What is the magic % for the amount of parasitic loss on a 1995 M6 with 4.10 10 bolt rear-end.
I am guessing around 15%.
Is this right or am I off?
Thanks

How much parasitic loss with M6.wrd1972 03-06-2006, 07:43 AM What is the magic % for the amount of parasitic loss on a 1995 M6 with 4.10 10 bolt rear-end. I am guessing around 15%. Is this right or am I off? Thanks Injuneer 03-06-2006, 02:10 PM Based on actual measurements on my car, first on the engine dyno (Superflow), then on the chassis dyno (Dynojet) in the same shop that built the engine: NA: at 500 flywheel HP losses were 12.6% 1-stage N2O: at 635 flywheel HP, losses were 12.3% 2-stage N2O: at 765 flywheel HP, losses were 12.1% The balance of the system was a steel flywheel Street Twin, totally stock T56, 3" chrome moly DS, Strange 12-bolt with 3.73's, 17x9.5" wheels with 275/40-17's. I'd say to assume closer to 13% with "stockish" HP. 87DJP2001 03-06-2006, 02:26 PM On a M6 with a STOCK setup the Loss on a dyno is between 16/18%. Note the Word Stock.;) wrd1972 03-06-2006, 02:27 PM Well we have anywhere from 13-18% By stock do you mean stock M6 and 10 bolt rear end. So when you are no longer stock, why does the number seem to change 87DJP2001 03-06-2006, 04:52 PM Whatever it came from the factory with is stock. buzz12586 03-06-2006, 09:17 PM I thought loss would be greater through a 12-bolt??? Injuneer 03-07-2006, 08:14 AM I would expect the losses to be greater with a heavy Street Twin, a heavy 3" chrome moly driveshaft (19#) and possibly a bit higher with the 12-bolt. Not sure why using the lighter weight stock components would increase drivetrain losses by up to 5%. Maybe someone could explain. | ||
