that 'wheel speed/rpm/gears graph' thread
Turbo Mini Forums

Im looking for that thread where people were dicussing different f/ds and posting up graphs showing wheel speeds in differnet gears etc

Trying to determine which f/d will give me the right 2nd/3rd shift spot.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Joe

Joey send me your info and I'll do the "gear cascade" for you. need torque curve gear ratios/ tyre and final drive(s)

cheers

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

ha john, you must be having a laugh!

i have no torque curve, infact i havent any torque full stop! (yet)

thanks though, one day when i have a mini that runs ill take you up on the offer :)

Joey,

I think this might be the one ?

Also John did this for me, the gears are run from 2000 rpm to 7000 rpm, I guessed the torque curve, key points - 120 lb/ft at 3000rpm, max torque 135 @5500, max bhp 140 @5500, holding good torque to 7000 were I've used 90 lb/ft. reasonable for a well developed turbo motor? the figures in the chart are at the wheels - a 20% drop from flywheel figs was used. based on the torque curve you can see the additional accelerative force avaialble if you used a 3.44 in place of a 3.2 for not a lot of drop in speed in the gears. If someone has a "real" torque curve of around 140bhp we could input this to compare diff ratios more accurately



Hope this helps

Cheers

Brocky

id have thoughut that if pk bhp is 55 then pk torque would be more 4 to 45 ish ?

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