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.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
