Will These Turbos Suit My Appication?

definately does make a difference, power is travelling through more parts of the drivetrain hense loss of power there.. power delivery

your theory is correct....in theory.

in the real world this is how it works...500kw transfered through a component will produce a certain ammount of heat and this is the power loss. 350kw transfered through the same component will produce less heat and therefore less losses. So transfering 500kw through two diffs one seeing 150kw and the other 350kw will disperse heat and losses in the same way as 500kw through one item.

Forget the theory's though....ive done it on several dyno's in different cities and its a very minimal difference between 2WD and 4WD....end of story!

You are wrong....we have proved this theory on more than one occasion in front of hundreds of people at Autosalon. The difference in a 500AWKW car.....2KW.

Ok, I know we're off topic quite a bit, but it must be said... I don't like saying anything on forums unless I know I'm 100% correct. And, no matter how much I argue the point, I'm only ever going to get flamed by people here that don't know what they're talking about. It's just the anonymous nature of forums unfortunately.

I have seen on many occasions, particularly GTR Skylines, especially R32's, where I have seen 600HP AWD cars make an extra 50HP in RWD mode.

As an example, a particular car down south, makes 990 AWHP and when run on the same dyno, because the ramp-up rate is so much more aggressive in RWD mode, it makes around 1200HP before it wants to turn the rear tyres.

Talk to any tuner in Australia worth their salt, and they will all tell you the same thing.

the dyno they were refering to earlier was a Mainline at Autosalon...this phenomenon of higher readings in RWD does not work on a dynolog dyno...fullstop end of story. Dyno dynamics dyno's yes will read higher if the proper ramp rate is not used (a trick ive employed to win Dyno Dynamics dyno comps in the past by torque splitting minimal front drive)

Ill now shut up as ive got no idea what im on about as im extreemely inexperienced and know nothing.

[R31Nismoid]

Well....

LOL

of course it does! How about you get away from your keyboard for a moment, and actually pull two dyno runs, one a 2WD dyno and one on a 4WD and post up the differences in power delivery and torque curve and try to tell me otherwise...

Seeing as though Paul posted above... what you do you have now?

And its not the first time this been the case either, enough threads on it now to backup the fact there is MINIMAL difference.
