The curve to me looks like the one from the 195ft-lb, 175hp 2.0t engine. Did you see the actual 2.0T curve?
Still, it's definitely more peaky than the old 9-3 torque curve.
I scaled up the given torque curve linearly to come up with a rough estimate for comparing the old 9-3 engine to the new one.
If we integrate the torque vs. RPM, the old 205hp 9-3 gives about 8.5% higher output versus the 2.0t in the 2003. The 2003 2.0T however gives about 4% higher output than the old 9-3. Then again, it's about 5% heavier!
So if they do the gearing right on that 6spd, the '03 might be able to keep up with or beat the '02. We need those gearing numbers!
Anybody know whether T8 operates on a "torque target" methodology like T7, or a "boost regulation" one like T5? Did they do anything to reduce lag in the new engine?
Thanks Tony!
