Hi guys
A lot of interesting discussion so far.
Before we go further, can I just make sure that I am clear - effectively the boost seen by the inlet depends on how much air can flow through both the engine and the turbo. If the turbo is small, then the pressure is effectively 'backed up', so volume is reduced, and the pressure is increased. This is why 2 bar in a T3 is different to 2 bar in a T4.
Have I got this right?
Okay, so lets say you are blueprinting an engine for 500bhp. This is the end goal. Lets bring low comp back into the equation now. I am really curious as to how one would go about doing it.
I happily admit to my own ignorance on the matter of compression ratio. I have only ever myself experienced std comp, so cant comment at all on low comp. The purpose of this hypothetical has changed ever so slightly now to make a good driving 500bhp engine!
