I’m an automotive engineer, I studied this stuff for years, don’t try and start this.

OBVIOUSLY a turbocharged engine, gas or diesels, is going to have a higher BMEP than something NA. There is no way you can get the volumetric efficiency other wise. That’s not the point I’m trying to argue.

Jalopnik is not a very technically minded crowd. I’m an automotive engineering but what do I know.

I’ve learned to not get riled up about misinformation on the internet. You’ll realize finding someone who actually knows what they are taking about is rare. If you try to explain it to people they hear math words and duck…

You seem to still not understand what’s going on here. You need to not look at max figures, you need to look at the integral of work. The diesel is doing more work per stroke, it’s also producing a wider torque band. I’ve driven a NA 7.3 and a 460, their power delivery characteristics are different.

How about this comparison

You are incorrect. A diesel has torque because of the stroke ratio and higher effect BMEP compared to a gas engine.

You’re trying to sound smart but you sound like a fool.
