Compression ratio
Calorific value (energy of the fuel)
Stroke length
Combustion speed
Turbo boost pressure
All of these are higher in a diesel, thus the greater torque value.

You can get the same torque out of a gasoline engine per liter as the diesels make. My little 2.7 puts out 148 pound feet per liter. Fords 6.7 puts out 156 T per litter Chevy’s 6.6 it’s 146 and the standard 6.7 Cummings it’s 131 their high output diesel puts out 160 per liter. So you can get the same power out of a gasoline engine if the engine is designed strong enough and you have enough boost. The boost in my Ecoboost goes up to 20 PSI.
