Title: Nm to ft lbs
Post by: waspy on 02 March 2008, 14:07:53

Does someone know how to convert Nm into ft lbs?
In the manual it tells me the figure, but in Nm  :(

Thanks Zippo.
I've just found a conversion site. The DTi produces 280 Nm which= 206.5 ft lbs.
No wonder the get up n go isn't as quick as my old Rover diesel, that produced 268 ft lbs (although the BHP's the same), but when i have it tuned at R&M motors the torque should be about the same, but the BHP should be around 145 instead of 119 ::) ::) ::)

Yes mate. there's two things they can do; the first is unplug something (not sure what,because can't recall) then plug a module in place & then plug what they unpugged into the module. The second is remap what i have which is more expensive apperantly, so i hoping for the first which around £285.
Dealt with these guys before & their good.
