Horsepower Drag

[Turbine]

Anybody got any ideas as to how much Horsepower is absorbed by the torque converter and trans on these cars.

My guess is around 60HP at full noise.

well stock auto vs manual was a 9kw loss from the factory if i recall the specs correct.

doesnt help a lot, but i thought of it none the less

A friend was telling me recently that the rear wheel power changed when he changed the stall converter. So perhaps you need to state the size of the stall?

[2rismo]

Not the size of the converter that matters here. More the % that it is built to slip.

just varies on the right stall setup

I will post up my loss when i get it on the dyno maybe sunday

or monday

[Turbine]

No worries guys.

The STALL speed is supposed to be 300RPM. On the dyno it seems to lock at around 4500RPM (boost sets in at around 3000RPM as well).

When you say % of slip, that is not a good thing (it's ment to stall not slip). Depending on how efficient the converter is it may SLIP between 3 - 8% engine speed vs drive speed. But it should lock once over the stall speed.

So what do you think?

stall size has more of an effect on torque and when torque is made and to a lesser extent the hp as 2rismo said, depending on the amount of slip. more slip less hp
