In 2 stroke diesels, some of the boost is used to scavenge the cylinders. At low rpm/low boost, the intake ports and exhaust valves need to be open long enough to do this. Would variable exhaust valve timing be more beneficial in achieving higher cylinder pressures at full power/high boost than a larger turbo? Do any 2 stroke diesels do this?
