RobSheffield Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looks like about 45 NM for TT and about 28-30 NM for NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spider Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I dont understand NM me self, i am old school and work in Foot Pounds, ie 400lbs ect;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The graphs show torque in Kg force metres, so the TT gives about 45 Kgf-m which is about 325 foot pounds, and the N/A shows about 28 Kgf-m which is about 202 foot pounds of torque. Chalk and cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 its kg/m which is 10 times larger then a newton meter. If a supra only had 45 nm it would be a bit gutless 450 nm = 45 kg/m = 320 ft/lbs 300 nm = 30 kg/m = 217 ft/lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spider Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 If a supra only had 45 nm it would be a bit gutless You mean it has more than 50nm!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Lol, it even says KG/M in brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spider Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 An easy way to look at it is that torqe gives you that kick in the back, that shove in ya seat that can be felt. BHP keeps ya constant at the desired speed once ya get there......well thats how i think of it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I tend to think of torque as the force the engine puts out per rpm so the faster it rotates the more work the torque can do and so the more total work or power. Some people say things like "my punto HGT has as much torque as a porcshe boxter..." but it only revs to about 4k while a porsche is going to be more like 7-8k so they arent really comparable. A porsche could have a much shorter gear ratio then the punto for the same speed so the engine is doing more rpm and making alot more power and would be much faster.

ivan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 In its simplest terms - BHP is how fast you can go, torque is how quickly you can get to that speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Torque- work (power/effort) Power- rate of work. It's best to have a shitload of both lol. It gets complicated once you start adding gearboxes & final drives into the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 There's an excellent article about power and torque in this months Car magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 In its simplest terms - BHP is how fast you can go, torque is how quickly you can get to that speed. It's all about the torques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
