Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Comparing an NA engine to a turbo charged engine is apples and oranges, there is no fair way to compare them. Simply put, there is huge power gains to be had with a turbo and you can still maintain fuel economy while not on boost. Thats what i call efficient!I think we are talking at cross purposes here, what coefficient are you talking about to declare supercharging will make an engine more efficient than one at standard atmosphere?
Thermodynamically? Fuel? Energy density? Energy consumption vs power output? I can’t think of any way to compare any factors that led you to that. Happy to hear more detail on that rather than you keep comparing size of vessel before pressurised, like muppets who don’t even get the basics of Volumetric Efficiency.
Without the result of capacity x pressure you may as well be comparing apples to oranges. But have a read of that link first.
Ok got a list engines, but what do you mean by “match” them?A short list of great turbo engine's over the past 25yrs tuff as nails, over engineered and do last and plenty still going strong today.

I can't think of a N/a engine in a volume selling production vehicle that can match these.
But of course there is, muppets use the unpressurised capacity all the time. Which is ludicrous.Comparing an NA engine to a turbo charged engine is apples and oranges, there is no fair way to compare them.

Why use capacity as a measure of performance?? You can have great volumetric efficiency but with a choked up exhaust perform like **** yeah??Ok got a list engines, but what do you mean by “match” them?
They are all boosted, the way to match them is using volumetric efficiency to determine effective capacity (vs performance). BMEP is another means, more to the point. But FFS you two can’t seem to get over the fact a small boosted vessel is by no measure more effective at delivering performance than unboosted vessel of same effective capacity.
Eg:
RB30ET i6 @7 PSI (0.5 ATM) = 4500cc
VK45DD v8 @0 PSI = 4500cc
They don’t compare well.
2JZ-GTE i6 @9 PSI (0.6 ATM) = 4836cc
2UR-GSE v8 @0 PSI = 4969cc
They don’t compare well.
BARRA 245T i6 @6 PSI (0.4) = 5752cc
BOSS 315 v8 @0 PSI = 5400
Again, not a favourable comparison.
But of course there is, muppets use the unpressurised capacity all the time. Which is ludicrous.
Compare the capacity using volumetric efficiency (I assume you didn’t read the link) and you at least rule out perceived magic involved.
Effective capacity informs BMEP calc used in torque calc used in power calc.Why use capacity as a measure of performance??
All theoretical averages.. why not talk real world results? Our NA engines just can't compete with boost when it comes to performance. Its pretty simple.Effective capacity informs BMEP calc used in torque calc used in power calc.
Hi Immortality,Well yes and no, it's all relative.
In laymans terms a 3 litre boosted motor operating at 2 bars of boost (twice that of atmospheric pressure) would be the same as a 6 litre motor running n/a in terms of volumetric capacity and if the n/a motor was working at 100% efficiency (which fairly much no n/a street spec engine does expect may Monstars beast) would produce the same power but the boosted engine would always have a better overall power/torque curve.
No, physics and the laws that govern the real world. Yes simple if you bother your arse to learn but what you are arguing is not engineering or physics.All theoretical averages.. why not talk real world results?
