A Q for any1 running stand alone management

Erm I am a little confused......If memory serves correct a basic principle of induction is that you cant increase the tourqe to a value that is higher then the bhp on a N/A engine as the air is only at atmospheric pressure?

Also I know of a couple of XE engines running Jenvy direct to head throttle boddies on blueprinted blocks with omega pistons and they only make around 160 - 170 lbft and 220bhp so how is yours making 65lbft more then that with a standard inlet system??

I got to agree, the torque figure does seem high, it would make more sense if it was 226 nm or 166 lb/ft.

I have just checked the print out again (I have been trying to up-load a pic & just set up a photobucket acc, only to find out it will not up-load PDF's..), it show's 227 BHP @6700 rpm with a max torque of 226 lb/ft @ 4825 rpm.

Also tried to take a pic, but as the print is light blue/light green on a white background it very difficult to see.

Like I said, it will be on the rollers again mid Novemeber so will try and add the latest print out when its been done.
 
I would be questioning your choice of rolling roads mate......226lbft is more then a C20LET engine for a start and the XE inlet manifold and plenum isnt capable of flowing enough air to produce that much max tourqe on a N/A engine.

Or your quoted tourqe figure is in Newton metres and not foot pounds ;)
