Late (or any) model 190As used no turbos.

Also who was the manufacturer of the turbo's tested on the fw 190 B and C?

The 190B and 190C were without turbos too?
IIRC BMW made the turbo that was used on the Ju 388 version powered with BMW 801, while Hirth was the producer of the turbo used on the 'Kangaroo' prototype.

Data sheet and graph for late-war Mitsubishi engines. Quality is not the best, but this is still a valuable information IMO. I've tried to re-trace and notify the most interesting graphs separately, FWIW.

Found this while going round and round reading and watching all kinds of german engine stuff, thank you Tomo for another fascinting topic.

I am a bit puzzled by the phrase below from post nr. 23 on the previous page:

We can note that BMW 801C was rated for 2700 rpm for use in Fw-190A-1/A-2, even when compressor is in high gear, but the question of 'when' remains. See the table for the A-1/A-2 here. The 'Drehzahl uber 5km' column states so.
Also please note on that table that fuel specified is C3 ('Kraftstoff C3'), so now we can bury another myth: that greater compression ratio was needed for higher oct fuel to be used on the BMW 801. Of course, the Merlin and plenty of other engines worked fine with lower compression ratios, that always mean more boost can be used before onset of detonation.


Do you mean the BMW-801C engines were running on C3 fuel as well? Also i can't seem to find the A-1/A-2 table (unless i'm blind or something), the link goes to a topic about dive speeds?

Engines will always run on a better fuel. Doing the opposite is tricky.
Unfortunately, I can't find the table that shows the 801C using the C3 fuel to save a life right now.
