Doesn't a turbo effectively increase the engine discplacement?

These are the threads that made me want to join R3V.

op does't like the answer here, goes to e30 tech to ask and gets the answer he wants..............WTF?

everyday this place just gets better and better!

displacement
4. The volume displaced by a single stroke of a piston in an engine or pump.

Volume
5. the amount of space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies.

It dose not matter if the air going in is compressed, It is still moving the same amount of volume. Forced induction only increases the mass of the air giving you the same performance of a engine with a bigger displacement.

As mentioned before FI gives you better VE not ci.

I think you guys are missing the TRUE argument here:

i still think it would take off if the jets were routed to little turbines that made the wheels spin

oh oh oh hey guys ive designed on a napkin a lag free turbo. it's fast!

Why turbos guys?!!! seriously

here's another concept you should explore. you don't need turbos to do the turbo's job. just bypass it by putting the exhaust directly into the intake!




Very Tall Engine Cooling, also referred to as "VTEC", also increases engine displacement by your new interpretation of displacement ie. swept volume.

The VE is too damn high!

[Kershaw]

what about over 9000 VE?

[andrewm]

The concept of VE (Volumetric Efficiency) is pretty complex, but it never changes displacement. However, you can obtain over 100% VE...

[Kershaw]

you mean to say the 335 does not have a 3.5 liter engine?

And for the record, I hate the way that BMW has decoupled the model numbers from displacement.

^this huge pet peeve
