jono Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Has anyone run a low compression 7.7:1 turbo ea82 without the turbo? I reckon ea82t goes OK before boost cuts in so wondering.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It runs 8.5 psi boost. That's about a 58% increase in power theoretically (58% of a full atmosphere which would give a theoretical 100% HP increase). Which means it's going to contribute approx a thereoretical 58%÷2 of the rated HP. Subtract 29% of the 115 HP rating of the engine and you are left with a little less than 82 HP. Which is about what you would expect being the EA82 n/a versions are around 85 to 95 HP. Lost compression accounts for the HP loss over an MPFI n/a engine at 9.5 compression. So basically.... slow. A little math is all that's needed. Boost performance is pretty easy to rough calculate. GD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
