Now, my concern is that, 1.will it be really helpful? 2.How much power loss i have to consider? 3.What is the point i should keep in mi -- more --

          Diesel or Petrol ???

          Diesel – Consider FIAT Linea multijet / Skoda Rapid
          Petrol – Honda City i-VTEC / FIAT Linea T-Jet

          Fiat linea n honda city.. its always better to test drive and find the on road price for your city n then decide. I personally would go for the linea. Also consider ecosport if possible.

          If petrol, then pick the Honda… Amaze petrol is equipped with 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine which is being used by the brio, it offers good level of perfrmance & fuel-efficiency… Regards :)

          Its called brake horsepower because of the experiment setup used to measure it. Its called the prony brake mechanism. An engine running at a particular rpm is make to stop by applying brake on it(a rope actuated drum brake is used). The braking force is calculated. This force is equal to the power being produced by the engine at that rpm. Hence the name.

          Both are blowers that pump extra air into the engine. A supercharger is powered by the engine directly through the fan belt. You get boost from the word go but this is extra mechanical load on the engine, just like the AC. And unlike the AC, this cannot be switched off. A turbo is more like a windmill, powered by the exhaust coming out of the…[Read more]

          The key difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is its power supply. In a supercharger, there is a belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does. A turbocharger, on the other hand, gets its power from the exhaust stream. The exhaust runs through a turbine, which in…[Read more]

          Remember the old Merc petrols with the “Kompressor” monicker? Those were supercharged engines. Superchargers are going out of fashion these days. Nobody is willing to compromise economy even 1%, and and happy living with turbo lag.

          Its not compulsory. The old Indica and Sumo never had a turbo. Neither did the old diesel Zen or Esteem or Accent. But modern diesel cars in their quest to match the power figures of petrol engines almost always have a turbocharger
