MPG The Best Of Both Worlds
Turbo puts more air to the engine which requires more fuel right? Or does it make more power at less rpm's so it saves on fuel?
When the engine is under boost, it will require more fuel. However, when at cruise, it will require less fuel since boost is low or not there.
Alotta guys and gals love waving the flag of "I do it without boost" and I as well love to say I can make some decent power without it. While all that is great because you built it or what ever, boost on the engine makes alotta power and if done right, it really makes alotta power without costing a grooosss amount of extra fuel.
You can have a mild engine, cam, compresion set up and then add boost on top when needed for a whoopin amount of more of power. It's just not cheap to add it on. But well worth it in terms of power.
Here you'll use the torque to your advantage. Cruise in and around peak torque to take advantage of the most and best power making abilty of the engine when it's converting liquid gas into power for cruising in the car.
When the need to go fast comes, the boost poors in and off you'll go.
Now a melloer engine can use a lower gear set and a overdrive tranny to it's best advantage. The boost will cover the rest.
