Think you better check some specs. Show me one tractor engine that has more power in the diesel version (non turbo) versus gas - when they have the same bore and stroke. Bet you cannot name a single one.
In fact, when tractor companies sell tractor models by their power, e.g. like a "33 horse tractor", the diesel version often has to be BIGGER just to make the same power as the gas version.
For example- Deere 1020 uses a 135 gas or a 152 diesel to make the same power.
And a Deere 1010 uses a 115 gas engine or a 144 diesel to make the same power.
With cars and trucks? GM made the 379 diesel to equal the power and torque of the 305 gas engine.
Take two Ford tractors with the 172 engines - gas and diesel. The gas has more power.
I could name examples to make my point all night long.
Show me even that makes your point and shows a non-turbo diesel making more power than an equal sized (bore and stroke) gas engine.
