I was watching the video of your car on the dyno and couldn't figure out why the the hp and tq didn't cross at 5252?


I found this confusing as well, but it really isn´t
Smiler
That sheet has two scales, Hk (or hp) on the left from 0 to 700, and Nm on the right side from 0 to 1210. If you instead would have a single scale showing Hk and Nm from, e g, 0 to 1210, the lines would cross at 7024 rpm. Why 7024?
Because 1 ft lbs = 1.34 Nm and 7024/5252 = 1.34

So, in this case with Nm, the lines would never cross, because the engine doesn´t rev that high.

Makes sense?
