just so i understand torque and hp correctly. with a car with lower hp(205) and high torque(286), your going to have a very hard launch due to the high torque but you will lose acceleration at higher speeds because of the low hp? would that be a good understanding of it?

Basically the engine is very strong at low rpm but stops building power at higher rpm. In my case, thr stock turbo simply can't pump enough air at higher rpm.


This is actually practical though. Extremely easy to pass since power is available almost instantly, unlike a typical 4 cylinder where they don't make power until they're at high rpm.


The torque is a LOT of fun too. So addictive to roll om the throttle and feel the turbo spool and get a huge shove of torque

The tune and mods improved my mpg too. I have fun with the car amd never attempt to conserve fuel, but I still average 33.5 mpg

@Alex1234 thanks for the great test. I find it interesting to compare times from your 15,000 lumen data. The fan increased runtime by about 6 minutes at 104°.

That's great. I am thinking about getting my Civic hatchback sport touring tuned. My issue is the ctv. While they can't take a lot of power, this cvt can take a little more with no issues. Hondata has a flash pro tune for a 6 psi boost. So about 19 psi total. They did crazy torture testing with the tune and had no issues with the the cvt belt scoring It will take me to 210 wheel torque and 200 wheel hp. 1/4 times drop into the 14s. Problem with cvt they are pigs off the line as the ECU even with tune limits power until about 20mph to protect the cvt. After that the car pulls hard. So not super quick 1/4 times however they do trap some nice mph. My car weights 3011 pounds I think so it's not super heavy ether.

Hey friends, what particular pattern of DC FIX are people using to smooth out beams. Thank in advance for any feedback. :thumbsup:
 
my SL2 was delivered today from the sale,i think i will be selling all my other lights .with the exception of the LS20,surefire outdoorsman 2aa.this is perfection for my needs.

I have sold so many SL2. They are extremely reliable with very minimal basic maintenance.
 
I have good new and bad new. Good new is Colorado avalanche scored 2 goals in the first period vs oilers.
Bad new is I broke my blf q8. I accidentally got the driver wet with the isopropyl alcohol.

 
I can fix ur bad news. Just did one of those actually.

I'm looking to buy a pocket sized light with a single XHP70.2 emitter. Is the TC20 my best option or is there something better?

For the money yes. Triple SST40 does throw more with more lumen but unfortunately over twice the price.

The money isn't really an issue.. I just prefer the defined hot spot you get with the single emitter. Do you have any XHP70.2 emitters in 5000K? I noticed that 6500K is the only option listed at Sky Lumen. Thanks!
 
Maybe I'll buy two TC20s... you can pull the guts from one and put in a CatVN!

Then send the empty TC20 to Newlumen. He'll be so mad when it won't turn on. :laughing:
 
Just noticed you released the long awaited t27vn on skylumen!
can you give us some insights and brief thoughts of what you think of this light? Especially directly compared to the t21vn.
Im sorta stumped to why the t21vn has same or more throw than the new t27vn which has a larger head.

Both are 70mm heads. The 2x18650 might push the black flat slightly better than 1x21700.

Your right. Dunno where I saw or thought that it had a bigger head. Maybe it’s because on acebeam website it states the acebeam t21 does 275kcd and the new t27 does 348kcd. Maybe I just assumed it must have a bigger head. Well, now in this case, I’m surprised the xhp35 hi three more than the xpl hi. Could it just be they didn’t drive the t21 as hard as the t27.
 
It could be that. XPL HI should have a very slight luminance advantage over the XHP35 HI, and I do mean very slight. In practical terms though, when both are driven to their limits, they are almost neck and neck, with the XHP35 HI offering more output.

Er, I had it backwards. XHP35 HI is slightly higher than XPL HI.

Here's a nifty pic: https://i.postimg.cc/Y9n1FLVD/luminance.png


The Osram Ostar Projection Compact (White Flat/ Oslon White) should have a theoretical luminance of around 300, whereas the Osram Oslon Boost HX around 400.
