The claim was made that N*m for torque is the same as J of work. I am simplying saying this is not the case.

Where in all of that is torque analogous to work?

This is a composite of several acceleration with respect RPM logs from my AE86 Corolla comparing VVT on and VVT off. Please explain why the acceleration peak is where torque peak is, considering that I am wrong and acceleration and torque do not correlate.

You DID spell torque right.

I’m not seeing how what you’re saying contradicts what I was intending.

N*m of torque is not the same thing as Joules. One is a force times a moment arm. The other is a force over a distance.

Only if we listening to Lindsey Buckingham while doing so.

Please tell me how that invalidates what I’ve said.

Please be specific. What am I confusing? How am I wrong?

Power is not proportional to speed because there is an independent variable involved, torque.

That means power isn’t proportional to acceleration.

Torque is to an angular system what force is to a linear system.

Angular velocity isn’t constant.

I’m not meaning to be. I just get impatient with the internet sometimes, but don’t we all?

That is incorrect.

I was correcting the person I was responding to, who said he.

What of any of that invalidates what I said? Plot torque with respect to rpm, acceleration with respect to rpm, and VE with respect to rpm. They correlate. It makes a wonderful tuning tool, which I’ve used regularly.

I have, too, and agree with you. I was more saying that there is an expectation of knowledge with the education, a lot of it dealing with this specific subject. Even so, there’s more going on than can be described so quickly.

If you plot acceleration with respect to torque for any RPM it will be a strait line. That is a linear relationship.

Where’s power?
