That's precisely where opinions differ.
If two identical engines with different needle valve settings have one that revs up more aggressively than the other, which setting is the correct one?

Does it matter for a "true or false" answer which default setting was used, according to the manufacturer's specifications?

For each answer, there is a justification.

Hi,

Does the so-called "correction" work for you?
Did it bring about an improvement?

Yes, see "perceived diagram" in the user manual.

By the way, the PD software can provide certain indications about the effect of the NW adjustment: specifically, that depending on the area of the injection nozzle where the PDE is open, different flow rates (mg/rotation angle) are actually achieved.

In other words, the further back on the injection cam the injection occurs, the higher the actual pumping rate will be.

Follow (a bit complicated to understand):
If you advance the ignition timing, all the injection events shift backward on the fuel cam, and the higher fuel delivery rate results in slightly higher injection volumes, which the engine control unit (ECU) likely doesn't detect.

Since my fuel consumption reading is quite accurate and matches the fuel consumption during overnight refueling, I apparently haven't significantly altered my "all-settings" fuel pump calibration by adjusting the needle width (NW), because if I had, my overnight fuel consumption would be significantly higher than the average calculated by the MFA (Multi-Function Display).

'The ultra-long stroke '2V' engine concept for the 1.9-liter engine, however,...'
Brute force in the lower range and a certain resilience in the upper range are beneficial.

The influence of the necessary force that the PD elements absorb via the cam and, consequently, from the entire system, may also have a potentially negative effect at the top.

The AFN engine felt subjectively more rev-happy because the VP engine follows a different concept and has a more linear torque curve. For example, the AFN has 110 hp at 4250 rpm and 235 Nm of torque somewhere around 1900 rpm, while the AJM has 115 hp at 4000 rpm and 315 Nm of torque somewhere around 1900 rpm. It simply feels different.

For city drivers, those who prioritize fuel efficiency, and those who want a long-stroke engine, there's nothing better than a long-stroke PD (piston displacement) engine. People who want a more sporty feel tend to prefer a shorter-stroke CR (compression ratio) system. Regardless of the possibilities for mechanical or digital adjustments.

However, I believe that's only half the truth. The ASV engine, as a successor to the AFN, also produces its 110 horsepower at 4000 RPM. I've never driven an AFN, but the ASV isn't exactly known for being rev-happy. When you floor it in second or third gear, you quickly reach 4700 RPM, and it only starts to get slightly noisy at the very top... and even on the highway, it easily revs well above 4000 RPM.

Best regards,

Jan.

Good morning, everyone.

Okay, I'm assuming that means there are no tests, right?
So, either a test bench or a direct current resistance.


Question for other Porsche drivers.
How about this one? Has anyone done this before?
with the camshaft?

DZR tests are available, but I am not currently aware of any dynamometer runs.

@Jan,

It's likely half the truth, but the focus shouldn't be on the RPM at rated power (those 250 RPM are irrelevant), but rather on the difference between the maximum torque and the torque at rated power. If the AJM engine delivers a powerful 315 Nm of torque around 2000 RPM, and then the torque drops significantly according to the mathematical curve until rated power, that creates a different experience compared to an older VP engine that only produces 235 Nm.

If, during the AJM test around the year 2000, the bull with 315 Nm of torque "attacks" you, and then, according to the mathematics, the torque drops sharply to the nominal value...

Yes, 310 Nm (315 Nm doesn't seem to be a standard VAG PD catalog value, as far as I know) at 2000 rpm corresponds to roughly 65 kW, which is 76% of the maximum power output of 85 kW.

This engine (IIRC, its name is ATJ?) is therefore already relatively close to a "constant power" machine: as long as the engine speed remains between 2000 and 4000 rpm, the acceleration at full throttle is always the same, regardless of the gear .

This particular tendency is hardly noticeable in the AFN or ASV engines: in a direct comparison, they feel much more like powerful gasoline engines, where downshifting is rewarded with significantly more power.

As long as the engine speed remains between 2000 and 4000 rpm, the acceleration at full throttle is always the same, regardless of the gear.


I don't want to leave it like that, even though I lack the physics knowledge and background information.

When I was given the first BMW (150 hp 2.0L CR), I was surprised by how lifeless it felt at low RPMs (up to 2000 RPM) and how powerful it became at higher RPMs (up to around 4300 RPM).

So, back then, I was used to the ARL engine, and I overlaid the torque/power diagrams of both engines to understand the difference. And indeed, the BMW engine doesn't reach its maximum torque of 330 Nm until 2000 rpm. However, this torque remains constant up to exactly 3000 rpm. Only then does the curve gently decrease towards 4000 rpm, until it intersects with the curve of the ARL engine.

The ARL had already reached its maximum torque of 320 Nm (a single peak, not a plateau) well before 2000 rpm, but then it started to decrease immediately, and dropped significantly above 2500 rpm. (According to my recollection, it only produced around 290 Nm at 3000 rpm).

So, when you add up the area under each torque curve, you get the same total area. The BMW starts to show its advantage from 2000 rpm, while the ARL reaches its peak torque earlier, up to 2000 rpm. And that's exactly how it feels!

From 4000 RPM, VAG kills the engine's power (due to the ship diesel compromise, PD?), while at BMW, the torque curve can continue to rise normally.

Therefore, I am initially relating the perceived acceleration only to the actual torque, independent of the power, which is the rotational speed. But of course, I am happy to be convinced that my considerations are flawed .

Hi,

Acceleration is achieved through power, not just torque (otherwise, the TDI's pull would decrease when downshifting, because it loses torque at higher RPMs ).

My quote doesn't refer to real TDI engines, but to a genuine constant-power engine.
For example, it should have the following specifications: 425 Nm of torque at 1900 rpm, and a maximum power output of 85 kW, with a consistently decreasing torque curve in between.

I had already suspected something similar.

While I experience less torque on the shaft at high RPM, the shaft spins much faster, so the reduced torque can be 'effectively compensated for by the high RPM.'

What makes me suspicious is, for example, the electric motor. It would be a constant-torque motor, which provides a constant force (in G-units) throughout its operation because it has a defined torque from 0 to maximum RPM, even though the power is constantly increasing.

Furthermore, I would like to incorporate my experiences with the AAZ engine into the discussion. In my case, it was actually the case that constantly shifting between 4th and 5th gear on the highway didn't achieve anything (and the same was somewhat true for the ARL).

(otherwise, the TDI's pulling power would decrease when downshifting, because it loses torque at higher RPMs).

Perhaps he would do that too, considering that you regain access simply because of the cheaper translation.

I don't have a G-meter, and I don't have K-Power either! But you once had those great driving visualizations in collaboration with a user named Ernst?, where you benchmarked similarly powerful and motorized gasoline engines against diesel engines of the same model.

Without wind resistance, an electric motor that delivers 270 Nm of torque at both 1500 and 3900 RPM should, in my opinion, produce the exact same G-force value during acceleration in each case.

According to your thinking, it should perform better at 3900 RPM.

As I said, I'm only questioning it based on my assumption, and without any background knowledge in physics.

To resolve this apparent contradiction, one must consider the acceleration energy:
W = 0.5 * m * v²
-> Accelerating from a standstill requires more energy than accelerating from a slower speed.
This extra power is provided by the engine, as its output is higher due to a higher rotational speed.

As a result, a vehicle with ARL (presumably referring to some type of acceleration control) accelerates equally strongly at 1500 and 3900 rpm (in the same gear!), assuming there are no speed-dependent resistances.

However, if you downshift so that the engine suddenly jumps from 1500 rpm to 3900 rpm, the increased power will pull the car forward more forcefully, even at a lower speed, despite the same torque.

Well, of course, power and torque are causally related, but what we notice is simply more torque at the drive wheel when downshifting, due to the more favorable gearing, unless it's an AAZ engine.

I'm afraid it's even worse than that:

The user Herwigw is explaining what acceleration actually is.

To the best of my knowledge, there is a slightly more suitable metric that mechanical engineers in this context prefer to use instead of torque: the tensile force margin.

I can't provide formulas, but as far as I understand, the argument against using 'torque' as a measure of acceleration perception is that the moving masses of the motor also create a 'dynamic resistance' to changes in rotational speed. Therefore, a motor with twice the rotational inertia of another will accelerate less well at the same torque.

This would also have an impact because diesel engines require more robust connecting rods, crankshafts, etc. due to the higher combustion pressures, which further complicates the comparison between gasoline and diesel engines.


'It would essentially express something worse than the actual measure of acceleration, namely the force.'

You yourself are writing:

Therefore, a car with ARL (Adaptive Ride Logic) accelerates equally strongly at 1500 and 3900 rpm (in the same gear!), assuming there are no speed-dependent resistances.


You're absolutely right! The work done, which is related to acceleration through force multiplied by distance, is indeed the key. However, for measuring acceleration, we're only interested in the force component acting on the drive wheel. Of course, power is involved, but we don't need to worry about that; our transmission handles it.

'It's just a simple calculation: When do I have more power at the drive wheel, in 4th gear at 2000 RPM, or in 3rd gear at 3000 RPM? That's what I'm wondering, anyway...'

completely ignorant and stubborn

It returns the plausible value for the G-force.

Without considering any frictional resistance, the statement is generally correct and does not contradict my other answers.

Hi Ulf,

These tests are yours. Could you provide some numbers?
