Title: Car Math 201
Post by: Bfunk on June 03, 2004, 05:14:02 PM
Does anybody know how to convert these readings to horsepower and torque?  I forgot how.
160kw
186NM
not a huge deal, just excited to see how much my motor is putting out.

160kw = 214 hp

186NM = 137 (ft lb)

I was wondering when someone would catch that.  It's actually the output for a suzuki 1600 ralley car.  Now I need to find out what they did to achieve those numbers.

Oh, I noticed that, I didn't think it
was a Zuk Motor.

Can you say, Turbocharger, 16 Valve Head
Forged Pistons, and lot's of trick parts and $$
That's how, I'm getting 145 HP from a home brew
system that is pieced together from wrecking yard
parts and an extra EFI computer.

Heaven only knows what I could do with some
$$ and a supply of trick parts   ;D

Hey guys, what kind of HP should I be getting in my stock 91 sidekick? How the hell do you calculate these interesting things??

80 HP at the crank, about 60 to the ground,
use the poor mans dyno, get a 1/4 mile ET
or MPH and the weight of the trucklet with you
included and plug the #s in

Holy shit... isn't 25% drivetrain loss a little high? Even for an auto? I thought the figure was like 10-15%. :-/

I dunno, that's what I figured thru test
runs, go get some 1/4 mile runs and lets
see how you come out, I might have some
drag I need to find, lets see 7" total lift
30" tires and 5.83 gears, should be less ??

Get some #s back to me and lets see
:D

If runs at the local drag strip were free... then maybe... or if there WERE a local strip around here ;D.

I dunno... that's what I've always heard, but I dunno if lift+more weight+larger tires would equate to worse drivetrain loss...

I'm installing the bigger Turbo tomorrow,
then I'll go down to the 1/4 Mile marked
off patch of pavement and see what she
does.  Then I'll post the results, and do
it again when the 3" exhaust goes in   ;D
