he was ewstimating the crank horsepower if he had 265 whp on fronttrack. there is less powerloss through FWD than through AWD b(about 14% through front and 21% through all)

 

ok, took what he was saying and applied it to something else,but of coarsethat makes sense now.. but only 21% DTL on Quattro. more in the neighborhood of 25ish actually

 

yeah to create those numbers on a quattro you would have to have more power at the crank becasue it loses more power through the tranny. Remeber not all trannys are created equal. A quattro may always beat me off the line at high hp but with equal crank power and run from a roll I'll spank a quattro up and down the street. It's simple a frontrak puts more power on the floor and weighs less.

 

its just a guess im not sure how much power and tq it was putting out but i just ordere my turbo kit and i will have on at the middle of july.

 

i would guess at that boost(if you were chipped) around 210 at the crank at most.

 

july???[sm=smiley3.gif]

and i would say more than that. 25psi=definately more than 210chp if tuned right. but i don't know what your software was running so i couln't tell you

 

Well i guess we'll never know since he blew it up, but if efficientcy range is 18 your not really going to gain that much by going over taht(I think,could be wrong)

Does suck that you have to wait so long what turbo are you getting?

 

yes it is past it's efficiency range at 25psi. but it still doesn't mean that that motor was getting 25psi of ko3 air being shuved into it.. it will work well for a bit(drag racing). but not a long haul like road coarsesbecause turbo heatsoak(efficiency pretty much) will be too high..

just remember that the original j31 file(28psi) was written for a ko3. not a ko4

 

speaking of turbos, when i drive its like im at the dentist office. so im getting it replaced this weekend hopefully woohoo.
