it is the rod/stroke ratio and the bore/stoke that make the biggest difference. this is all stupid though. yea a small stroke big bore (indy) motor will have a different torqe curve than the same displacement passenger car engine. duh... even if they make the same peak torqe number the shorter stroke will generaly make it at a higher rpm so it will make more hp

 

never mind, you guys are making the question into alot more than it was meant to be.

 

Heres an answer go ride in one and come back and talk to us. Then you will understand. Its an addiction like no other.

 

Q: i was just wondering something, the 13b has a displacment equal to a 2.6l piston engine even though it is only 1.3l right?



A: It is 1.3l and so the displacement isn't equal to 2.6l. People can argue that all they want.



Q: so does that mean a 13b will have the low end and response of a 2.6l pushing equal hp and running a simiular spec turbo?



A: Thats too broad a question, there are too many variables. It could have better, it could have worse. Comparing apples to oranges.



Q: a 13b definatley has better response than a 2l right?



A: Well if you're comparing my 1.3l austin mini cooper which makes 75hp, then yes, my 1.3l FD that makes 255hp stock has bettter response.

 

Q- so does that mean a 20b 2.0L makes the same hp as a 4.0 v8?

A: NO



Q: is it turbo charged or NA

 

its twin charged and makes 809090789678790whp stock with is roughly that of a h22 bored to a 9.75434 liter with a t28 turbo...

 

Q- how many Liters is a NOS bottle anyway?..... that has to add into the equation somewhere doesn't it?

 

LOL It starts....

 

formula one cars have a 3liter v10 but they could be downsized to a 2.4liter v8 if the governing body has its way with things
