Yeah, I'm looking at the plots and they don't make sense to me at all.

Glad I'm not alone.

Hopefully all the nutswingers can actually stop hating and maybe try to figure this out so we can confirm whether he really broke any records or proved anyone wrong.

Among MANY other things that really strike me as odd, is anyone else shocked by the fact that a 2560 is holding 22psi to REDLINE? (on an internal wastegate no less )

Unless this turbo is handcrafted from a solid chunk of unicorn semen, and the 1.6 was secretly a mazda F1 engine snuck into this one car, and his IM and TB are secretly enlarged and ported magically, it just doesn't make sense. Am I missing something?

there is too much funny business going on with the upside down dynos.

Those torque numbers gave me a nosebleed.

You can see my attachments I took a few photos and uploaded them a few times, I couldnt get a clearer one up but you can still read it all.


Let the arguments commence. And the backpedaling, that too.


Dann

NOTE, the AFRs were cleaned up a little before it left the shop, however its not a straight line, it made the most torque with most of the swings you see there.
Can you, or anyone else, explain these numbers and how they stack up to what we on this side of the pond use as a "standard"?

They are obviously not whp and wtq that we reference normally.

I'm really glad you mentioned the backpedaling, since you'll be the one doing it

@ 5050 RPM the plot shows youre making ~260RWHP.

so:

495Ft-lb @ 5050 RPM = 476 HP

it's not in ft-lb.


495Nm = 360 ft-lb

360 ft-lb @ 5050 RPM = 346 HP

it's not in Nm.


Dan, how can you give us an accurate HP number if we dunno what TQ the dyno was measured in? HP is a function of TQ, right now your HP numbers are completely arbitrary.

Its obvious Hondas/km

495H/km = 28 ft-lb
495H/km @ 5050 rpm = 27hp because at 5050 vtech hasnt kicked in yet yo, but
495H/km @ 7000 rpm = 327hp because by 7000 vtak has kicked in yo.

I think you guys should drive the 1.5 hours south to Sydney and go dyno on a dynojet at: BD4's Service Centre 27-53 College St, Gladesville, NSW 2111

Well it seems to me the most likely answer (not saying this is the case, just what comes to my mind) is that the torque curve is probably scaled differently (i.e. there should be another scale on the right side of the chart for torque, which is done quite commonly i might add...). That would explain the offset in the two curves and why the torque numbers appear to be way out of whack with the horsepower numbers.

According to the horsepower curve, at 5000 rpm he should be making 304ft/lbs of torque. That's using this formula, HP=torque*rpm/5252, or to calculate for torque, Tq=HP*5252/RPM

the chart shows 290hp@5000rpm so, 290hpX5252/5000rpm=304ft/lbs according to the posted HP chart. I'm using the red line in the graphs as per Dann the blue are the old log manifold.

18psi, I'm not sure who exactly the "nutswingers" comment was intended for, but I think it's about you left the playground name calling behaviour behind, this an adult forum not the school yard...

One other thing I noticed is that if you read through the spool data thread, your log is pretty much average for spool based on what's posted there, about 6 psi@2500-2600 rpm, but your tubular manifold is about 600rpm later than normal for a 2560, no idea what's up with that. In the spool data thread, it doesn't seem to make much, if any difference whether it was a cast log or a tubular manifold, they all seem to spool pretty close (based on the data posted by users). it almost appears as if your smaller i.d. runners had the opposite effect to what was expected, slower spool and more top end vs faster spool and possibly restricted top end.

It also looks as thought the dyno runs were done in 5th gear and not 4th, is this correct or did the operator input the wrong info?

are you being serious? no, it wouldn't; since the dyno plot clearly states ftlb and the peak is 498 ftlb @ 128 KPH. Do you really think we are that stupid? honestly?

it would only make sense if the TQ plot was NOT in ft-lbs, but another unit of measurement to be determined. Even still, when I just used his HP numbers alone, his torque per liter is way above the norm for any other miata out there, and there's really nothing special about his setup that should make it produce numbers way outside the norm.

that coupled with this shitty *** bs dyno plot...

my car only hits 110mph in 5th gear too. I have REALLY short gearing.

more of you not know what youre talking about.

my spool results of log vs tubular manifolds logs spool was faster but make was less - Honda-Tech

I mentioned 5th vs 4th because most dyno runs are done in the 1:1 gear ratio, Dann has a 5 speed so that would mean it should have been done in 4th gear, the info at the top of the chart indicates 5th was used... this would obviously have some impact on the resiults.

NO Brain I do not think your stupid, reread what I posted. I am suggesting that the printout was done incorrectly, that the torque curve should probably be rescaled and brought inline with the hp curve. If you look at the hp only plot of the new setup it matches the red line in the combined plot showing hp only of the new setup, the combined plot shows both lb/ft and hp at the top, the measurements match the HP of the new setup, I am suggesting that the combined plot was "put together" after the fact and was done incorrectly by the operator (and the plots may in fact be correct, but scaled and displayed incorrectly). I am suggesting that it is showing HP, which would stand to reason as it matches the new plot showing hp only of the new setup It shows a plot for Danns old log setup and his new tubular setup done weeks apart so clearly the plots were not overlayed and printed "back to back" sorry if I was unclear about what I meant. Does this explain it better?

how many of the setups in the spool thread have done back to back testing between a tubular and log manifold? That link just happened to be the first link I found, I could post many many more examples of back to back testing of this. This is a pretty common known concept.

did you even bother to look at the measured speed? If he ran the dyno in 5th and it was expecting 4th, then the plot would make the exact same peak numbers but the rpms in which they get plotted would be off.


If you look at the hp only plot of the new setup it matches the red line in the combined plot. and clearly shows HP, the "hp" in the combined plot and the "ft/lb" measurements match the HP numbers in the plot that shows HP of the new setup, I am suggesting that the combined plot was "put together" after the fact and was done incorrectly by the operator (and the plots may in fact be correct, but scaled and displayed incorrectly). It shows a plot for Danns old log setup and his new tubular setup done weeks apart so clearly the plots were not overlayed and printed "back to back" sorry if I was unclear about what I meant.

Jim

the red single plot shows 325.4HP and 498.3 Ftlb

so no, that doesnt not explain it better, it still suggests that you have your head too far up your *** to even understand that it's not scaling issue.

BRAIN, READ THE SPOOL THREAD IN THE DIY TURBO SECTION OF THIS FORUM, if you look at the data for the 1.8's running gt2560's you will see that there is very little difference in the way the gt2560 spools from car to car regardless of manifold type, it's not my data, go read it and you will see that I am simply repeating what is shown there. I was surprised to see the data too as I was expecting to see significant differences between manifold types and exhaust size, but from the data that people posted in that thread that just doesn't appear to be the case, don't shoot the messenger, I'm only repeating what's there.

Does it show 495 ft/lbs? You are assuming that the same scale is for both hp and tq, I am suggesting that the scale shown only reflects the HP number not both, I know it appears to be both but obviously that would make no sense. It just so happens though that the scale and numbers shown do match the hp numbers shown in the HP only plot, I think the torque scale should be displayed on the right as is commonly done but is missing in this case and makes it look as though the same scale was used for both.

Dann, is it possible for you to get a print out of just your new setup on the dyno that clearly shows both hp and tq numbers rather than the somewhat confusing pieced together plot?

too many variables.

i understand what you are saying, but im not buying it.

the 498 TQ number is TIED TO the 325 HP number.

the scaling IS CORRECT.

both should be plotted on the same scale, if they were different, then they wouldn't be plotted traditionally.


The issue is, the 498 number is perposterous, and since dynos mesaure TQ and then calcuate HP, without explaination, his numbers are completely bogus.
