Torque and BHP

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Erm but that was before you rebuild back to standard and your little "accident" and remembering the figure on the day were completely bogus.

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 ...
