View Full Version : Power curve Spanish 09-01-2002, 01:20 PM This is the power curve wich fits Stan's torque curve. I think Stan's is reliable 'cos the values I obtained for maximum power fits mazda's really well. Spanish 09-01-2002, 01:21 PM These are the values I took from Stan's post Quick_lude 09-01-2002, 02:05 PM The Torque is nice and flat throughout the powerband.. I hope you're right! :D Rich 09-01-2002, 04:09 PM Who's Stan? wakeech 09-01-2002, 04:24 PM he means stan11003, who posted a teh supposed torque curve for the renesis (with the bottom chopped, so it looks kinda funny :)) in newton-metres or something... his post is a dozen down the list from the top by now... Spanish 09-01-2002, 06:27 PM Torque curve does really come from an official mazda press release. It contains all the latest pics of the rx-8 I had seen, all the information that spanish media had published and some more. The swiss mazda press site is free access (I tried others but required a login). I am not sure 100% the curve belongs to the final sale version of the RX-8 but a 250 hp test engine can't be very different. Hercules 09-02-2002, 08:40 PM This is the ACTUAL torque curve: http://media.mazda.ch/dossiers/Wankel/images/hi-res/skizze-05.jpg stan11003 09-02-2002, 10:21 PM Originally posted by Spanish These are the values I took from Stan's post Those are very detailed, what program did you use to do that graph? Spanish 09-03-2002, 02:40 PM I used excel to calculate the power and build the graph (power=torque x speed). The values like "173 Nm" are taken aproximately from mazda´s curve above, it coul be maybe 172 or 174 but it does not matter a lot. The scale is 10 Nm each line (90% torque at 3250=198). This makes an unusually flat curve (¿?) but it comes from a mazda´s site and 220Nm at 7500 rpm is mazda's value. |
