What is the measurement for the RSM's power?(PS) How do you convert that to HP?

 

Bump

 

anyone know?

 

Search

 

Ok. I thought it would be easier if someone fricken knew.

 

I searched google and found nothing good. I looked at apexi's write up on it and it says horsepower at the wheels, but I got a peak of 327ps today and I doubt its hp.

 

From a 2 minute google search:

Horsepower - PS vs BHP

PS and BHP are not exactly the same. However, they are close enough that for most discussions they can be considered equivalent. 1 PS = 75 kg-m (542.5 ft-lb) per second of work, while 1 BHP
= 550 ft-lb per second. So, 1 BHP = 1.013825 PS.

 

That is bs cause my car was showin 389ps peak at 5243rpms. Theres no way thats right.

 

On a dyno, or in your magical dream land?

 

Stp jivin. I'm just telling you that thats what the RSM said. On the road.

 

Sorry, what exactly is the RSM supposed to do?

 

from

this site

Power
1 PS = 0.98632 HP
1 HP = 1.01387 PS

 

Thats fine. I understand the comparison now its just I am still wondering why I am getting such high numbers?

 

And we should help you why?????????????

 

why the fu%$ are you on this site for. That is what people do on the forum.

 

Once again why should we help you???? You curse people out, immature about things. Why dont you just ask politely and stop being an @$$hole.

 

I am sorry, I have to side with Blumax96 on this one. He asked for help. I don't feel it was necessary to be nasty. Unless posts were deleated, he did nothing to provoke this nastiness. I think that one point where he might have been misinterpreted ("That is bs cause my car was showin 389ps peak at 5243rpms. Theres no way thats right.") might be at the root, but it was obvious to me that he was not calling B.S. on anyone on the .org, just sayin gthat his readings must be B.S. Of course, I could be wrong, in which case he WAS calling B.S. on a particular person, which woul dhave been improper. Just my $0.02, but I think this went a bit overboard.

On a tangent note, what IS an RSM supposed to do?

 

Like I asked...
Obviously it wasnt worth the money if its giving out false readings.

 

Whats an RSM suppose to do? It does measurements and monitors. It monitors things from RPM to speed and if you have the optional g-meter, it measures G-forces.
It also measures Power, distance times, and like 0-100km/h times and such.

Now why he has this high ps is maybe because he didnt program the thing. It needs to be programmed. There are things to measure like actual weight of the car and if you have rims, you need to put in the percentage difference error. I accidently re-initialized the RSM and it went back to default settings and my speed was completley off. Please check your settings again and program them for your car.
The max is approx 1400 Kilograms. If you have rims, there is a formula to calculate the percentage error in the manual.
Your G-sensor also needs to be mounted correctly.

Good luck. Ill have some pics up. My friend is lagging with the camera.

 

I did all that. Mine is actually 1483kg with me in it. My tires are with in 99.68% of stock and I have calibrated the g-sensor. I guess my car is just a beast and i didn't know it.
