     turbocharging modern
     A  A AA  A engines
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A in modern sports
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A cars.AAA  A FWIW.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  Full
     disclosure:AAA  complete
     A  A article is Rare
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Forced Air on
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A page 27-28 in the Feb 2015 Road&Track by Jason
     Cammisa.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  A These are my
     selected
     A  A highlights from that
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A article.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Complete disclosure: I am not a fan of
     turbos.AAA  I prefer
     A  A normally
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A aspirated engines for a number of reasons and
     this article
     A  A supports
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A my
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A opinion.AAA  While the new Ford GT has a twin
     turbo Ecotec
     A  A V-6, I
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A would
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A prefer it to have a normally aspirated Coyote or
     the new
     A  A flat crank
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A V8.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A A From Jason Cammisa:
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A aWe donat like the turbo,a said theAAA  man with
     an Italian
     A  A accent,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A abut it
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A is the right way to reduce emissions without
     sacrificing
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A performance.a
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A A rare moment of honesty, then a graceful
     slingshot into the
     A  A same
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A turbo
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A spin weave heard from all corners of the globe.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A The fact is, every car company is being forced
     into forced
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A induction,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A for the exact reasons our Italian friend
     gave.AAA  Since
     A  A neither he
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A nor the
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A company he works for, Ferrari, can come out and
     say it, I
     A  A will:
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Turbos
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A arenat the best solution, especially for
     high-performance
     A  A cars, and
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A they
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A donat always provide the benefits that carmakers
     claim they
     A  A do.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Turbos, which are powered by exhaust energy that
     is
     A  A otherwise
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A wasted,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A increase engine output by forcing extra air into
     the
     A  A cylinders,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A prompting the fuel injectors to provide more fuel
     for
     A  A combustion.A
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A More
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A combustion, alas, means more heat.AAA  To keep
     the engine
     A  A from
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A overheating,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A turbo engines inject excess gas under boost.AAA
     It seems
     A  A counter
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A intuitive, but this arich mixturea cools down
     combustion and
     A  A AA  A reduces
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A exhaust temperatures.AAA  It is also a double
     whammy fuel
     A  A economy
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A killer,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A because burning that extra fuel doesnat help the
     engine make
     A  A more
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A power,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A it actually reduces output.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A a|.out in the real world, riding that big,
     effortless wave
     A  A of
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A boosted
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A midrange torque means burning extra fuelaand
     creating even
     A  A more
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A CO2.AAA  So
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A much for reducing emissions.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Performance, in this sense, refers solely to
     A  A acceleration.AAA  The
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Ferrari
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A California Tas turbo 3.9 liter 553 hp V8 easily
     outmuscles
     A  A the old
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Californiaas naturally aspirated 4.3 liter 483 hp
     v8.AA
     A  A Mission
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A accomplished.AAA  Except thereas more to an
     engineas behavior
     A  A than
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A going
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A fast in a straight line.AAA  The way the engine
     generates
     A  A power aits
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A personality, if you will---is just as important
     as the
     A  A numbers.AAA  A
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A For
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A the entire history of the marque, Ferrarias
     engines have
     A  A delivered
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A urgency and drama in lockstep with revs, creating
     a festival
     A  A of
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A sound
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A and fury as they raced toward a redline.AAA
     Ferrari engines
     A  A love to
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A rev,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A which is one of the main reasons we love
     Ferraris.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Once thereas a turbo impeller muffling the
     screaming glory
     A  A of that
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A prancing horse, youare talking about an entirely
     different
     A  A animal.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Engines with turbos big enough to provide boost
     throughout
     A  A the
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A operating
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A range produce peak torque at low revs and then
     gradually run
     A  A out of
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A steam, like turbodiesels do.AAA  To combat that,
     A  A gas-powertrain
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A engineers
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A artificially create broad torque plateaus by
     limiting boost
     A  A at
     A  A AA  A lower
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A engine speeds.AAA  That electronic trickery helps
     the engine
     A  A more
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A closely
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A emulate a naturally aspirated one, but even that
     isnat
     A  A enough for
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Ferrari.AAA  The California Tas computer also
     looks at gear
     A  A position
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A and
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A limits max boost in lower gears to encourage its
     driver to
     A  A revel in
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A the
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A gears.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Turbo lag.AAA  Ferrari claims the Californiaas
     new turbo
     A  A engine has
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A azero
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A turbo laga and ainstantaneous response,a then
     defines
     A  A response time
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A as,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A aless than one second.a Really?AAA  In a car that
     can hit 60
     A  A mph in
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A three
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A seconds, one second, is anything but
     instantaneous.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Immediate, predictable response is a requirement
     in any
     A  A driveras
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A car.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Naturally aspirated engines react without delay
     to throttle
     A  A inputs,
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A but
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A a turbo engine is vastly more complicated.AAA  It
     has two
     A  A torque
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A curvesaone
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A when it is off boost and one when it is at full
     puff.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A A naturally aspirated engineas output is
     determined by the
     A  A position
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A of
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A the pedal and the engine speed, period.AAA
     Turbos change
     A  A that into a
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A complicated matrix with far too many variables
     for a driver
     A  A to keep
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A track of.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A Modern Ferraris do what you ask, when you ask,
     how you
     A  A ask.AAA  They
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A are
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A pretty much perfect.AAA  Although their forth
     coming
     A  A turbocharged
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A replacements will almost certainly be faster, I
     fear they
     A  A will be
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A undriveable without assistance from an onboard
     A  A supercomputer.
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A It as sad that the marquee feels compelled by
     government
     A  A policy to
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A bolt
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A turbos on to their lovely engines, when it wonat
     make a whit
     A  A of
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A difference to air quality.AAA  A And it is doubly
     sad that we
     A  A all
     A  A AA  A know
     A  A AA  AA  AA  A it
     A  A AA  AA  A will change the way Ferraris drive.a
     A  A AA  AA  A AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA  AAA
     AAA  AAA  A Warmest
     A  A regards,AAA  Chuck Engles
