Challenge to you import owners...

[Guest Harris92]

Both my car and my girlfriends car make more torque than horsepower.

[Mr.COS]

Just about any turbo car can make more torque than horsepower.

 

You did know that didn't you? smile.gif

[Crash1647545504]

Max Power 141.1 @ Max Torque 182.9 on 18:1 AFR smile.gif in the summit.

 

After I got some more fuel to it I hit Neerly 155HP @ 200TQ

[Guest Rane]

I think the S-13 redtop has 205hp 203torque :-p

You are the only one that has had a problem so far, so shut the fuck up before I do it for you.

 

My intentions for this thread is that I see lots of dyno threads from hopped up imports. Most of them have much more horsepower than torque, which I understand why it is so. However, I wanted to know if any of you produced more torque than horsepower. It just didn't seem like the trend.

not for the summit 1.9 60ft's BIACH

[IPS Mike]

Brett's Z made 365 rwhp and 400 rwtq while near stock with only a couple cheap mods. That was a while ago though, it was making way more then that this past summer...

The new 6.0L powerstrokes.

seen a couple dyno graphs of 6.0l around 400rwhp making peak hp about 3500rpm. not calling you a liar but I would have to see it to believe it.

stock they are 325@3300 & 570@2,000 that's a far cry from 5252

[SpaceGhost]

On a dyno my car makes more Tq than hp. Actually my car really is an import, assembled and made in Japan fresh off the boat....I'm as JDM as they come.

[SilverEvo8owner]

There's an STi coming from Quantum with more tq than whp, both figures in the 400s. I'll see if I can find the dyno thread.

[SilverEvo8owner]

I take that back. 440 lb.ft, 447 WHP. tongue.gif

[Guest stvbreal]

I had to replace the test pipe with a highflow cat and detune to pass emissions here. Currently 351 torque. Slightly higher than the HP. You can add another 100 to it by summertime.

[Doug1647545489]

my motor makes way more torque then hp. A long ass stroke will do that.

If you are talking about small displacement motors, like a honda 1.8L or something, in order to get that horsepower they have to rev much higher. The higher the rev, the larger the difference between the horsepower and torque numbers. When you are talking about a larger displacement motor with the same number of pistons, such as my 2.4, the longer stroke prevents it from revving as high as the 1.8 honda, therefore keeping the horsepower lower than the torque number. It's all about the equation to measure horsepower, like Joel was talking about. My redline is 5600 RPM, obviously it stops making power well before that.

I know why it makes less torque, but I wanted to know who is defying the laws of JDMYO on CR. tongue.gif

I was talking about diesels in particular (which do have long strokes, but more in reference to why they don't rev to 5000 RPM is that the burn rate of diesel fuel is significantly slower than gasoline .

Wrong.

 

The Saturn V stage one equaled 160,000,000 horsepower. Thats about double the amount of potential hydroelectric power that would be available at any given moment if all the moving waters of North America were channeled through turbines.

 

Mmmm. The Saturn V. That one is more of both of them than any other engine ever.

 

Made in the USA.

 

(Ok I'm contributing nothing to this flame thread so I'll go now.)

It's not a flame thread. tongue.gif

I'll bet the Mercury Mystique I've got for sale makes more horsepower than torque. 2.5L V6, it spins to, I believe, 7k RPM.

I wouldnt say it if I hadnt seen it. I've seen them rev 5,000+ on a dyno doing some prototype tuning, not the internet.

is that yours keith? thought you had a t3/t4 or somethin'?

[Mallard]

here's my friends 91 Talon. I'd post my dyno graph but 157hp and 175ft-lbs is far less impressive. Just so you know, he has a dual runner intake manifold so one run was with short runners and the other was long. Once he figures out how to control it it will switch at 4500 rpm, giving him the 370ft-lbs and 322 hp.

[Guest ForcedVR6]

Yep.

 

279 WHP and 290 WTRQ @ 8PSI

SAFC with the vtec controller. Or just get some 'vtec yo' controller.

 

Or I can make something for you.

 

Umm, damn. Just realized you said Talon, everyone always bashes the JDM yo intake saying it gives no gains. I'm assuming that's what this is?
