Did this RR not give flywheel figures?

 

[rt172]

Nope. But I suppose flywheel doesnt count for much...

[lofty]

brun,

the 98 BHP in your profileis that at the wheels? thats very very good if so for an RT, whats the spec these days?

 

[lofty]

i mean 93, same comment goes though,

also have you got any pics of youyr car with the re-furbed alloys on?

 

[BRUN]

nah thats my estimate?..calculation of fly wheel figure

here is my car

based on what the others were using, divide by 0.8, i come out at 92.5....rounded up nicely to 93

im impressed with my torque, its apparently only 79 at the fly standard

 

[willy148]

if this 0.8 figure is right,im runnin 171.25 at the fly to be precise with only zorst and panel filter,think this equation needs confirmin,sorry to upset people hopin for higher figures,im happy )

 

[Captain Slarty]

NO !!!!!

the 0.8 figure is NOT accurate, it is a simple guide.

there are so many variables to rolling resistance that you cannot use a set figure. The only figure that matters is the one at the wheels.. dont get carried away with inflated or guesstimate figures.

Joe.

 

[viceroy]

Yeah, very nice score Brun.

Almost at 1.4 16V levels.

Now I just need to find the cash to do my car properly

 

[BRUN]

ah right, cheers Joe, wouldnt every car have a different loss too ?

(im keepin my 93bhp est in my profile hehe)

 

[BRUN]

anymore graphs guys ?

Des,

I dont think you can directly link to geocities images, better to put a link to it instead, or I can host it for you if you like.

 

[matt4478]

Am I reading the torque figures of these right? Desmondo has about 130lb/ft, Rhys about 126lb/ft and MarkB 124lb/ft... Surely that aint right? I thought the 172 should have quite a bit more than that?

Sorry if Im being a bit of a and not reading the graphs right!

Matt
