agree with khoyos.
1 bar is 1 bar is 1 bar. if TD04 and TD05 are running on GSR engine, similiar setup, TD05 will have higher power output (but that doesnt mean that car is faster. other factors like gear ratio, power to weight ratio, transmission loss and driver skill needs to be considered). on the other hand, TD04 will reached peak faster (and did i mention it will also runs out of "steam" faster?).
if we put it on another picture, say TD05 on GSR and TD05 on VR4 both runnin on 1 bar setup, VR4 will have the higher output due to it's displacement. On this scenario, pressure will be the same but cfm will be different.
Below is the formula to calculate cfm;
CFM = air flow rate * Pressure ratio
where;
Air flow rate = [cid (cubic inches diameter, or simply displacement x 0.061) * rpm * 0.5 * Ve] / 1728
Pressure ratio = [14.7 + boost (in psi)] / 14.7
Lets break down the equation above for easier digestion. cid is mat salleh's term for cc. to convert cc to cid, simply multiply cc by 0.061. Ve stands for volumetric efficency. a 2000cc engine will not precisely swallow 2000cc of air at every cycle. This is due to cam overlapping and mechanical efficiency. As we will not be able to accurately obtain the Ve of an engine, a rough guideline between 75% to 85% will be able to do the calculation.
and not forgetting different engine will have different CR, which will also play a role in charting the power output.
