Did a bit of googling and people are saying you need to know the rolling radius of the tyres, then the diff ratio, then the gear ratio. It's a calculation from LS1.com.au so not sure if it can be applied to AWD cars as easily?
Since Hp=(LftLbs x RPM) / 5252
Power in Kw * 1.3405 to get Hp, then assuming 28% drivetrain loss(a constant to all calculations on one dyno sheet keeps the torque ratios between rpm constant) then multiply by 5252, then divide by engine rpm to get FtLbs, multiply by 1.3405 to get Nm of engine torque
As K has stated above? rolling radius? diff ratio? gear ratio? you could call on other factors but those 3 are probably some of the main ones...
Your formula hasn't factored in any of the above? therefore how can it be accurate enough?
Is this the same formula you use when creating your virtual dyno figures?
Most dyno tunes are run at closest to 1:1 ratio gearing... 4th gear power run in the H6 right?
The dyno has done the calculations for you to SAE
28% Drivetrain loss
231Kw * 1.3405 to get Hp, then assuming 28% drivetrain loss(a constant to all calculations on one dyno sheet keeps the torque ratios between rpm constant) then multiply by 5252, then divide by 7050rpm to get FtLbs, multiply by 1.3405 to get 430Nm of engine torque
35% drivetrain loss
231Kw * 1.3405 to get Hp, then assuming 35% drivetrain loss(a constant to all calculations on one dyno sheet keeps the torque ratios between rpm constant) then multiply by 5252, then divide by 7050rpm to get FtLbs, multiply by 1.3405 to get 475Nm of engine torque
Now for low rpm torque...
50Kw * 1.3405 to get Hp, then assuming 28% drivetrain loss(a constant to all calculations on one dyno sheet keeps the torque ratios between rpm constant) then multiply by 5252, then divide by 2350rpm to get FtLbs, multiply by 1.3405 to get 279Nm of engine torque
28% drivetrain loss scenario has 70% more torque at 7050rpm than at 2350rpm... which is reflected in the dyno torque graph
Factory power output was 180Kw
180Kw * 1.3405 to get Hp then multiply by 5252, then divide by 6600rpm to get FtLbs, multiply by 1.3405 to get 257Nm of engine torque at peak power
They typically make 135 to 150Kw@wheels so a 55 to 65% increase in torque would be considered normal...
The plateau from 80 to 88kph is also the publicly undefined Valve Lift activation point(that I am happy to share) which dropping it from 4400rpm to 3750 should smooth out the curve
