Turbo power figures and 1/4 mile times
Any chance you chaps with Turbos could post up your dyno figures and 1/4 mile times if you have them please?
If you could post up what boost you were running too that would be great.
Any NA FTO's with decent power figures too, in fact all welcome - post away.
Why?
1) Well it's good info to have on here.
2) I've built a little calculator and put it on my site, the formulas are from a couple of places and i've added some factors in of my own too and I want to see how it measures up to the real world before I start adding extra stuff to it.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: Turbo power figures and 1/4 mile times
Best dyno figure was about 230kws at front wheels.
Never actually run it at the drags, but we did a 400m drag simulation on the dyno & it ran a 12.8

Re: Turbo power figures and 1/4 mile times
Thanks Ben, my estimate is probably slightly off then if the dyno simulation is anything to go by as I got a 12.05 for you.
And Batty ran a real 12.4 with his VR4 engine when it was still twin turbo and similar power I think so I need to tweak things, maybe add some traction factor in for higher horsepower.
Cheers

Re: Turbo power figures and 1/4 mile times
yeah thats what I turboed for was after torque not kw as such, was a matter of having right turbo for the job spools up quick and holds throughout rev range although wouldnt hold more that 14psi if I put a 6a13 block in would have to put in larger turbo to run more boost

Re: Turbo power figures and 1/4 mile times
Could go wider to a 235 but 225 ok they are sticky tyres once got the heat in them, thought about AWD but thats as far as I got

Re: Turbo power figures and 1/4 mile times
I've been tweaking the tool based on other figures that i've sourced and just re-ran yours Ben, came out 12.68 on stock tyres and 12.37 on semi-drags.Bennoz wrote:Best dyno figure was about 230kws at front wheels.

Even that aside 230 wheel kws is bloody impressive., do you know what boost that was at?

Re: Turbo power figures and 1/4 mile times
Cheers Ben, that's helped with the power / boost estimate although this is a very vague area but works for lowish boost.

If anyone wants to look at my tool and access to it from here is allowed then you can check it out here: http://www.ftosupercharged.com/#!simula ... ures/c191l
Mods:Feel free to remove it if i'm flouting the anti-promote your own website rule (I think it's cool so maybe gets away with it), I won't be miffed if it goes.
I wouldn't mind a bit of feedback (free testing) too and let me know if anythings not quite right, would appreciate that.
Cheers
