Engine A has less cubic inches of displacement(volume) than engine B Temperature drops 10 degrees Engine B gains more power than engine A because it has a greater volume of air to work with. Engine B has more to gain from the drop in temperature because it has more cold(dense) air than engine A. More air -> more gas -> bigger explosion = more hp This is why temperature is not linear with HP for all applications. Im going to re-direct you to another series of my posts that would be helpful for you and me so i don't have to retype all this. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1275 specificly post #20 Edit: If you have any questions don't hesitate to PM and actually please do, so we don't clutter up this thread anymore than we already have. btw: FI = forced induction Last edited by 321; 09-17-2007 at 04:40 PM.. |

Every motor is like a finger print. They may be similar and they might even look the same but they still are not exact. This is why all N54's don't make the same HP with all environmental variables being equal. Therefor there is no universal temperature constant between them. You can calculate ~approx hp #'s but that is in no way accurate so don't treat them as such. Once again, calculations are just calculations. |

On top of that, it takes MUCH more than just ONE test mule. If engine A throws a rod at Xwhp, that doesn't hold true for engine B. There's still too many variables to draw a solid conclusion from one example. As far as the Evo, yes a stock block Evo can and will handle 600whp provided the rpm's and boost is kept within reason, and the tune is "safe". That's WHP not flywheel hp by the way. The fact that your calling the Evo stupid just proves my point that you are clueless when it comes to "car technical stuffs"

I like to add: LACA335i will be the first one to have all these parts installed and he will be the first one to have a blown motor!
