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.

The same power at the same AFR can be COMPLETELY different.

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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
