Dès que ces infos seront disponibles, je les posterai sur RX8France.
DSC :
As DSC/TC controls torque output through brakes and throttle opening, and since throttle is still controlled by the original PCM, the Motec does not prevent full operation of the DSC and TC.

OMg, I'm drooling. 3 things though.
1.Is this one of the ones that might be able to be tuned on auto?
2.wrhp number?
3. have you contacted any car magazines that might want to pick up for Rx-8 SC? I know PASmag.com is about to start an Rx-8 project car..

Let there be Torque!
I grabbed this quick screenshot from the video...
The dial shows the amount of torque that the dyno is measuring. So it is a real world figure, as this is the turning effort of the wheel. It equates to the force pushing the car along.
The number on the lower left is the maximum torque that had been measured, in newton.metres...

I said it was the real world (actual) torque figure measured at the wheels.
I guess the point I was trying to make is to see how easy it is for people to get all excited about a number.
