Hi all,

I just had my car tuned at Hills (awesome tuner btw - thanks to all who recommended them) and got 177rwkw, which I'm damn pleased with. I'd like to know what my torque is though, but the car was dyno'd in 3rd and is giving me insane numbers. I think I saw a thread on this a while back but noone actually said how you can convert the number to the real torque.

Anyway, you can get my dyno sheet at www.ozemail.com.au/~caddies

Anyone know?

I'm sure it's got something to do with the 1.3:1 gearing on 3rd, but dividing by 1.3 certainly isn't giving me correct numbers.

Cheers,

Michael

Yeah I'm still interested in figuring out the flywheel torque too :(

Out of interest what mods have you got and what boost are you running? My intercooler plumbing is killing my power, I'm going to get that sorted early next year. Every mechanic that sees the way the pipes are hooked up with right-angle bends gives me a worse reaction and a bigger speech on how crap it is. Mark's was the worst :D

OK I think I have nailed it. I think the answer to your original question is that your dyno is showing 2.33 times the flywheel torque after losses(I will explain what I mean by that later). I don't know why it's 2.33 but I will explain how I got there.

Firstly the I have used ratios from here which I think are correct. My car redlines at about 100km/h in second so I know the first one I had was wrong. So using this your max power at 129km/h is 6157 engine RPM, which seems fair. At this speed your wheels are doing 1084 RPM. Now given that kw=NmxRPM/9551, that means with 177kW the torque at the wheels is 1559.7Nm at the wheels. Thats impresive.

So I think what the dyno operators do when they set it to display torque at the wheels is reflect this back to the flywheel. eg. Torque=Nm@wheels/(Gear Ratio X Final Ratio). That would give you 274.56Nm at your peak power (you get the same figure if

you put 177 and 6157 into the Nm=kwx9551/RPM formula where RPM is engine RPM). This again seems fair because the torque at peak power at the fly with stock 184kw@6400RPM is 274.59Nm. So you are making about the same torque at the wheels as a stocker at the fly, but slightly less power at the wheels than stock fly power due to the fact your peak is at slightly less RPM.

Here is the spreadsheet with the right gearing. You can put in you tyre stuff, different speeds and power to find torque.

OK, here's a full list of my performance mods -

* HKS Type S FMIC

* HKS Cam Slide Pulley on the exhaust camshaft - 2 degress retarded

* Trust Airinx Pod Filter

* 3" front/dump combo pipe with a separate wastegate line, all HPC coated.

* Fujitsubo twin 3.5" catback exhaust

* Apexi Super AFC

* GFB Bleed valve (14psi)

* GFB Hybrid BOV (not really a performance mod, but it could affect how the car runs I suppose)

I think that's it.

Cheers,

Michael

b2barker,

That all makes a lot of sense. I am glad we finally got this all sorted out. I might copy and edit my dynosheet's Torque scale on the left to reflect what it should be. After all, even if I get it slightly wrong, I'll at least be closer to what it should be.

Cheers,

Michael

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
