Okay this kinda of got off track:
I understand honda motors (turbo, super, N/A) make peak horsepower at a much higher RPM (ie 7500+).
Which makes it hard to make a "decent" torque level.
"Little engines need to rev higher to make more power"
That statement is not totally accurate because referring back to the 1.8t that makes great torque. Why? Because the horsepower is made at a lower RPM.
What causes the horsepower to be made at a higher RPM for hondas? Seems like its hard or impossible to reverse this effect.
Ask that question backwards, what cause the 1.8t to make hp at a lower RPM?
It has to be something with the design of the motor, but what...?

No, you dont use the REDLINE. you use the point(RPM) where you make the most power.
I really dont feel like rambling... I need to get to bed.
But its things like these that are my PET PEEVES.
People are do ******* stereotypical and think they know everything when really they are ignorant!!!!

Pat G would probably be the best person to have in this conversation.
Someone who completely understands flow... and all that jazz

I was just trying to help people understand the math portion of it. but apparently thats not where this thread was aimed, so i apologize. and like i said above, i dont understand the rest of it. but i have been thinking about it. but im still....

ugh.. thats backward thinking... you get horsepower from torque and rpm.. theres no horsepowerometer hahahah.... its a mathmatical equation. nothing more!
stop thinking about horsepower.... its not about horsepower. your car makes torque!.... horsepower is just your cars peak power and the rpm that happens at...
lets see. what makes torque. air+fuel= torque. the more of those two you can get, the more power. basically..... i dont wanna get too in depth, this is a simple subject and for some reason people are still confused.....
