It's the way they develop torque (magnetically) rather than mechanically, as an engine does. It's, obviously, impossible for an engine to develop ANY torque at stall, since combustion requires the pistons to be moving. Electric motors develop torque at stall, since current (and therefore the magnetic field) can exist without the motor turning.

 

car sounds awesome, also love the jdm rear bumpers with defuser, whered u get it?

 

It's the kit from RRM

 

 

I wanna know what a turboed ralliart dynoes at .....with 91 oct

 

The problem with having 300 lbs of torque at 0 rpm is that it means absolutely nothing in terms of what you could do with gearing. Gearing multiplies torque, and torque is a force at a distance. Force = mass * accelleration. In the ralliart you get a pretty insane first gear that multiplies the torque by about 14X, which is why you pretty much rip through first gear instantly.

Anyways, with the prius, it has a CVT so you probably are never at 0RPM very long. You can't win with it in terms of gearing or torque because either your dividing your high torque at a low RPM or multiplying your low torque at a high RPM to get better accelleration.

Question is, how do you put a turbo on a prius?

 

171 to the flywheel... No offense but i wouldnt base my actual horsepower off a flywheelHP AND an open hood with Fan fed air.... Fans and open hoods will give you power you dont have.

 

I dont understand, How is this power to the flywheel? Diud the take the tranny off and actually hooked the flywhell to the dyno

Cuz if not it aint really flywheel power, but , Unloaded Engine Power

Also which mods do you sport

 

unloaded engine power? that means they downed just the motor with no pumps no nothing,..

 

It's actually done at the wheels. I asked the guys why it said flywheel, and it had something to do with their computer program either being set up wrong or it referring to part of the mechanism in the dyno itself.

I already mentioned the mods...

 

Oh, well then nice. I have almoist the same mods, I just have a pulley, injen cai, RRM header, flywheel and custom-crap exhaust

I dynoed 171 with the injen, downpipe and pulley...Have to try the new stuff on the rollers

Those are nice numbers u have there

 

So both of you have thrown up those numbers?
