Like I told you in PM's, flow = CFM = velocity

Increasing CFM increases the velocity of the air entering the combustion chamber. More air at a higher velocity (at the same boost pressure) = more power.



Look up any other platform. A bigger turbo on the same engine, at the same boost, will yield more power (even with the only variable being the turbo)

yep, this is why the idea is to make 500 WHP or so at a lower boost or the same boost given that its safe to do so

More air...More CFM...More velocity.

[quattrosaint]

Really simple...... Think of our turbo's as a straw and think of the Precision turbo as a garden hose. More air, more volume, same psi passing through it.

Look up Bernoulli's principle. Keeping RPM's the same (increasing RPM's means you reach the first stroke more over a period of time) you will have the same pressure differential from the combustion chamber to the intake manifold/cylinder head ports which controls flow/CFM/air velocity/whatever you want to call it. So show me a graph with same IAT's, boost at the same RPM where a larger turbo created 200whp more than a smaller turbo where the smaller turbo wasn't already choking at that RPM/boost (That's different because it's air turbulence).

[AYF80]

I dont understand why we care about a specific boost number... who cares, why does it matter if we can run the car at X Boost? All that matters is that the boost is set at what ever number it needs to be set at to make the max power. I could care less if the turbo is set to run 3 PSI, as long as its making the target power.

just know the larger the turbo, the less boost is needed to make the same or more power than a smaller turbo.

[MDORPHN]

And less boost, less heat, greater efficiency.

If you are trying to convince everyone here that a larger turbo at the same PSI makes = or less power then a smaller one then you sir need to prove us wrong.

99% of us here already understand physics and how it works.

Please stop derailing this thread cause you dont understand.

After about 1 or 2 people convincing you that you'r incorrect you would think he would drop the subject. Now he has the entire community telling him he is wrong and he still insist that he is right. Take a hint bro.

Expensive taste, cheapest intercooler, cheapest tune. Good job.

If manifold temperature and pressure do not change then air flow will not change at a given rpm.

[Joshboody]

You are forgetting about the exhaust side, which is the limiting factor here. Less pressure in the exhafold better evacuation of the cylinder and more room to fill from the intake side.

Smaller twins and single may create the similar cylinder fills at Xpsi within efficiency ranges, but the single can produce more air flow so this cylinder fill happens at a higher rpm… extending the VE curve, or a new curve at higher rpms… more power. But peak torque could be reduced depending on engine VE (heads mainly) at this new rpm range.

It's a communal effort in helping

What's your guess on the point the air flow through the tiny head ports matters/becomes a limiting factor on the stock head?

[AYF80]

I think we are good till 700HP

I'm not saying that all. What I'm saying is that you will gain power throughout the RPM range (minus the lower end) due to heat savings and the ability to add timing from this lower volatility of the incoming mixture. But this will not be an extraordinary option for people who want to keep low boost because the numbers will not be a huge difference until you get to the point in the RPM band where our original turbos run out of steam. The place where this turbo upgrade will really shine is when we increase the boost and have it until redline or hopefully higher.

^incorrect still. Low boost (12psi) on a precision 60 or 70 series turbo should be plenty for most users. It could be over 400whp

Did you read a thing I said?...at what boost? Ya, it might make 400whp at 7200rpms but at 12psi at the same RPM, the two will make similar power with the bigger turbo having a minor advantage with heat savings and the ability to run more timing advance. Are you a peak type person or an area under the curve person??? Sounds like a dyno queen type of person.

is this your first turbo car? just curious

although this is on honda platforms, this link proves you're full of shit. a bigger turbo will have more power at the same rpm's as a smaller turbo, in teh mid and upper rpm range (where your rpms will be in performance driving). low rpm's don't matter. nobody tries to go fast by shifting at 3.5 or 4k rpms. it will have "more area under the curve" all things considered. that is the argument you're making now, correct?
