Re: how do you find the right turbo.

oh ya, another think i found people using a few diffrent formulas to find out what a specific engines air flow requierments are. Which one is the most acurat? Im just playing around with maps so im using the simpelist one

CFM = (L x RPM x VE x Pr)/5660

then to find lbs/min just mult my about .06....

was acurate when i maped out on the t25 compressor map for 10psi wich is what im running now.

However there is also this way:
First to calculate EVF use the following equation:
EVF=(engineCID/1728)*(rpm/2)
then we’ll use EVF to calculate the amount of air in lb/min the engine is flowing under boost and at temperature using this equation:

N=(P*EVF*29)/(10.73*T)

Where N is the airflow in lb/min, P is the absolute pressure in psi, and T is the absolute ambient temperature in Rankin.

then take n and multiply it by the VE on your engine.

If there is a better way let me know.
