96mm vs 102mm s400 turbine

Bigger turbine side is used when you have maxed out smaller one, if not, you just lose power. So bigger housing needs more fuel.

Your baseless generalized answers are confusing, apparently you are trying to convince yourself you are correct.

DUH. Of course you need a bigger turbine if you want more power when a smaller one is maxed out.

Correct about what ? It is just impossible to rule out all the variables in these tests, needs too much time and money. Every turbine, or whatever part, is best in certain combinations and setups.

There is some strange results, like bigger turbinehousing making less power at higher rpm, same power at lower rpm.

It's only a 5 hp difference in that last pic, how much is that in percents, 1%? Might go inside the dyno accuracy etc.

Would be nice if someone made comparison of different turbo setups so that the engine control would keep EGT constant from e.g. 3000 rpm up. Or lambda constant through whole rpm range and EGT limiter at high rpm. That way we would see the true power potential of each setup.

That might be true.

It's not strange at all, of course you would first need to understand how a negative sweep works.

Understand but we never do it because it is not real life. Should have no meaning to housing size.

It directly relates to real life specifically in a sled pulling application, and it very much has a meaning to housing size. I think you are mistaking your opinion for fact.

Not only sled pulling, but also working applications.

For example, a loaded semi on the road. When it hits a hill, what happens with rpm? Negative sweep.

So yes, a negative sweep on an engine dyno is very applicable. Probably more so than a chassis dyno that runs the rpm “up hill”.

You need to ignore Leiffi, he is a euro troll that has never done anything performance related in his life. Bases his experience off what other people have told him. (I’m sure most of which was to get him to go away.) Totally doesn’t understand why certain engines are dyno’d in certain ways. Thinks acceleration or inertia dynos are the only true way to test, even if the engine being ran is used in a pulling application where the load is gradually increased. He’s a time vampire and will not bring anything useful to this or any other thread.

I have a billet s480 race cover, t6 1.32 80/96/1.32 if anyone needs one.

Lots of usable turbine options coming from offshore.
