Let’s say you have two turbocharged cars. They both have the same type of engine with the same displacement. They both make 20 psi of boost, but one of them makes more power than the other. Weird, right? Jason Fenske from Engineering Explained on youTube is here to break down how and why it happens. Though the boost pressure may be the same for both engines, It’s just one factor in calculating how much power comes out of the engine. Fenske explains that the temperature of the air going into the engine is a major decider for power output. Let’s say one of those cars I mentioned earlier has a smaller, Less efficient turbocharger than the other. It has to … Continue reading Why More Boost Doesn’t Always Mean More Power
