@listert25953 жыл бұрын
Hey Greg, awesome video as per usual! One thing I was thinking of as you were talking about the amount of boost pushing on the valve. A lot of technical videos talk about boost being a measurement of resistance in the engines ability to breathe. With that in mind, if you were to optimise and increase the airflow (not pressure) in and out of the engine, then in theory, you could run the same power at lower boost, which means less force acting on the valve train. That being said, I guess you’d need to measure the airflow in and the airflow out of the engine, as optimising one over the other could impact the force on the intake and exhaust springs. Just some food for thought, as I know when I looked at Borg Warner turbos of a similar size, they seemed to require a lot more boost pressure than say a g25-550 to achieve the same power.
@TheCarPassionChannel3 жыл бұрын
Boost pressure is a measure of restriction, correct. Airflow does make power, boost pressure is a result of restriction. So if you were making more power at lower boost you could technically run a softer spring but I would not think about that very much, just use the right springs. You're talking about +/- a few psi, if your springs are at the limit like that you should run something stiffer anyways. As far as the EFR vs G25-550, I can't say I agree at least between similar setups (the G25-550's closest relative is the EFR6758). In Miataland, most of the time you see any car taking 28-32+psi to break into the 400's it's because it's either a 1.6L or it has a more restrictive intake or exhaust system. With proper intake/exhaust manifolds on a 99+ 1.8L either one of those turbos should be in the low 400's in the 21-24psi range. So when you're doing your research just remember that the engine that the turbo is bolted onto might be the reason it takes a lot more boost pressure to make power, and might not be the turbo itself. That being said, the new G series turbos have an incredibly efficient compressor.

No units were used in the example, but if you were using m/s for the velocity yes the resulting acceleration would be m/s/s. Another valid unit could have been mi/h if you're really into the bald eagles, which would have resulted in absurd acceleration units of mi/h/s which is also valid but literally never used. I omitted units in order to reduce confusion, but it might have had the opposite effect, lol.

If the seat pressure of stock valve springs are higher than the Volvo springs, I think the Volvo springs are a big no-no for everyone.
