    So the motor that maxes out on 500whp on pump gas will make more power than the one that can make 600whp on pump gas with the same compression?
    hmm

    in that case lets all build 1.4l motors and forget swapping bigger more efficient motors
    You just don't get it or you don't want to.
    Lower compression by removing piston compression then increase boost to increase the compression back up but produce more power output.

    My 1.3L made 618rwhp. I know of 1.1Ls making over 650rwhp. Anything can be done.

    rotaries? or piston motors?

    you dont see my point.

    Sure a 1.3 can make 618whp 30k later
    a rb26 will make that with rods and pistons, turbo, and injectors nothing else
    see my point?
