You need to measure the torque of the engine. This is best done at the rear wheels using a rolling road dynamometer. You will get a readout giving the torque throughout the rev range. To convert torque into bhp do the following calcluation: bhp = (rpm x torque)/5252
Torque is not measured as a percentage.
One difference between dynamic torque and static torque is the level of difficulty to measure. Static torque is each to measure, while dynamic torque is not. This is because it requires a transfer of an electric or magnetic effect.
Simply put 'torque' is a measure of rotational force.
Torque has nothing to do with horsepower. It is purely a measure of force, whereas horsepower is a measure of how much work can be done over time.
Gears are not perfect example for rolling friction. Most energy lost in gear operation is due to the surface shear stress, which is more like sliding friction. Rolling friction is due to the pressure induced torque applied on the roll axis. Under this circumstance, the equivalent pressure force doesn't point to the roll axis, which creates a torque to resist the rolling motion. A good example for rolling friction can be a running wheel of the car.
Measure the rpm & calculate the torque as power divided by angular velocity
A dynamometer is used to measure force, torque or power of a engine. A dynamometer also can measure the torque and power needed to power a given driven machine.
Torque sensors are used in vehicles and aircraft. They are used on engines, gearboxes, crankshafts and transmissions to measure the amount of torque being generated.
A dynamometer measures force, torque, and power. It can be used to measure the power of an engine.
You get the manual for the engine that you are replacing the plugs in then you use your torque wrench and tighten to the specified torque. If you have an aluminum head, be super careful and be sure to use the correct torque spec.
