The other thing that I NEVER see anyong consider in terms of drivetrain losses is ancillary losses. Power figures quoted by car companies are without any ancillaries.
So, we have our 6 cyl falcon putting out 157kW @ the fly. You must take from that approx the following figures. 5kW for P/S pump, up to 15kW for stock zorst system (when you run an engine on a dyno it's very uncommon to have the entire, 2m of factory exhaust complete with cat and mufflers and everything hanging off the engine. The full system can suck up to 15kW), possibly up to 5kW for alternator... depends if they run the engine electrics from an external source. You're losing minimum 15kW from that 157 kW when you put the engine in the car, so the maximum realistic fly wheel figure for the Falcon engine is 142 kW. That 15kW you lose isn't even getting to the flywheel to be lost through the drive train. An even more realistic flywheel power figure for the Falcon engine, especially if it's done a bit of work is more like 135kW. |

actually you will find when ford quoted the 157kw, it wasnt with all the ancilleries.
there was discrepencies back in the day with the 157kw engine underperforming on chassis dyno's and this was due to them not being 157kw *in* the car.

even the load that headlights put on the alt effect overall power. (by tenths of a kw) greater power through drive train = more heat = more losses. same applies with other types of drive train losses

I had to have 3 guys on the back of my car + strapped down ont he dyno to get the power down and even then it still broke traction on the dyno.
Perhaps the 255's aren't wide enough....

hi
a high horsepower car can be properly secured to a chassis dyno and need no people in the boot or back seat there are ways of securing it down on the rollers and illimate tyre slippage cheers

On the dyno last night, mate in his
EF Fairmont Ghia - Pacemaker extractors, 2 1/2" Redback exhaust and hiflow cat Ran 124.3rwkw @ 5200rpm with no intake and with octane boots. My EL Fairmont ghia - Scavenger Extractors, 2 1/2" Mandral bent Exhaust and Hiflow cat Ran 129.3rwkw @ 4900rpm with no intake and with octane boost Does this give you any idea on the power gains from the simple mods. cheers kyle

hi
this is not gospal - jsut a example and its very close to some of the results i get on my dyno *********************************************** Ford factory quoted horsepower / kiwatt figures as follows EF and EL falcon 6 cylinders power = 157kwatts @ 4900 rpm torque = 355Nm @ 3000 rpm these figures are at the flywheel so follow the method i have posted in here in this thread u convert that to rear wheel power and u will get approx 105.2 kwatts so i would expect to see from a stock standard EF or EL 6 cylinder on a chassis dyno approximately 105.2 rear wheel kwatts ************************************************ "EF Fairmont Ghia - Pacemaker extractors, 2 1/2" Redback exhaust and hiflow cat Ran 124.3rwkw @ 5200rpm with no intake and with octane boots. " 124.3 - 105.2 = 19.1 RWKwatts so from the figures u have from the dyno u have maded a 19.1 RWKwatt inprovement on the EF "My EL Fairmont ghia - Scavenger Extractors, 2 1/2" Mandral bent Exhaust and Hiflow cat Ran 129.3rwkw @ 4900rpm with no intake and with octane boost " 129.3 - 105.2 = 24.1 WRKwatt inprovement on the EL

Thast right, the EL is a tickford engine, dont know if there is much differnce between the engines,
but these results are the runs with no pod filter. or no intake. just straight to the throttle body. and it was like 4-5 rwkw loss differnce with the pod filter on. jsut the maximum power to wheels without pod.. cheers.

Fact is, you don't know what improvement was made because there are no dyno figures posted of each car before the exhaust upgrade. There is no way an exhaust upgrade can give you up to 34kW increase @ the flywheel. How about you get a bunch of dyno graphs from YOUR dyno and post them here to prove your calculations instead using 30year old estimates? |

Perhaps the 255's aren't wide enough It looks mad though!!! my housemates 312rwkw VT SS shredded 235's on the APS dyno in frankston, and APS's blue VZ ute shredded 265's on the dyno, at 410rwkw. such a cool thing to watch!
