Thread: soft dash adr's

This may sound harsh, but from what I've seen here you don't have the ability to check the calculations.
The torque curve on the graph is wrong. So is the hand annotated rpm.

Can you convert power to torque using rpm? You certainly couldn't a few posts earlier.

320 lb-ft = 434nm

Thank you.
NA Petrol engines are limited in torque in Nm per litre to their compresssion ratio x10. VE reduces that further.
434Nm is a very good figure for a 2 valve V8.

It's only extremely efficient and high compression petrols that can do more than 100Nm per litre.
Forced induction of course changes that by the density ratio.

But it can't be. Our new mate who's been here two weeks and doesn't know what a 4BD1T is says it's impossible.

This is getting old, would you both just shut up! Please

Well engineer went ok today. Small list, vacuum canister for brakes, weigh vehicle, put lights in rear bar, 1 axle seal, oh and find the bloody chassis number

lol not sure about that last one.... should that be difficult?

What do you mean by vacuum canister?

Chassis number - drivers side, just forward of the front shock mount - for me at least.

Got your engine number? Partly obscured by passenger side front engine lifting lug.
