would over time make damage. A turbo engine might be designed for high octane fuel. If lead or no lead is not an issue, then the engine would/should simply perform a bit lower than normal/optimal.
A turbo timer lets some oil run through the turbo after hard use. You can accomplish the same thing by letting the engine run a minute before you cut the ignition.
A turbo will increase your gas mileage, yes. It does not run off power from the engine, it runs off the exhaust system to boost engine power. Your engine has to work less for the same power.
How do you blow a engine turbo.
