KARMANN 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Iv read somewhere that BHP=Torque x Rpm / 5252 Is this correct? If so when the RPM reading reaches 5252 Rpm surely the torque and Bhp should cross eachother on a graph-ie,read the same. Is this correct? The reason i ask is that i recently had a RR session at a meet and my figures along with quite a few figures from other cars were way of previous figures-done only weeks before.

Trig 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Yes that is correct.. http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/868/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KARMANN 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Good thats as i thought!! I only really looked at my 2 print outs of my runs today and they have the torque and bhp crossing at 3200 Rpm im guessing this basicaly affects the reading? I paid £20 at BEDROCK and they derived figures of 176Bhp and 235lbf-ft for my VR6. I know from previous RR days that it should always be around 200 ish for each.So i was pissed of when seeing these figures-the guy in charge suggested a service-when i get my fcukn hands on him he will be needing a fcuk service.........from an ambulance.

Trig 0 Posted February 20, 2006 If the lines aren't crossing at 5252 then the curve is wrong mate. Get your money back! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KARMANN 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Im from Airdrie mate-wasnt impressed by the way the day was ran. frazer i knew my car had more power than yours didnt relise it had that much more 201.5 bhp 195t :2gunfire: Erm but that was before you rebuild back to standard and your little "accident" and remembering the figure on the day were completely bogus.

dr_mat 0 Posted February 20, 2006 By the way, if your read-out is a power-at-wheels graph, it won't cross at 5250.. only power-at-crank will cross at 5250 rpm ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
