We can produce both powers at the same rev by adjusting the throttle plate.

Timing would be correct for the application at both loads.

If the AFR is the same fuel usage will be double.

However, I do believe I was caught up in the moment and using the word "exactly" may not bet totally correct.

There are many factors that come in to play like the difference in barometric pressure, air and fuel temp from the 2 events being 100hp and 200hp.

If measurable there would have to be some sort of variation.

The real concern is why your turbo is kicking out? I would be upset if my 3037 was doing that

More revs means more inefficiencies due to friction in all the moving parts, different revs mean different intake speeds due to the cam (which is why torque changes and isn't always the same) on boost, off boost changes things as well. The same power at the same AFR can be COMPLETELY different.

Torque changes through the rev range due to changing Volumetric Efficiency.

i dont get whats so "lol", you do realise that its a street turbo usually you dont go over 5000rpm, i can deal with the 500rpm unlike having a lot of lag.

A street turbo that comes on @ 4500rpm - when you don't go over 5000rpm?

500rpm band... awesome.

Let's not forget more RPM when connected to a gear = more vehicle speed = more resistance = greater load on the engine to maintain that speed...will change with inclines and declines of road surface too. Way too many variables!

Lol. On drugs much? Who says you don't usually go over 5k in a street turbo car. Especially wierd when we're talking about RB engines where you can scream to well over 5k in less than a second in 1st and 2nd....and usually do so.

I do believe i said the same revs for different power.

You should actually read my post before replying.

im running a GTX3076r soon so i dont really care i never take it on track so below 5000rpm is good enough beside if i tune that badboy properly i can achieve about 480hp which is very decent for a street car. Another mans eat is another mans poison.

What uses completely more fuel.

An Ls1 5.7 NA at 12.5:1 making 370rwhp

Or a CA18 turbo at 12.5:1 making 370rwhp?

Now we are talking massive measurable differences here so the answer should be very clear.

I have no idea, would come down to many factors... valve train friction, the v8 has more valves, pushrods, but each piston is lighter, the turbo car has higher VE but less cylinders.... Id flip a coin imo.

Probably go the LS1 because of more conservative cam profiles/emissions laws when the motor came out.

Edited by Rolls

but the LS1 has more volume, and needs less load per liter to create the the same power.

In a perfect world would have a smaller throttle opening but generate the same power.

So you can tell me, on the same engine creating 2 different power out puts that fuel requirements per horsepower are COMPLETELY different

But you cant tell me that with 2 completely different engines, creating the same horsepower your not to sure what one would use more fuel?

I'm not sure if this is a serious question? How on earth am I meant to know the different efficiencies of the two engines? It involves hundreds of things! All I said is it would be different...

Its not a serious question, Its a trick question. Its also a demonstration to show that statements like the above shouldn't be posted unless you know exactly what you are talking about.

Both engines use the similar fuel. most would say the same fuel. both do it in COMPLETELY different ways.....

But both use very similar fuel quantities.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
