If its 150 killa-wogs at the treads, I can confirm there will be more of them in your motor.
I would suggest removing them and disposing of in a greenpeace approved manner.

Having too many killa-wogs is detrimental to your tyres and may create excess carbon pollution.


Seriously though, I would expect about 180ish will-a-wogs at the fly, maybe more depending on transmission health.

150rwkw is maybe 190kw at the fly...but that was just my guestimation of 20% loss through the drive train. Could be way wrong.

Power: 148 rwkw

A good rule of thumb is a manual will lose 15-20% between the engine and the wheels, 20-25% for an automatic, toward the high end of the range with a high stall. It's rough, but gives a realistic idea.

For example, if you were losing 20% in the drivetrain, 80% of engine power is what you will measure at the treads. So, 150kw at the wheels divided by 80% (.80) gives 187.5kw at the flywheel.

The 627 ft-lb of torque at the wheels is a bit of a worry. That's about 850Nm - at least 1000Nm at the flywheel - the same as Mercedes twin-turbo V12 SL65 AMG. If you're getting that from an N/A EB 4.0, you'd better share your secret :D

Why does it matter what the engine output is anyway?? Unless you plan to use the flywheel in direct contract with the ground the only thing that matters is what you're laying down at the wheels.

The 1000KW badges would add additional weight, wind drag and hence - slower down the quarter mile too!

"The ED Falcon is a strange step backward in terms of performance. Jim Mock says the camshaft was detuned from EBII specs and, as a result, power slipped from 148 to 145kW. This might not seem much, but we’re told that the on-road lack of performance was noticeable. From a tuning perspective, the ED engine only makes things harder compared to the EBII engine."

Well, they did. An EA cam has 4 degrees more duration on the exhaust than an ED std cam....the lift is the same. Also, the timing is slightly different too.....this is all for the lowering of the NOx to pass emissions.
I am using an EA cam & cylinder head on my ED....and it makes 150 rwkw.
