I have a big question...
Why do the factory horsepower is less than the dyno charts that some people post... and they already put an intake or headers?

 

Please rephrase your question.

 

the factory horsepower is higher that the horsepower that some people's cars with K&N intake or DC Sports headers... i don't know why?

 

factory is rated at the flywheel. dyno's mesuare your bhp at the wheels, so there is going to be bhp loss due to the transmission and other things driven by the engine (alternator for instance)...

 

mmmmmmmmmm.... sorry about my ignorance... but can you define... flywheel?

 

difference to how much your actual engine produces to what is transfered to your wheels.......

 

so... the engine produce 160 hp... but it trasfer to the wheels less than that?

 

... also the weight of the wheels plays an important factor on how much torque and power is transfered to the ground. The heavier the wheels the more energy required to overcome their inertia, therefore less power transfered to the ground.

 

its to early to bring out the big words.... hahaha just kiddin..... but yea so thats basiclly why peepz who like to race get lighter wheels, dont put systems in there car, strip there interior before they go to the track.............. thats why i bought some light ___ wheels......... oh yea...

 

what about the torque of the tc? it has more torque than hp... this is rare to seen in a car... do i'm right?

 

i dont know..... do you right?

 

if you don't know... why do you post it?

 

Hey, Leave the poor guy alone. If I knew the answer to your question, id answer it. Perhaps someone with more knowledge than I could step in and help

not, its not uncommon to see torque the same or slightly higher than hp. it depends on how the manufacturer wants the engine to perform.

 

All diesel engine's have mounds of torgue and in some cases less than half the horsepower.

 

They posted 160 b/c that's what the engine is capable of
producing at the flywheel.

In auctality, the tC only produces mid 130's-140 at the wheels.

 

the engine produces 160hp 163tq at the flywheel
put it this way, the engine makes that much power. just the engine itself.

now put in the master cylindre, clutch, tranny, axles, drivtrain, wheels, as you can tell that is a lot of metal and lots more stress. so the HP will be less at teh wheels.


TQ being higher or lower or the same as HP is all in the engines design of crank, rod length, piston compression ratio, and cams

 

Do a dyno run w/ a stock tC, you wont see 160hp

I've seen tC do dyno runs w/ an intake and they barely clear 130hp

 

thats what he said, the engine puts out 160. but at the wheels is making around 140-150 (130 must have been auto)

 

i actually DYNO'ed my car

140HP 150TQ
