April 2007 - Engine
B230FT 4 cyl, 2.32 L - Max Power
at rear
wheels @ 15 psi boost
= 171.8
kW (x 1.34) =
230.3 hp (I'm
happy)
Standard engine internals,
but many changes to externals: Haltech E6K full engine management
(MAP sensor), IPD Turbo CAM, Turbocharger - Garrett GTBB25
(A/R .60), 3" mandrel exhaust, Large intercooler, CDI Ignition,
different ignition distributor, big injectors.
Graph info:
Top lines is HP,
bottom lines are AFR (air/fuel Ratio) under full boost. Blue line is
first power run of the day, higher Green line is after mapping
improvements. On right side of graph is scale for AFR (air/fuel
Ratio)
By comparison a standard Volvo B230FT output is 121 kW or 165 hp at
engine.
A friends B230FT with enhanced
bits +MoTec M800 @ 15psi = 175
kW or
235
hp
Old original Dyno chart after initial istallation in
1999

Dyno
Dynamics chassis
dynamometer (Rolling road) output with a 4th Gear acceleration
run from 70 kmh
Graph shows: Power (kW) vs Road speed (kmh 4th gear) vs Tractive Effort (tyre's rotational force onto dyno roller)
Engine B230FT 4 cyl, 2.32 L - Max Power at rear wheels @ 14 psi boost = 138 kW (x 1.34) = 185 hp
Changes: Haltech E6K full
engine management (MAP sensor), - Volvo VX3 Cam , Turbo is
ball bearing Garrett GTBB25 (A/R .60),
3" exhaust.
- Maximum
acceleration at any speed
occurs at the HP peak.
- Maximum acceleration in any gear occurs at the torque peak
Power = Torque x engine
rpm
