Stay Tuned!!

[ROB-80E]

I'm excited!! After having my car off the road for over a week due to a stuffed radiator, my new one arrived yesty and has been fitted! :D

On an even better note, I was able to get my car booked in to be be tuned after fitting my new injectors and fuel pump a couple of weeks ago.

So yeah, I'll let ya's know how i go! ;)

[Rupewrecht]

you got an auto radiator didnt you? whats the difference?

[chicaboo]

Maybe he's using the inbuilt oil cooler in the auto radiator for his engine?

[ROB-80E]

The SP astina radiator is 16mm, the automatic radiator is 26mm in thickness. It's got a ****load more cooling capacity....needed when you got an engine putting out over 200hp and it's sitting behind an intercooler and tranny cooler. Oh, and no I'm not using the cooler in the bottom tank for engine, I'll be implenting it with a front mounted tranny cooler so I'll have the bonus of both..

[Rupewrecht]

Aha! Might have to investigate a BA auto radiator then...

Anyone with a BA auto 1.8 feel like measuring theirs? :)

[Cosmo Dude]

And then you can measure the depth of your radiator ;)

[ROB-80E]

I love my tuner!! :D:D The only thing I don't like is that he falls short of my aim by didly squat!! lol

A dyno run/tune is not complete without it's problems. Mine was that I couldn't boost over 16psi. My boost contoller is playing up or stuffed or both and wouldn't let me go any higher. So yeah, below sheet is a 16psi. My low boost has also been bumped up to around the 10psi mark and making around the 180-190hp mark.

Oh yeah, check out the torque!!! :D

[Shaggy]

Nice curve Rob :D

[boostedbatman]

Robs got all the curves in the right places
Nice one

[Rupewrecht]

velly nice!

[Nate]

torquey torquey munchie munchie boxy boxy

nice figures :D

kw would be nice :p

[boostedbatman]

Nate you have a calculator on your computer so why dont you just divide the figure by 1.34
I will save you some time 218.7/1.34= 163.21kw
Does this satisfy you???

And to think that in my day the teachers would tell you to work it out by hand (can anyone say Long Division) and now look at the kids of today.........................

[ROB-80E]

Thanks guys.

Yeah Nate, I got to get my other box in real soon!! I don't think it's going to appreciate the extra 150lbs of torque and 22hp.

Hey, does anyone know a sucessfull conversion factor for the torque?? I'm pretty sure it's just in Pounds (force), not ft lbs, so yeah, I haven't found a successful conversion to Nm. Everyone keeps asking me how many Nm it is.

[lil_astina]

yeah i think its
1 ft lbs is 1.355818 nm
hope that helps

[boostedbatman]

yeah i think its
1 ft lbs is 1.355818 nm
hope that helps
According to http://www.primatics.com/units.htm these figures are correct
if 1 lbs-ft = 1.355818 Nm
Then Rob is putting out : (he he)
1040 ft lbs = 1410.05 Nm :eek:

Now lets consider that the figure is based on lbs-m
then all you have to do is convert the figure by factoring in how many feet are in a metre then you will have the correct figure
If 1 metre = 3.281 ft
Then the figure will be 1410.05 / 3.281
Which equals 429.76 Nm (which seems more accurate but that is only if we are working from lbs/m)

[twilightprotege]

that is not ft-lb torque. that would be dyno dynamic's tractive effort measurement. it can be converted into ft-lb or Nm

[ROB-80E]

Yeah i'm not sure exactly what the dyno's work on....I knew it wasn't foot pounds though. As the batman said, 1410Nm!! Wow, that's up there with trucks! hahaha

Twilight, is batmans conversion right? Or is there something else that needs to be found out?

[twilightprotege]

need to find wtf they are measuring.

however, you can always use the hp figure to work out the torque. ft-lb torque = (rpm x hp) / 5252

i think that's it. so at 5500rpm you're making 218hp, torque = 208 ft-lbs, or 283Nm

[ROB-80E]

But doing it that way doesn't measure the peak torque.

Peak torue is at 4000rpm so:- (4000x168)/5252 = 128ft-lbs, or 173Nm.

The graph clearly shows the torque being higher at 4000rpm than at 5500rpm. Or does that equation work out the peak torque anywhere in the RPM range based on the HP reached and at what RPM it made it?

Oh I dunno, this **** is too hard for me!! hehehe

[twilightprotege]

must be torque = (5252 x hp) / rpm then

so = 220ft-lbs or 299 Nm

yeah that's better.
