Okay, so I'm sitting in my office today and come across some Dyno Apps on the iTunes site... thinking why not, this should be a bit of fun... I've just invested some of my hard earned savings in one... So okay it requires a few parameters to be entered... and to be extremely scientific I thought I'd ask all the boffins on here what they think are the best values. Now the car is a 2001 996 Turbo Tipo... The 2 values I need are... vehicle weight, including an allowance for 1 passanger (average 6 foot person whos just had breakfast), say half a tank of fuel, and whatever other nick nacks one might have in the car... I'm thinking 1,670kg's? They also want to know the estimated drivetrain loss for Hp... given it's 4wd, would 25% be about right... or has someone else here got a definative value through their own dyno results? Any thoughts on the above would be appreciated. It'll be fun to see how the App performs... Kiwi

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Your figures are about right, although the 25% dyno transmission losses are really for a permanent 4WD (50:50) system, rather than the 95:5 system in the Turbo. However, if you have the same dyno App as I do, don't trust the figures too much... My 2001 standard turbo Tip recorded a sub-7 second 0-100mph time, and a standing quarter in 11 seconds - apparently topping out at 158 mph :floor: It's still good fun though, and try the lateral acceleration meter on RevLite while you are at it... I have the TomTom car kit and I managed to corner hard enough to make the iPhone change it's format from landscape to portrait this evening :grin: :grin: :grin:
Legend... :worship: Although I guess if it completely rotates you've gone to far The App is Dynolicious... So do you think 20% drivetrain loss is more accurate with the Tipo? Cheers Kiwi
