    470nm??

    Hi guys,

    I have a ultra Guage blue installed and today i stumbled across the engine NM reading. Thought it looked interesting and id see what sort of torque im putting out.

    Well first let point out some things that may affect this reading:
    -car was just freshly serviced with all new filters etc
    - alive tune
    -alive cooler
    - decat and straight through standard exhaust
    - egr blanked and blocked
    -provent 200 oil air separator
    - snorkel

    Anyway my reading was maxed at 470nm in 5th at 100kmph. Could this be accurate?
    My truck pulls like a train but seriously how accurate is the ultra gauge blue at reading this?

    I'd be getting a second opinion with a dyno.
    I didn't think there was a factory sensor that would read torque per se.
    I think it'd be a function of RPM and factory bore/stroke and stock (or modded) power levels... but real world is you could be vastly off on any of these variables, so data out is dubious at best...

    Yeah i thought that too, however the computer regulates torque output in lower gears to lower levels which increase with every gear. In saying that i will get it dynoed and report back once done.

    Dyno torque is not engine torque though! Multiplied through gearing

    This is true. I wonder does anyone with a standard puma have a reading of 360nm as standard?

    Yes, but gearing is a known quantity and can be adjusted for. 5th gear is 1:1 on the MT85 6 speed gearbag... then it's just a matter of the final drive (diffs).
    Bit easier than an auto box.

    I think nano meters are listed as "N" and newton meters as "NM"..

    The convention is that metric symbols are lower case, except when they are named after a person. Therefore metre is always m and Newton is always N as its named after Isaac Newton.

    Symbol prefixes (which denote the magnitude) are lower case up to kilo and upper case above that. So nano is n and mega is M.

    Therefore a nanometre is nm and a Newton metre is Nm.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    In that case it must be nm.
