None of those torque figures are accurate unless an inductive RPM pickup was put on the engine, or the derived rpm generated from wheel vs roller speed (not quite as accurate). If you have Killowatts at the Roller and an Engine RPM figure, you can of course calculate a "Derived" Torque figure, remember if you have any 2 of the 3 components of Power (HP)= (TrqFtlbs x RPM)/5252 equation the 3rd can be calculated. Mainline dynos do this very accurately with their excellent RPM pickup, but like any top level chassis dyno they give Derived Torque which is simply Torque at the Rear Wheels (or front or all 4), so essentially it's the Flywheel Torque minus Driveline losses.

If you want a torque figure calculated correctly for any of your cars let me know and I can run them with the RPM pickup in place and generate true derived torque for each vehicle. At least that way you can make accurate comparisons :)

Note when an inductive pickup is used to measure rpm on the older version of DD software that most of you seem to be posting the torque is represented as iNm rather than straight Nm to let you know its been measured with an inductive pickup :D

Yo, Adrian (sorry, I couldn't resist) guess what? Although I didn't have my GTS25t at the recent BW dyno day, not long before that day Shaun did a tuning dyno run that resulted in 302.3rwkw, and pretty much the same torque peak too.

Have I mentioned yet, that I'm keen to get the 780cc injectors fitted, HKS cams dialled in, E85 tune done and then wind the boost up? Hurry up and arrive injectors!

Looks like its got a bit more in it if you were to tweak the ignition and afr's for max power. :)

Afr's in what i would call middle of the range .8 to .85, ignition has had a little tickle, who knows how much is possible with e85, I tend to think it's a flow issue, 1. std comp cover 2. std exh manifold. I think i can discount the valve springs floating, maybe some bigger cams would help!

I'd be interested in that. I know someone that would be interested in Golf GT tweaking too :D

    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
