i know the title can be misleading but what i meant was not old Engine technology vs New engine technology ..
its simple really an Engine with 1000km Mileage (Probably not the best word since im suing Kilometers ) and another with 150000km ..
Is the new Engine better in all aspects than the older one ?
i guess we need a scenario to compare so lets say a Drag race 0 to max speed how would it go ? , assuming both car are in identical condition when it comes to tires and suspension , only difference is the age of the Engine/Tranny/Turbo .. for the sake of Discussion lets assume all the previously mentioned components are regularly maintained and with proper fluids and such .
is there truth to the statement that an older engine that has been pushed to its limits can show more power and speed than one that is still fresh or ist the other way around due to worn parts and such ?
heres a Case for example which we can use to shed some light on the matter .. 2 cars Same engine one with 250000km the other with 1500km , the older one is 1 second slower than the new one in accelerating from 0-160kmh which so far makes sense but then we checked for higher numbers 0-190Kmh (which is somewhat close to the top speed on that Vehicle ) the Results varied as the New engine was 11 seconds faster even though it was only 1 second faster up till 160Kmh ..
this case is actually the reason why im bringing this up , it made no sense to me that both will get similar times up to 160kmh and then something happens that grants the new engine a 10 second lead ..
what are your thoughts on this ?
oh and for those wondering the engines in the case are Turbo diesel ones
