Is it me or does 243lb/ft seem not that great when its making 289bhp? Probly my understanding of it but I would have thought the torque would be similar if not greater than bhp

That torque figure does seem low. My STi 4 made 295/265 with HKS superflow induction kit and GD cat back exhaust.

beer fueled gang bang anyone

Its the real me now btw.... GEt Off Woman :>

anyway... yeah, Torque does seem quite low, BUT the only way the final BHP is so high is due to the revs.... its plotted upto 8000rpm

BHP = torquexprm/5024 (cant r'ber exact formula right now)

so... the higher the rpm, with a decent level of torque will give higher BHP

They could have taken it to the redline and got 290+ in my opinion.... pussies

ØÆÅ ken

Its like a bloody oven down here... so, so, so hot outside its unbearale

figure i get from above results is 5323, which does ring a bell

235.9 x 6000 / 268.9 = 5323

yup.... Not sure if the values about were corrected or not (DIN temp or whatever)

If it was RR'd sin winter i'd expect a higher final BHP etc

Still think its a bity wank that there aren't any at the wheel figures!

dastek...... hmmmm
