Its not torque, its tractive effort which is a multiplication of the torque through the gearbox, final drive etc.

Tractive effort will be higher than the engines torque.

That does seem very high too.

A logical explanation is that the power was really hp at the wheels which would calculate to be ~150kw at the wheels. That is the sort of figure that makes more sense.

Then the fresh rebuild with...

Correction. it would have been good to see what times the car did down the qurater. That would have told the power story. But we will never know now. :(

I've been trying to reconcile the power figure and the mods and I just can't see how it can make that much power with such simple mods. By those figures it is making more power than the Alcorns K20...

So on a Dyno Dynamics dyno it would be about 170kw. Thats not bad.

Surely the bottom end is not standard? And what compression ratio? It must be fairly high....

:thumbsup:

It has a standard H22A with a ported and shaved head (comp around 10.5:1). Everything else is standard including the headers and inlet manifold. The only other mods are a cold are feed with bellmouth...

I have no idea.

They have never had any problems with any other cars and there are cars on there all the time. The dyno shows true power figures, not some of the happy figures that show up on other dynos. Apart from...

I can guarantee you the dyno isn't dodgy. And the power figures are correct. :)

BTW, the EG made just over 130kw the same day.
