Bolt_Crank Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 what's the percentage of driveline loss in the W's? specifically my Z34.... fucking POS 4t60E... according to G-tech, I put 141HP to the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 G-Tech sucks...get on a dynamometer to get a real reading, I would imagine you have more than 141hp to the wheels with the DOHC unless it's really sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtk2 Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 ~20% driveline loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 I would say 20-30% when the TC isnt locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt_Crank Posted December 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 I hope to hell G-Tech is wrong :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thabulldog Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 So then 20% of 210 is 42hp, so like 168 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excelsior Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 w/ good tires i think you can keep about 85% perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtk2 Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 w/ good tires i think you can keep about 85% perhaps Tires don't have anything to do with power loss. The power is already lost by the time it gets to the tires. A manual transmission wouldn't have as much power loss as an automatic because it is a simpler machine, so a manual will bring you down to around 15% or so. Tires aren't going to do crap for power loss. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt_Crank Posted January 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 okay... so lets say about 17.5% driveline loss, from 200HP that's 165HP at the wheels... dammit.... I need traction, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey b Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 they guy that ran the dyno at the 2002 WBG (no, I was not there) said about 18 for the manuals and 20 for the auto's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt_Crank Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I'm really hoping it's traction problems then :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt_Crank Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 got some new tires... did 4 runs... 156 + 148 + 164 + 173 / 4 = 160.25 200 * 0.80 = 160HP woooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
