FTO AUSTRALIA

Just wondering how much KW your fto has guys. KW atw or whatever.

I don't actually know, but when I use my flux capacitor and hitt 88 mph I leave firemarks on the road, and end up in 1960!

Seat of the pants, G-Tech and mathematical calculations (of trap speed etc at the drags) estimate mine at about 300 horse at the wheels. Wish I had time to dyno the fucker, would really like to know

I have 134 killer wasps.......at the moment muwhahahaha

109.2 last dynoed

Was about 126kws on the old motor. 158kws with the nos on.

Hopefully will be 330 give or take on the new one.

Dunno, never dynoed mine, never needed to cos I havn't done any substantial mods to it

Mines 112kw atw

not sure does someone want to give a guess at mine?

6A12 Mivec and its a Manual
Full 2.75inch exhaust with straight through cannon.
Magnaflow Metal High Flow Cat
LSD
RPW Extractors
Cold Air Intake with a feed to the front bar and its boxed up now
HKS SuperPower Flow Pod with the UAS Intake pipe
Bald Tyres

111kw ...

hey amacha buddy how are the extractors going mate. feel anything sound any different

hey guys can u also post the mods u have in your car?

ben what did u have in your old motor?

my goal is 150 NA...

Sorry to seem stupid but is there a way of converting KW to bhp? I have no clue how powerful ye guys cars are cause we only speak in bhp.

google says 1 kw = 1.34 horsepower.... but as the dyno measures atw kw, it'll be ehp (effective hp) not bhp... i think

Multiply Kilowatts by 1.34 to get bhp.

Cheers for the explanations.
Am I right in thinking that the heat in the Southern hemeisphere has an effect on the performance of engines due to the air being hotter? Dyno runs here put the FTO at close enough to its factory stated bhp, (minus a few for age and if its tiptronic). And if we needed to increase the engine performance even very slightly, then one of the first things is to put in a cold air feed, hence me thinking that the heat may have a slight effect.

sure does mate heat is EVIL

Yeah fully qld is bullshit the day i got mine dyno'ed it was f&*ken hot.

Also no heat shield on the pod

Yep. Was proven many years ago, the air in the UK is heaps denser & colder than here.

The poms have a bad habit of calling everything "BHP" where in actual fact, BHP stands for Brake Horse Power - which means, measured at the wheel. So the term BHP is equivalent to our term ATWKWS (at the wheel kws.)

And yep, 1 kw = 1.34 hp

To calculate between flywheel kws and at the wheel kws (on a 2 wheel drive car) you generally subract a 3rd of total flywheel power, to find at the wheel power. Same goes for finding BHP from HP (or ehp as you called it.)

Example, an FTO from the factory make 150kws at the flywheel
A 3rd of 150 is 50, therefore 150 - 50 = 100. And 100atwkws is what most stock FTO's roll up on the dyno.

If you to use HP, then multiple 150kws by 1.34 = 200hp.
A 3rd of 200hp is about 66, so 200 - 66 = 134hp which is what a stock FTO should make at the wheels in HP.

This makes sense when you look at the rolling road table on FTOOC. The 3 highest HP figures (measured at the wheels) are 163, 155 & 152. So the guy with 163hp has increased from the factory 134 by 29hp. No doubt done with mods like air intakes & exhausts etc. In our langauge, 163hp = 122kws. We have guys here that have made around that.

very nice infomation there bennoz, my friend last dyno my car it shows 105kw -_- seems slow
