True, Its a mathmatical formula.

You can't argue with that.

Torque and Horse power always cross at 5252.. period.. it's a physical LAW!

Since both the Torque and Horsepower are messured at the Wheels (same point).. the graphs should cross at 5252.... Regardless of gears.


T = HP x 5252
rpm

T = torque (in lb-ft)
HP = horsepower
5252 = constant (33,000 divided by 3.14 x 2 = 5252)
rpm = revolutions per minute
Here earlier in the day I am crossing at 4500-4600

Not sure what it is for the TurboS, but my 86 gearbox we used 3.49 at demans.

I can't imagine why any SAE correction would impact RPM.
SAE corrections far as I know are only applied to HP, not torque. Not sure why, but I came to this conclusion by reading the dyno chart... Torque is just ft lbs, while HP is "HP SAE"

So if it was a hot humid day, horsepower would read higher and thus not cross at 5252.

3.49 vs. 3.489 I'm not really sure what the difference would be. It is the same for the turbo S, btw. It was just a matter of rounding, I think.

billgot your first picture is a little hard to see but it looks like the HP and TQ scales on the left and right are different. If you look at the HP value at 5252rpm and the TQ value at 5252rpm they will probably be the same.

Here's the same dyno-chart again with the HP-chart scaled to the same axis as the torque-curve and overlaid. They still don't cross at the correct RPM. something's not right. Also the torque drop form its 250 lb-ft peak all the way down to 140 lb-ft by redline is a little excessive. What's your boost at redline?

which is corect. 1988 944 turbo or 1989 944 turbo "s". It states at begining of post that car is 1988 turbo "s" and se all know by now that a factory turbo "s" only in u.s. in 1989 only painted rose metalic unless speical orderd.

As I got my tune better the merge got closer to 5200 This is all done in the same day on the same Dyno.So tune has to have something to do with the 5200 merge mark.

The turbo S was only available in 1988 with the first group being the Silver Rose color. Other colors were produced after the Silver Rose editions. In 1989, the only turbo available had the upgraded components but dropped the 'S' designation. It is still often refered to as a 'S' but that is a misnomer.

Thomas, take a close look at your graphs; on the first one, where the hp/tq lines don't cross at 5252 rpm, the scale is different - on y-axis the values for hp range from 0 to 350, and for tq they're between 0 and 400... on the later charts, the scale is the same, from 0 to 400 on both... and they cross right where they should. Tune has nothing to do with it, honest!

Look again at those charts. What's fooling you is that the hp and torque scales are different on the charts. The hp and torque all cross at 5252 rpm when you take into account the different axis scaling.

EDIT: Sami just beat me to it with the same explanation.

the dyno on the top say flywheelHP

so this is not wheel HP but about 15% more

Tq= hp x rpm???

I thought it was the other way around??? Hp= tq x rpm, thus tq=hp/rpm
