Sometimes the torque and horsepower are even but i’ve never seen one make more power than torque. torque curve is almost entirely defendant on which turbo is on it too. Mine has a TD04 so it’s happy down low great for a casual cruiser/daily driver.
Also 6500 is my redline hence why the graph stops at 6466
Ah, that makes sense. It’s not gonna make 25lbs, but it’s gonna spool quick.
Yeah. Simply put there’s more moving parts, so more friction which = more loss.
it’s split 80/20 in full traction and can adjust all the way to 50/50 when traction is broken. And yes between 1.5-2x the amount of power is lost over RWD.
Geez, 1.5-2x. I imagine the spinning weight has something to do with it as well. I suppose the shaft driven bikes have a very similar lose in power to cars as well when compared to the Chain or even belt driven ones.
Probably no one cares haha, but my S10 has (factory specs) 190hp and 250 torque.
I think I heard bikes typically lose a really small amount something stupid like 5% or lower.
5-10 is the number I am general quoted from people. Some like to claim 3%.
I’m a Mazda guy, I like engines that rev to the moon. 
New project goals: Make more power than @soulfallen (yep, calling you out)
Shouldn’t be too hard.
From a Miata.
I could just roll my benz on the dyno and put up numbers in the low 300’s, but that wouldn’t be fun.
at the wheels or the crank? if it’s at the wheels that won’t be too hard since you’ll be using a RWD platform lol. GL making more torque though
At the wheels.
Nah, you’ve definitely got me beat on torque. My car’s rods give up about 260-270, so until I decide to rebuild (at which point, we’re looking at 400RWHP), I’ll be happy with 230wtq.
If you surpass me on power i’ll have no choice but to upgrade my injectors and go to 20 PSI for another 40 horsepower.
Do you have a list of mods for that car?
Looks like at least exhaust and wheels.
Me too!
Though I can appreciate a torquey (doubt I spell that right) engine.
Yeah, that’s why I love the Benz. 303hp, 315tq
No but I can list it best as possible.
