frank stromqvist uses rundown :-) Posted by jak [Email] (#195) [Profile/Gallery] (more from jak) on Mon, 23 May 2005 11:23:22 In Reply to: Re: Saabines 281 hp is flywheel hp, not at wheels..., Eric (9-3 Hirsch), Sun, 22 May 2005 12:08:33 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
& dosent realy like the % loss we tend to use here
alot of RWD cars here in the USA have had the engine dynoed on a stand & then been on a chasis dyno & with a hypoid diff they generaly give like 23% losses so because the C900 is verry similar + has a chain in the front of the trans I "guess" like 20%-22% loss thru the drivetrain on the C900 this could still be rong
I do know that transverse tranies like hondas 9000s & NG cars are much more effecient & are generaly thought to create between 13%-15% losses
my car did 246WHP in boston with oil getting pushed from the crankcase vent hose as I had burned a piston on the way up there Ill get it back on the dyno as soon as I get the engine back together in it :-) but with a 20% loss that would have 295.2BHP
I must say though that at these power levels the C900 becomes less than relyable if driven hard & that a lower goal is probably less stressful :-)
take care
JAK
