Also I see your AFR is 10, you're not running rich though are you?

not rich but the game flipped out and i had to reinstall do i dont have it anymore
Re: An interesting power curve
Took me a few minutes to realise it wasn't a large turbine, but a high AR ratio that was derestricting flow through the turbine:
Obviously not exact replica of the values earlier, but a close enough demonstration of what really happened. Derestrict the turbine flow too much, and the engine runs rich. Also, while the net effect is very little, raising the boost limit damages the engine, probably because of the pressures running through the compressor not being relieved by the wastegate?

Interestingly enough this was on default settings with a journal bearing turbo but with the boost cranked up to octane limit. Once I selected ball bearings it went to a generic torque curve like any other.

Well. Our company boss yelled "Sauerkraut".
He went to do the design by himself.
And we have a very large boat...I mean car engine, with "constant" torque from 1000-5000 RPM.
Because why the hell not?

Re: An interesting power curve
Turbine 99.0 mm
AR Ratio 1.15
Max boost 1.24 bar
Max boost doesn't matter at that stage as the setup doesn't allow the turbo to fully spool.
But hey people will stop whining about not having a flat powerband
