Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 29, 2007 8:52 am) Some where on the web is a nice graph showing the relation of altitude to power loss with a turbo and NA motor. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 29, 2007 8:52 am) At high altitude, the air pressure is lower & the turbo runs faster, which compresses the inlet charge more than it would at sea level, which is a good thing, because there's less of it to compress. It doesn't provide 100% of the power available at sea level standard (59 deg, 760mm of Hg, yada, yada) day, but it comes reasonably close & definitely is superior to a naturally-aspirated engine on those 11-12K foot mountain passes in CO. OTOH, while you can get away with 85 octane gas in a NA engine that would require 91 at sea level, you've got to actually burn premium in a turbo.

Does anyone know if they take out O2 sensors in Denver beacuse the air so thin? I do, but after reading your essay, you’d never understand.  jmonroe

I think I will go be obnoxious at a few car dealers, just to generate some story lines! I do have to go to the Honda dealer tonight to drop of the van for service. Might have to wander into the showroom, if I can convince the wife to go take a test sit in a new Accord. No drives of course. Hey, that's as close to a sales story as this thread has come in quite a while! |

Replying to: mackabee (Oct 28, 2007 9:27 pm)  Unless there's a sea change, the AFC (read: Patriots) shall win the Super Bowl. As for the Pats running the table, possible but I wouldn't be surprised (or concerned) should they drop a game or two. Just not sure (other than Indy) who can beat 'em. I think they can only beat themselves...

Replying to: richard64 (Oct 28, 2007 8:14 pm) You had me confused with that word (mourning). Since you wrote your post at 12:14 AM, I couldn’t understand why you were telling us what part of the day it was where you live, because nobody brought up that subject. It seemed like such a matter of fact thingy since most people, wherever they live, sleep during the wee hours of the morning and nobody gives it a second thought. Then I realized you pulled a homonym on me.  jmonroe
