Oct 8, 2024 · It’s probably cheaper and definitely easier to sell the current 5008 with the normally aspirated 1.6L engine and buy one with the 1.6L turbo since both engines were available for the 5008 according to the link below. You will lose the fun factor of making the conversion though. BTW, I also think you will need a different ECU to manage the 5FV.
May 9, 2013 · The Chevy Cruze LT comes with the 1.4L turbocharged engine, and has combined mileage of 30 MPG. The LS has the 1.8L without turbo and the combnined mileage is 27 MPG. The LT1 is about $1300 more than the LS, and you get more than just the turbo engine. But you still have to pay the $1300 to get it. UncleTurbo May 9, 2013, 5:29am 6.
May 29, 2019 · Scrapyard-John May 29, 2019, 2:10am 6. I considered tuning a non turbo engine myself, but have just about talked myself out of it. The only way they can increase performance on a naturally aspirated engine is to turn the timing up. Which will require higher octane fuel to be used.
May 2, 2008 · The initial oil analysis work peope have been posting would suggest that these motors are brutal on oil and can run super hot. They consume no or less than a natural aspirated engine. I own two turbo Subaru’s (WRX & Legacy GT) and have 0-0.5QT consumption over 4000 miles. Some consumption is normal on vehicles whether turbo or not.

Later they added various safety options such as automatic braking etc. Negative reviews on Edmunds appears that people wanting to give up on Honda. The attraction is 40mpg on freeway without a battery. When a rented a Honda, it saved me from rear ending as I fall asleep approaching a traffic signal after a red eye flight.

Jul 1, 2013 · Re: Q #2, in addition to the reality that turbo repairs are rarely cheap, the OP has to consider the likelihood that this car has been driven to the max (as a result of the turbo), so the main bearings, piston rings, and…God only knows…what other parts have been beaten into submission over several decades. (Translation=This car should not be considered to be a daily driver or your only ...
Aug 1, 2023 · Hi there - have a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium (78k miles). In past month noticed car would struggle holding the highest gear on high speed highway driving in cruise control as well as general slow acceleration. The RPM would lurch to get to 75 MPH and then fall back down to 72/3 MPH before revving to high RPM’s to get to that cruising speed. Anyways, check engine came on this week and had it ...
Feb 9, 2010 · The main reason you’d want to idle the car after driving it is to cool the turbo down. After hard use- extended periods “on boost” like racing- can raise the temp of the turbo to over 1000 degrees, so turning the engine off w/o letting the coolant and oil circulate through and cool it off can lead to cooking the bearings and oil.
Mar 11, 2018 · The 2017 is faster 5-60, 30-50, and 50-70 and only 1/10th of a second slower in the 1/4 mile. The 2018 adds a more complex 10 speed transmission and, of course, the turbo. Car and Driver’s tests show identical fuel mileage (Fuelly is great, but only when the sample size is sufficient.
