I'm just not sure the price premium is justified. I'd have to see numbers from the same rollers. |
Ok, but why do we compare apples to kiwis? when I look at both graphs I see that Cosworth TQ curve looks like a roller coaster ride whereas the Innovate TQ looks almost flat...
of course without comparing both kits on same type of dyno (smoothing factor, other variables ..etc) it's really hard to tell who makes what kind of power
Also, intercooled Innovate kit (since Cosworth kit is also intercooled I figured I should compare ICd versions) makes a lot more than 220-260 nm at flywheel,
it makes roughly 170-175 lbft of torque at the wheels at 2500 rpm as you can see in the above graph, so it should be something like (170/.82)x1.36 (since the drivetrain loss is about 18%) it should be something like 280-285 ntm torque at flywheel and more importantly it looks a lot smoother than that bumpy Cosworth Torque, of course it's too early to anticipate but this is what I see so far
showing the flywheels numbers don't really tell us anything about the real world conditions, it just looks cool since the numbers are overly inflated
