Old enough to have seen it all, thank you, and no, that's not a bad thing. But those are your words Jake, not mine. I just pay attention.
So it's a capital "G" then? |

well since a T3 uses TI heads and TI heads won't fit on a T4 I'd say that they are referring to a T3-T4 hybrid Garrett Turbo.
This uses a T3 compressor and a T4 discharge. Damn Grant, I would have expected more from you. A TI into a 914 would free up more 914 cores for transplant into RI vehicles, which is where the engine really shines. I think it would make a great AX combo since longevity is of no concern. I have a 220 HP twin plug NA TI combo that rocks...With the guys at Beck buying so many engines from us I have started making our own parts. The guys over at Bugpack are also making parts for us and working together on R&D to make better parts. Anything to keep the radiator away! |

Oh so it is a T1. Thats even cooler! Damn more reason to go for a T1 motor powered car.

With at turbo.
Strap a turbo on a dog and it will go faster. Without it would be a much fairer comparison. Turbo- the crutch for ineffcient engines. Ken |

I'm pretty sure that neither a dyno nor your transaxle knows if there's a turbo on that "inefficient" engine or not. But they both sure know more horsepower when they see it. |

Paul,
It says it's a 2332cc turbo injected engine- aka it needs a crutch to get that level of efficiency and power. If power levels are equal, a turbo engine will never be as efficient as a non-turboed engine. Car manufacturers such as Volvo have been doggy engines and boosting their output with a turbo. Take off the turbo, and it's still a dog. Putting it another way, the power of that 2332cc turbo engine is WAYYYYY less without the turbo. Ken |

I'm sorry, but I can't agree that a turbo does anything but make an engine more efficient. You are returning wasted energy to the engine.
Try telling buick grand national owners that their turbos are a crutch! How about 962 owners? The list goes on and on. |

Turbo's and nitrous both boost output on an engine that cannot produce that power naturally.
It takes skill to get an extra 50 hp or more outa an engine by tweaking the heads, the ports, the valve sizes, and the exhaust- reliably. I first saw that with my friend's Formula Ford. For the Formula Ford cars, they took a Ford Cortina block, strapped Cosworth DOHC heads on it with a tuned exhaust and webers and it went from an anemic stock 75 hp up to a reliable 150 hp. Could you strap a turbo on that 75 hp stock Cortina block and increase HP? Yep, but it will never perform like the ultra efficient Cosworth heads/exhaust combo. Well, maybe for a short time. With the stock combo, you would be blowing through a soda straw to try to overcome the flow resistances/inefficiencies of the stock engine (stock ports, heads and exhaust). Ken |

Ken But the motor is built for dynamics of boosted intake, of course its less effiecient than a naturally aspirated motor in unboosted state? Its not a crutch as much as its a motor designed to be turbocharged? Car manufactures use turbos for vareity of reasons. It is a way to save weight and provide excellent driveability with lower cost small displacement motors. I look at my 2.3 turbo Mazda as great example, it puts out 280ft ft lbs of toque at 3000 RPM and makes 275 HP Thats similar to a V8 motor with over twice as much displacement. For me it comes down to what is lightest package that puts put most HP for the least amount of $$$$ and maintains some level of reliability. Thats why I like T1 idea. |

Any form of forced induction breeds efficiency.. Without boost its hard to get more than 100% VE from an engine thats aircooled with less than 11:1 CR, however I have been able to squeeze 122% from the 1500cc Land Speed engine that currently holds the ECTA record.
An engine that performs best without boost, typically won't have the optimum CR and combo for boost so doing a back to back comparison is difficult. The best back to back I have done is a stock 2.0 that made 88 HP N/A made 160 with less than 10 PSI boost with no other changes and non intercooled. All other engines I have boosted tend to make double their N/A output at 1 Bar boost. I have two Turbos on deck now, one is a twin plug 2332 TI with a dual ceramic ball bearing Turbo and the other is a single plug 2.1 L TIV using an 82 stroke and 91mm bore with a T2/T3 hybrid custom Turbo that is also dual ceramic ball bearing.. I expect both these low CR, mild cammed engines to make less than 140 HP N/A and both over 300 at 1 Bar boost. Both are made for low revving applications that need smooth power and little lag. The last Turbo I built was 80X100 and made 283 HP @ 10 PSI boost with 340 lb/ft of torque.. |

I've built 2 1914's. They're the best bang for the buck in my opinion. The 62 bug I put the second one in would lift the front wheels. That's after I put on larger fenders and ran 8" rims. I would regularly blow the doors off my buddies Turbo'd Integra. I remember the first time I beat him. He was so pissed that he had more $ in his engine than I had in my entire Bug and he still got smoked.
Sigh.. those were the days. (IMG:http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/7166/picture1mw1.th.jpg) |
