Article on Dyno Drivetrain Loss

[DynoDave]

so the article is accurate if i'm not reading dave's words wrong?

Alright i'm shakey in mathematics, but

if

%Loss x 160kw = 119.38kw at wheels

this means

the "rule of thumb" % loss = 1- (119.38/160) = 25% (rounding up)

so using this as an example

in other words a stock b16a (which everyone is so obsessed about) in from factory specs shoudl be putting out

118 flyheel figure x 0.75 = 88.5 kw at wheels

in my personal experience this is accurate as i dyno'd 89.9 kw at wheels when my car was stock except for a intake box

So there you go another good piece of information the way this forums going these days I will not have to say anything anymore.
