← TechnologyWhich risk increases when turbocharged engine exhaust backpressure exceeds design limits?
A)Premature turbine shaft bearing failure✓
B)Excessive cylinder head valve float
C)Catalytic converter substrate melting
D)Fuel injector nozzle carbonization
💡 Explanation
When exhaust backpressure increases excessively, higher stress acts on the turbine shaft bearings because hot gases are restricted, leading to thermal and mechanical overload. Therefore bearing failure is most likely, rather than valve float, converter melting, or injector carbonization each requiring other unrelated mechanisms.
