Torque graph is very interesting - any idea why it is so up and down?

It is the graph arrangemeent. Look at the bottom value. If you plot the graph as we are used to it it will be evenly smooth.
its for a nissan 350 though isnt it ?
How are you used to plot the graphs? Just curious. Here is a graph of a 3.5l racing engine runing a pectel ecu with hours fine tuning all the components and setings.

Ps: Dont pay to much attention to the values, I copied the wrong sceen...

No, 350 was running on the dyno defore HP. Modified the dyno setings - RPM readout, weights etc - but not the name...:bang:. m

With most equipment the grid starts at the zero power/torque level. The Dyna Pack cuts off the part of the grid below the graph giving a much better definition.

Ah ok - but if I compare the plots of the Panda to the 350Z the 350 has a lovely flat torque curve over a similar rev range whereas the Panda's delivery is not? Or could this be just ignored as traction issues with the rollers.
Chris
No there are no rollers... This curve could be just as smoth as with the other graph, given enough time to play with the map. m
Have to make your hose again. It has some slight contamination (dirt particles).

odd that Fiat only claim 99bhp for the Panda 100hp, though they do claim 100bhp for the 1.4 500...
They also claim the 500 is lighter at 930kg compared to the Pandas 975, yet they also claim the 500 is a second slower to 60, and 2mph slower at the top end.
Anyways, this thread is obviously about tuning, how about the usual light car with small engine way of getting performance without getting really dirty hands... Are there light weight alloys available / what can be removed from the car that isn't really needed / basic weight reduction...
Oh, and getting that 1bhp back from the 500

Just thought i'd throw this in...
power losses between hubs and flywheel are also affected by engine speed, ie greater frictional losses at higher rpm.

500 1.4 has variable valve timing, Panda 100hp doesn't.
