[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1827426, member: 21075"] I don't think a gas can compete with a diesel with torque, but a bigger turbo can add torque and I am sure it will be tried. The question is can the engine stand the additional heat and stress? A few years ago we never thought you could get 1000 lbs. torque out of a smaller diesel engine and last. There are actually a number of reasons why diesels make so much torque, but the big reasons are stroke length, turbocharger boost, and average effective cylinder pressure. Turbo-diesels typically operate at higher turbocharger boost levels than do comparable gasoline engines. However, diesel is much denser than petrol and can store up to 15 per cent more energy per given volume. This means that each time diesel is combusted, more energy is transferred through to pressure on the piston, increasing the amount of torque acting through the crankshaft. [/QUOTE]
