I know this has already been answered probably. but say a trubo car vs a na car with the same amount of horsepower and everything else being the same etc.. which car would be faster? people say NA because it has a mroe smoohter powerband but would'nt turbo cars out torque a NA car and be able to pull on the NA in mid to high - mid range area?

 

turbo fosho!

did i mention that you can turn up the boost and get the advantage?

 

Trubo

Anyhow, there was a thread on this topic in FI a while back, that went on for alot of pages, alot of good point, and opinions, but i cant find it

What is a trubo?

 

A trubo is a real turbo . just so that people don't mistake real turbos with the electric turbos.

 

most daily driven all motor cars don't make as much power as turbo cars, so there for it wouldn't be much of a race

depends on what "everything else" being the same would be. on shitty tires the na car would be at a slight disadvantage. on average, the na car would whoop turbo ***.

Why do you think the NA car would be at a slight disadvantage? It would probally have less wheel spin due to the fact that the power doesn't come all at once (like it does on a turbo car when you hit full boost).

 

Peak HP being identical on each...turbo wins. Why? Because of the massive advantage in torque under bo0st.

Isn't there a saying, "Torque wins races..."

 

peak HP

 

Thats why I would say turbo would win also, but the orignal question states that EVERYTHING was the same (I'm assuming this means TQ numbers also). I don't really think there is an answer to this question, because the turbo car will always be making more power!

 

hehehe heres an old vid of one of my last cars on the dyno. When it shows the boost guage yes its in bar http://www.forced-motion.com/Videos/FMjuly03.mpg
