Doesn't a turbo effectively increase the engine discplacement?

[Mr. Tasty]

can't tell if OP is really stupid, or just trollin'

[nrubenstein]

If the amount of air moved changes your view of the displacement of an engine, then it would be equally valid to argue that cams change the displacement. It's best not to go down that route. It's not really descriptive or meaningful. FI is just a way of cramming more air in.

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

I summon the wankel arguement. Bring forth the rotary!

Oh shiiii! Can-o-worms, OPEN SESAME!

im not gonna lie, i love a good b*saint thread. and this one delivered.

the answer is really yes and no. no displacement stays the same, but yes you do suck in more air. more air means more fuel mans bigger bang. so you wont displace as much as a V8, but you probably suck just as hard ;)

[atmobenzin]

Doesn't the rule of same amount of air but smaller volume mean increase in pressure?

Yes

So if you're turbo is forcing in what a v8 would naturally be sucking in, you can say your displacement is the same (in a perfect world.)

No, you retard. No.

How old are you anyway?

WTF SRSLY!?

COME ON?!

WTF

I have read some retarded shit on r3v, I wouldn`t be surprised to read some shit like this on autoblog and other useless sites, but srsly?

Does 'b*' stand for butthurt little bitch?

Yup

[Exodus_2pt0]

You know the old saying "There's no replacement for displacement."?

Well.... The replacement for displacement, is forced induction.

It doesn't increase displacement, but it might as well.

so you agree you're wrong?
/thread

No I agree you suck at reading.

[devon.818]

Obviously physically it doesn't add displacement.

so you agree you're wrong?

[e30moneypit]

you are thinking superchargers because they are often expressed in terms of capacity in liters..... and the rest is too difficult to explain .. search!

Ok I found my answer on another forum because I was talking about EFFECTIVE displacement, not actual.

Thanks anyways for your input even though it wasn't helpful.
