Small suggestion, but instead of having the 2 turbo engines with huge turbos, maybe have 2 of the same engine (eg 2x SR20 or 2x rb26) - one with a large turbo like you talked about in the video, and one with a more modest turbo.

Thank you! Really interesting and well compared 😃

Very good 101 on the importance of tailoring the torque/power curve of the engine build for the application it would be used for - and I particularly liked the addressing of the gearbox gearing. Many years ago, a friend built his car with a 'race' camshaft which had a rather narrow 'power band', but couldn't afford the rather expensive close ratio gearbox it needed. In practice, it was pretty quick, for the day, in the first three gears as the engine still produced sufficient torque to pull the next gear, but it didn't have torque when going into 4th to overcome the drag forces as it was to far down the curve - the car would actually slow down. If he was on a down-hill, gravity gave enough assistance, though, and as long as he kept the speed up, and the engine in it's power band, he could use 4th effectively.

Great explanation 👌

Nice and tight presentation, very useful

EXCELLENT video.

I was disappointed with this video, it was super basic for the engine noob basically. Would you ever do a video talking about what it takes to make a almost flat torque curve? You could use an na LS v8 no vvt and maybe with vvt, and a turbo also. The turbo could have ecu controlled wastegate and run more boost in certain parts of the curve than others, though the response time to boost changes would be a factor. I am also curious on a typical stock ls cam with low lift vs an aftermarket solid roller cam with quicker ramp, more lift, and same duration. Love the channel guys.

I've tried explaining this too many times to my friends, the curve is way more important than the final number.

great video! any plans for a video on reading compressor maps?

Im finally glad there is a video to give the big understanding of under the curve, i can refer all the friends with no real idea and others who think peak power is everything... that big giant turbo is by far not the best choice..

Great reference video. I'd love to see it also talk a bit more about that relation, together with gear ratios. I ride motorbikes mostly and find that the discussions there often miss very important points on gearing and power. Usually people complaining about bikes like the KLR650 as "needing" 6 speeds, when the bike has a wide enough power / torque band that it can do without that extra gear. I have mostly operated torquey vehicles and learned a ton from my experiences on the few peak-y race spec bikes, I've been on. Mainly a built DRZ and 2 stroke race spec Yamaha YZF 250. TBH, I find them nearly unusable in a normal setting because the engines just buck and complain when going at normal speeds. They taught me, why they have close ratio gearboxes with many gears, and that's purely to keep them in their narrow power band.

That math between torque and power is why the metric system exists. 😄 Just use kN and kW.

Hey Scotty, my 2002 WRX was dyno tuned to 155KW at the wheels but it developed soon after a bad hesitation when accelerating and before turbo boots. The tuner stated my OEM ECU is the culprit so I recently purchased a Haltech platinum pro plugin ECU. It will be interesting if the hesitation is rectified when it is retuned with the new ECU.

Nice work

Thanks Scotty

Good trick is to graph drive wheel/hub torque /vs road speed in each gear. You can then see if it even worth considering a closer ratio trans by seeing how much gap (vertically) on the graph between max rpm in one gear compared to she road speed in next gear. And if you factor vehicle weight into the graph, you can bench race different cars against each other, assuming same type of dyno was used.

Nice TF. Would having a bigger/ medium single on an ls do the same as the turbo versions of the 4 n6? Or twins?? Would a cam be more beneficial??

From an NA engine you can only get about 110Nm/l or 81,5lbft/l, realistically a few less, in a high end race engine a few more. If you add boost you multiply the torque for every bar of boost. The amount of cylinders as well as the bore/stroke ratio does not really affect the acheivable torque but it does affect at what rpm you can deploy that torque. A point I would like to make regarding the "what is better for the street", one very important aspect is how well the engine is tuned when its not on wide open throttle. The numbers you see on the dyno is at WOT, but you rarely drive at WOT on the street, its more important with a quality tune at medium throttle around 1-5krpm than WOT torque numbers.

An NA 4cyl making 550Nm? yeah nah

as long as you get the same power numbers it no matter what type of setup engine you have but you must also take into consideration weight etc small 2,5 litre turbo with let say 500 bhp from 5000 to 7500 rpm vs 5 litre v8 with 500 bhp from 7000 to 10500 rpm give egzacly the same results on track but you must also conisder turbo lag and engine weight .

Differentual gearing and tyre size along with a tough transmission / Gearbox can change the curve very effectivly and put the power where you are most likely to use it. You can have the most expensive and hottest motor avaliable but it won't matter if the rest is not set up correctly and don't forget you have to stop as well. Bigger power calls for bigger brakes

i have actually a question about comparisons. Vor exampel. On which engine does a supercharger or turbocharger suits the best.

"Kant BEET Kewbz" Hahaha. Needs to be a shirt

I found this video informative. However like someone else commented, why isn't there a turbo 4 cylinder with a small turbo? What about, (and i know there is some controversy of this), a higher compression small turbo 4 chart on here?

What mods does the k24 have? And what k24 is it? It's hard to believe that it has so much Nm. I have just turboed my k24z3 with 5 psi. I have 252nm and 167wkw. At 7288rpm. Im happy with the way the car drives. But i might up the boost to 9psi just to get the most of my setup and money.

Great video as always... but all the torque numbers in the world (and via math, hp/kw) don't mean anything until they're multiplied out through gearing! Broad engine comparisons are basically useless until you look at what transmission they're typically (or available to be) paired with. Imagine 2 fantasy engines - one makes 100 ft/lbs. of torque up to 8k, another is twice is big and makes 200 ft/lbs., but only up to 4k... geared appropriately, they'll both be just as fast. (not so coincidentally) their hp/kw will be pretty damn close.

When did you switch to left hand?

Uploaded dyno sheet but no response, what's the point?

Supercharged (postive displacement type) engines combine best of na plus turbo for a great all round circuit/drag/street compromise. You just lose the final ultimate torque/power a turbo makes at similar boost. And about 15 psi -20 psi is probably a reasonable max boost you can get if you want to do a few circuit laps. Though you can cheat a bit by spraying water/meth through the charger...

the best engine for a daily car, van or pickup is a 4 Cylinder Turbo Diesel! 😆 not necessarily the fastest thing out there, but think about it, a diesel as small as a 1.7L 4 cylinder can make 90kw as early as 2000rpm and max out at around 105kw @ 4,000 revs that sort of performance will push your car hard from a stand still to about your average cruising speed (80-130kph). but beyond that rpm range you'll feel the power declining, opposite to what a turbo petrol feels like.
