We moved out last year. I miss where I lived as it was pretty nice, but Denver isn't what it used to be. I'd go to Ned when I needed nuts and bolts. It was actually a shorter (time-wise) drive to go to the Ace Hardware there, than it was to go to one at the bottom of the mountain.
Knowledge is empowering, but... Wait until you learn that not all AWD applications are the same. My Subaru had an LSD in the rear (torsen in the front) and you could lock the F/R power distribution.
But, all those shitty, non-4WD rally cars are dumb and not empowered.
So for most of my driving, a Tesla wouldn't break even (providing nothing broke) for 150k+ miles, for my usage. I am referencing my daily driving since I don't use the truck every day and the usage is not the same.
That said, I've been sitting at 28.x MPG on my display for awhile, but we'll see...
I use HP Tuners on my truck and also a HP Tuners dealer. I don't drive my truck as much as I want to right now, but I have done tuning on my transmission. I am looking to bump the power here soon, but this isn't a race truck for me, so it hasn't been a big concern. I wanted to make the drive...
Sorry, I misread it on my phone in following the graphs and trying to read the run numbers.
That said, there's not a whole lot of difference between the red and green, though green is better. They are both peaky torque curves, which is what is hard on rods/bearings/wrist pins.
Again, that...
I don't think you see that I am agreeing with you, which now the title of this thread makes sense to me.
All those graphs show the same thing... A small turbo. The blue graph is flatter ("longer power band") but does not hang on up top in comparison to the other two graphs. Ultimately, it...
Obviously that is ideal, however, small turbos don't really allow that. From a tuning perspective, dealing with mostly non-car guy customer base, you'll find many just running the power up where it will be easy. Peak numbers and 0-60 times are metrics to sell to the masses.
You won't get this...
That's just what small turbos do. Increase the boost, and you get more power where the turbo is efficient. Boost ramping could help here, but there is only so much of that, that can be done on a small turbo.
That said, people want to feel a difference. The easiest way is to run the boost up...
