I spoke to my lecturer today, he maintains that overboosting and compressor surcharge is the same. However he also incorrectly explained VTEC so I'm discounting his information. I have ammended my article, for all those who want maths on parts, do it yourself, I don't have any info on the materials used so I cannot work out stresses and no. of cycles to fatigue failure etc. More importantly it is meant to be a SIMPLE SUMMARY, not an in-depth analysis, and yeah i got some experience, try 9 psi on a 7afe corrolla being fine and 12psi throwing a rod and punching a hole in the crank case. I also work designing parts for a fluid couplings firm, so yes, I am an engineer whether i have a piece of paper with "MEng Hons" written on it or not. If anyone wishes to continue to piss and moan, I don't care so save it, as long as my information is now correct.
