You keep looking at what metric horsepower is converted to imperial. That is not what I am talking about. You spoke of European numbers and why they were much higher, and I told you it was because they use different methods to rate their power. I did say anything about conversion. If they used different methods as pointed out in that article that certain Eurpoean countries do, then it does not matter what the metric to imperial conversion is.
What is about the statement "Interestingly, the new SAE standard is closer to the European procedure, which is EEC 80/1269. There are minor differences. For example, the exhaust configuration and the specified fuel-quality requirements vary, and these can have an effect on horsepower. But we're talking about small differences, possibly accounting for a less-than-one-percent variation."
in the C&D article that you don't understand.
Weren't you the one who stated the ED had the higher compression ratio. Improving flow and cooling the intake charge are just other methods of raising manifold pressure.
Yes I did. The Ecoboost has a compression ratio of 10:1 with a while the Ecodiesel is a compression ratio of 16.5:1, but what does that have to do with your initial statement of how you think the 2.7L Ecoboost is more stress since it makes more power?
In previous posts you made reference to the ED screaming away at 3500 to 4000 RPM when the presenters clearly said it didn't go above 3500 RPM. For good reason, it makes peak HP at 3600 RPM
3.0 Ecodiesel Peak HP at 3600 RPM. Peak torque at 2000 RPM
2.7 Ecoboost Peak HP at 5750 RPM. Peak Torque at 3000 RPM
I can't imagine why I would think something so ridiculous.:R
