Hmmm, only 126 KW of power? That's, what, 168 whp? Not that much.

For those wondering, Power (HP) = Power (kW) x 1.341

BTW, how are they measuring torque? 430 lb/ft seems a little impossible on an Euro Accord. Especially with the low whp rating.

Yea, i did the conversion to 168 HP as well which doesn't seem high. As for the units of torque, its def not ft-lbs because that car would have taken off a lot faster at the starting line if it did...lol. And going along with the kw power the units are probably Nm, but that is still oddly high because that translate to about 317 ft-lbs. So i'm not sure actually....i can't see it on the video....

Just watched the video again and it def looks like Nm, but that is a crazy amount of torque in that car with such little horse power. So 168 HP and 317 ft-lbs?!?!?

its got to be some other unit of measurement. 317ft-lbs would be impossible without at least 10k under the hood, I did not see a turbo-setup

He used his magic wand. Didn't your TSX come with one? Go back to the dealer and complain!

Different Dynos read differently and figures are nothing unless every car goes on the same dyno on the same day, also it was a warm day when I had it tuned...
