***copied from an un-named forum***




Went to the place AB Garage its called.. What a day!!... firstly the blokes were great and really friendly. Secondly they know all about minis and the various engines fitted to minis!!, when i got their they had a mk2 escort 2.0pinto running twin webbers!..

When i got my mini on the rollers, he had to change the needle to a ABY needle and tweek my timing slighly... just to find out that my engine (the sprite engine) was built to do only about 50bhp!!.. so i was a bit down when he told me!!. But i still let him sort out all of my flat spots and get her running good!!, got..

39bhp at the wheels @3200rpm (thats my peek!! )
113ft lb of torque @ 3200rpm

my peek torque was amazingly!! 139ft lbs!! @ 2000+rpms!!

I think the rollers need calibrating.

113ft lb x 3200rpm / 5250 = 68 BHP

what you mean youv never seen a steam engine mini ??boot full of coke and good to go ,that big shiny flywheel in the passenger seat is a bit of a hazard ,specially when trying to tune the radio.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

But that would mean he only had 13 ftlbs at 3200 (and that's only 8 bananas)

The torque a nd power plots do not cross at 5252rpm!!!!!

That should ring alarm bells right away

Hang on guys, ive just had a thought.

Maybe this RR operator didnt dow the power run in fourth gear.

The torque is what is measured at the wheels and then the rpm of the roller is measured, you can then calculate the power at the wheels then with the run down losses calculate a reasonable crank power figure and torque.

What if that torque figure is for second gear, for what ever stupid reason???!!!!!

That is more like the figure id expect

That is exactly what happened I suspect.

I know I had a RR operator try doing that to me - when he thought I didn;t know my elbow from my anus...
