View Full Version : 2009 Fall Dyno Day - Oct 3rd @ MAP
Diesels are usually for gas mileage or pulling. You usually pull best with torque, you make more torque at lower rpms. You get better gas mileage at low rpms too. They are usually heavy rotating assembly motors, built to run very high boost to make high torque at low rpms and get gas mileage while doing it and not built to spin high rpms. Pro diesel tractor pullers might see RPMs in excess of 6000 though, but they aren't exactly a street truck/car made to last forever and save gas.
You should bring a shop car to dyno :)

Don't really have any and if I had some high HP beast, I wouldn't take it some other shop's dyno day to try to show them up or anything.

It's because of the whole 5252 rpm equation, and the fact that 6k rpm is considered pretty high for a diesel engine.
That would make sense, I didn't even think of that.
diesels can't go past 4 something. Some kind of physical impossibility with regular diesel fuel, I believe.
False, my brother knows a few guys that pull that rev to about 5k

Would I be considered a "shop car" or could I partake in the action on the dyno?

Why not? It's at the shop you work for. :)
