fischmama Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Nice! Why did you dyno yours in 5th gear if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeast Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Nice! Why did you dyno yours in 5th gear if I may ask? It was the dyno operators choice, I stated that it should make 400bhp, he didn't want the tyres to spin up so did both runs in 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I looked at the dyno logs. Curious as to how the dyno measurement system differs from ours, some of you (yours in particular) seem to generate significantly higher torque than (impressive, BTW) BHP numbers - I would have thought the relationship would be closer (since HP is extrapolated from torque, no?) The % difference between WHP & BHP seems high for a manual trans, FWD. I'd just like to better understand how they differ from US dyno recording. Ours show HP/Torque crossover point @ 5252rpm..

fischmama Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 My fear is that if the run was done in 5th the numbers may vary more than they should. From my expirence the dyno operator always chooses the gear closest to 1:1 ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
