So the figures you've quoted are with the new "pinnacle" system?

I'll let Mike answer, my English is not good enough

[mikey k]

You have mail!

[vince1972]

The project continues.

Soon news.

The wheels for sell, all the wheels are good, just one is a little grated (rubbing against a curb):

After 5,000 km, so good. The car always uses no oil at all, the same level as when I pick her up.

Thanks Mike for all.

I send you a message tomorrow or this weekend.




The Vantage will go to Aston Martin next week for a new modification step.

[MichaelV8V]

So what's the next modification?

I sent you a e-mail (PM) about the wheels though I've not heard any thing back.

Can you get in touch?

Slightly curious as to why the power and torque figures aren't equal at 5252rpm....

5252.113 rpm is the equivalence speed for torque and power when units of torque are in Foot-Lbs and power is in HP.


When using newton-meters and kilowatts (standard SI units) the equivalence speed is 9549.3 rpm NOT 5252.113 rpm.



 

For example;



Equivalence speed Nm / kW:

9549 rpm where 100Nm Torque is measured, power in kW = 100 (or 134.1HP)

Calculated using formula Torque (NM) * Speed /9549.3





Equivalence speed Foot-Lbs / HP:

5252 rpm where 100 Foot-Lbs Torque is measured (135.58Nm), power in HP = 100

This is calculated using formula Torque (Foot-Lbs) * Speed /5252



So before understanding all this, you would have thought what is stated below was an error when in actual fact it is correct.


5252 rpm where 135.58Nm is measured, power in HP = 100

This is calculated using formula Torque (NM) * Speed /9549.3 = 74.6 kW or 100 HP (74.6*1.341)

...

Ahhhhhh. The chart on the first page appears to be mixing units.

Done, sorry for the lonnnng delay

Here is a update news for project Diablo Blanco. After the car was return back to me from Bamford Rose the engine he feel to me he has much more power as the kilometers add up. In all this time the engine has not use one drop of oil, interesting that before Bamford Rose converted the engine he drank lots of oil. So now the engine he must be producing full power I decide to go test on dyno power output. Bamford Rose told me with graph when I collected my car the power output was over the 475BHP they market to me. I arrived at dyno at 16:30 and departed much later, but sad to say impossible to have a curve complete. The rear wheel just spin on the dyno. Wow the dyno guys say, this has never happen before to them. What a powerful engine. We tried everything, tilt the car, a person in the trunk, then two, then three. We tried in the third, then fourth, then fifth to finish sixth. In short, the car slips and impossible to have a curve in these conditions. This is the first time that no solution has been found, even loading the trunk. Tires (19-inch) were ok for them and rolls, verified, were nickel ... In short, they gave me a credit note for no result. I don't need dyno test to tell me how powerful and fast the car is, it would just be nice to have a result but the Bamford Rose engine, he can't be tamed for power test on the rollers....

Do you get a lot of wheel spin on the road too?

[XXXAngelXXX]

just stepped over this topic - NICE CAR there Vince!!

On dry roads, only in 1st gear and 2nd if I accelerate fully (glad traction control).
Supension with Mike (controlled from the cockpit to two positions), handling is fantastic.
