Actual Horsepower

[JMR]

On a standard graph for a petrol engine, when the bhp and torque are plotted on the same scales, the power/torque lines always cross over at 5252rpm.

Interesting fact that.

the crossing point will depent on the units used for measuring the power and the torque

with BHP and foot pounds of torque, it will be 5252 and the left/right scales will mormaly be the same, so 0-150 bhp and 0-150 ftlb

Sorry I meant to add the units.
Its just that we (GB) usually buy cars based on bhp and lb.ft of torque, so I took that as a given.

I'm still not sure if it is at the wheels but I'm sure he said it was and the test was done on a cold day first thing in the morning

But a rr day some where would be good as a club day out and we could make it a charity rr day

[louis]

I think we should try to get it sorted do are bit for charity as a club at the same time

 

[poweller23]

Yh sounds really good to me have to find a place that's got a good name for a rr and is not to bad for everyone to travel to

 

[louis]

Maybe start a chat about it and see what we can come up with

 

[poweller23]

Yh hopefully a few people will be up for it

 

[Araf]

I'd be up for that at SRR - if you don't mind a bit of Wind...

 

[louis]

Yh we need to see if they do deals on rr day for clubs like how much a car where is srr mate

 

[louis]
