eggzakkery.

It’s crude, but it’s a good ballpark.

you can also assume about 20% drivetrain loss, and figure out roughly RWHP with that math.

well, i took the car out for a drive today, and the emanage worked like shit, so i unplugged it after i couldn’t figure out how to set up my engine for it to run properly, and she ran fine, well, until the oil line went, luckily i caught it in time, towed it back to the garage, poured in some more oil, and made sure she started, phew, close call. the only real problem that i’ve had so far on this build, was the damn coolant and oil line kit that i got, such a pain in the ass the find the proper fittings for them, and without the right fitting, coolant just leaks out like it was from a fountain. but needless to say, i’m addicted. and playing with the idea of selling this car once it’s all done, and building up one with an rb20 in it.
