[hks-s14]

Go the mighty 4 cylinder's! Even Killer Whales can't catch them!!!

On the torque prinout from the dyno, how does "Lb" relate to Nm?

[skyzerr33]

its pounds of torque just convert it to newtonmetres.

[MearCat]

Of course it's Pounds of Torque! I'm not that daft.

But how does it relate to Nm? ie - what is the conversion factor between Lb torque and Newton-Meters.

[caminperth]

Ref the other Dyno thread.. thats how you convert it.. thats why I said what's shown on the dyno graph probably isn't relative to actual torque.. I think it's some sort of different measurement called "tractive effort".. You'll have to ask our resident dyno operators..

[Dsturbd]

I thought the only way to measure torque was on an engine dyno...but i could be misinformed ... whens the next one

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yes, it is tractive effort, not sure if it can be converted back to engine torque, but at least you have a comparable figure to see what effect mods make to the tractive effort.

[N I B]

Can be converted back but we have to use the tacho to get it right but tractive effort at the wheels is much higher than torque at the flywheel but hp at wheels is less than the flywheel.

This was the First ever Shootout in Perth in Accredited shootout mode.We updated the weather conditions for every car using the weather station on the wall so your readings were very accurate and any body that thinks the readings were wrong can fax their graph to Dyno Dynamics and they can tell you every thing i did right or wrong by the details on the bottom of the page.

I garranty that this was the most accurate Dyno comp ever in Perth.

Awesome day well organized and run.

Couldnt help notice the two highest readings came from 4 cylinder cars.....hmmmm?(stir stir)

Maybe the six cylinder tractors can compete next time!

Damn I should have turned up Just need maybe 1/2 a psi of boost to beat that 344hp

[Bunky_r31]

was a good day

congrats to john for his 299.5hp with his stock turbo'd soarer (not flowed either) only just beaten in 2.5 litre class by big turbo/external gate equipped r33 which beat him by like 3hp hehe

look forward to the next one

[Lozzle]

So when do we see the results!?

[25GTT]

So when do we see the results!?

Yeah do we have a listing of yet of all the winners and power readings? or are we still waiting for the drug test to come through?

P.S Steve thanks for your help the other day! Sly running nicely now!
