[quote=“66impalass,post:60,topic:25958"”]
the correct answer is ft-lbf, technically speaking as there is lbm and lbf

this is correct, that’s always a bitch to work with. SI units FTW

WRONG
POWER /= TORQUE.
come on dan, you’re an engineer.
do you mean joules???
watt ~ power = w/t = F_D/t = m_A_D/t ~ kg_m^2/s
ft-lb ~ torque = F X D = m_A_D ~ kg_m^2/s^2
ft-lb ~ work =F_D = m_A_D ~ kg\*m^2/s^2 = joule
however, work is a **dot** product, torque is a **cross** product.

sorry, your right, i was thinking joules but came out watts because i was thinking HP. But what about NEwTONs or NEWMANS?

Newman, I think you meant SI units for the loss. Metric FTW! N00b! 😛
Oh come on, if you’re going to quote one of the greatest movies of our childhood get it right:
One point twenty one jiggawatts?! Great Scott!!!

ft lb :gotme:
lol.
hmmm.
to answer questions, yes i agree the cross over comes in at a sharp angle, but it works, so its not stressing me out. this is a kit. same one from before. i need to fix some of their fuck ups. there are some nicer kits out now, but, again, it works as well/better than most.
afa the blue, i am aiming that way for the car. i cant make up my mind.

nope. then again, my turbo isn’t exactly large for my cubage, and i make use of the meat of its efficiency, so the wastegate isn’t really being pushed hard. it works well. if i had a t88, i’d have gone the next step larger

jeeves…i was thinking about that too…the red doesnt quite go with it, but to paint them a diff color would look like shit. they’d need to be anondized or something, and its not that big of a concern to me. ill just be patriotic
