There's no REASON to spin a diesel any faster. Why beat the crap out of the motor if you don't need to.
If we could get those torque yields out of gasoline at 3,000 RPM's we'd be setting redlines like that too.
I've done the math. It gets surprisingly higher than you think.
E = C((B / 14.7) + 1)
Where E= Effective Compression, B= boost psi, and C= Static compression. Also remember that 14.7 is equal to 1 bar of boost.
Let's do an example. Let's say we have a 2JZ-GTE with a 8.5:1 static compression...
Idiocy... If you don't know, please don't put shit like this out here. You couldn't be more wrong.
That "clacking" noise diesels make? That's detonation.
A diesel detonates every time it fires.
Diesels are build to a different standard. (They are a lot tougher).
The CT-26 on the MR-2 is NOT the same turbo that is installed on the Supra.
We have no idea why Toyota engaged in this part naming silliness, but it is the way it is.
Stock flywheel is good for just about anything you can throw at it.
It's the rotating mass that most people are trying to eliminate. It gets your RPM's up faster which means you can get into boost quicker.
However, with that lack of mass, you loose momentum, the motor is quicker to "spin down"...
It's been discussed in several places. There are a number of issues, here are just a few:
people don't like giving out VIN's
what if a user has a vin and someone else shows up with the same vin - who is the real "owner".
what about former owners who have vins?
what about people like me, who...
