Which Isuzu owner is closest to a dodgey dyno? I reckon in low range we can get torque measurements well into 5 figures.:D

You fail to tell the whole story... this was after I had already swiftly round house kicked it to the head...

In fact, I have a text book here which uses metric and imperial units in the same equation!!!

I think just as many people (if not more) don't understand how dyno's work either...

And a lot don't know the difference between metric and SI :twisted: - just being my normal pedantic O.B. self.

Indeed! Though I must admit the cgs unit system is often useful in my field.

Hahahaha did it also gain 500hp when it rained ? Yeah I don't believe the things...

700Nm? That's nuffin'

This patrol made 1309Nm before it threatened to break the dyno...

I see some still think that 700Nm might be believable/achievable. My earlier post pointed out that If the power was as stated, then the torque was in error, or if torque was as stated them power was in error. Perhaps those people couldn't see that connection for some reason!

Engine dynos, measure torque over a range of rpm, then calculate power from those values. Chassis dynos do much the same, but the problem is the reduction in the gearing increases the torque (measured at the tyre tread), and there are losses between the engine and tyres. When the measured/calculated values are referred back to the engine, the results are open to error.

A diesel engine produces a torque vs rpm curve that has a shape that will somewhat follow the shape of a curve of volumetric efficiency vs rpm of the engine, i.e. the peak torque very nearly occurring where VE is greatest and falling at high rpm as VE drops. Power still increases as torque drops while rpm increases.

When performance of diesels is increased, the torque curve is similar just moved up. So if the torque was increased to 700Nm, it should still be at nearly the same rpm, and the shape should be similar. Then for 700Nm torque the power would have to be much greater than quoted, unless the torque dropped dramatically (unrealistic) from the rpm where it peaked.

Auh ok I quickly read it and thought there was a typo all good now....this is quite amusing this thread :D in the end it isn't true because there's no pictures/videos

419rwkw and 1309Nm on 14psi boost.
