> I found this link: http: > //lancet.mit.edu/motors/motors3.html That's a DC electric motor. Totally different characteristics to a = piston engine! This one's quite good. By an _astonishing_ coincidence, their chosen modelling target is an R34 RB26DETT :-) http://www.welltall.com/ymc/discovery/car/shiftpt.html You know how I was saying most engines have fairly flat torque curves? = Well, this is what happens when you add a turbo - Mount Vesuvius appears on = your dyno chart. I did notice his approximation is pretty ropey in one fairly important respect - torque does not go in a straight line from zero at standstill = to peak. The official torque line there goes from 200NM@1500rpm to 400NM@4500rpm. That line doesn't go through the origin! Doing an image search for "torque curve" gives you a really good = selection of torque curve shapes. You can see that within the useful range, normally-aspirated cars are basically a rounded hump. I think I was on = the small side with 10% - maybe 30% or so. On the other hand, cars with = turbos do the Everest thing.
