Re: Tech Article: 4A-GTE	Thu, 10 October 2002 05:31

I went back through some old issues of Zoom that i have and found three individual 4AGTE's All were using standard internals (pretty much) and aftermarket turbochargers. The power figures at the wheels were: Yogi's Sillycar - 159kw @ 18psi Cortina - 141kw @ 16psi (i think) 1200 ute - 186kw @ 26psi So ive come to the conclusion that it's more than likely a flywheel figure. Ive heard numerous times that a 14psi pulley kit for the stupercharger will yeild approx 200hp or 147kw at the flywheel. Given that a turbo is more efficient, Mick's 162kw @ 12psi as a flywheel figure makes sense, even taking into account the adjustable cam gears and higher lift cams. Given that Dyno's have been known to differ by up to 10%, A 10% power difference is still not enough to put Mick's car up there with the other three given his comparatively low boost pressure. It could be ether an estimated (but why the .00 accuracy?) or an engine dyno (the engine did spend a fair time outside of the car) Also Youngy, I couldnt find anywhere that it says 'rear wheel figure' [Report message to a moderator]
