00:00 G'day, I'm Paul.
00:09 So in the background there is a dyno, a dynamometer.
00:12 Today what we're trying to do is figure out exactly how much power and torque the new
00:15 Ranger Raptor, the V6 diesel Ranger and also the four-cylinder diesel Ranger makes at the
00:21 wheels because I've just driven that and it was bloody awesome.
00:25 So I'm keen to see exactly how much power it's putting down to the ground.
00:28 Now I've got to give you a big shout out to Jason from LS1 Power.
00:31 If you do need to have your cars tuned, a bit of work done to them, he is the man to
00:35 go to and he is running our dyno today and feeding me back everything I need to know.
00:39 We've just wrapped up with the Ranger Raptor, the V6 is currently on the dyno.
00:43 Come with me, I'll run you through the results.
00:45 OK, so let me run you through theoretically what it's meant to be achieving.
00:49 So 292 kilowatts of power and 583 newton metres of torque is the output from the engine at
00:55 the flywheel.
00:56 On the dyno we just achieved 204 kilowatts of power and about 535 newton metres of torque.
01:02 So some pretty healthy numbers there.
01:04 Just as a recap, this is a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6 and it was actually quite interesting
01:10 to see while it was running, there's a set of louvers down the bottom there at the front
01:14 that open and close and when he was running it in seventh gear, which is where we achieved
01:18 those numbers, the louvers were just slightly opening as the car started getting up on its
01:22 hind legs.
01:23 It sounded awesome in there as well.
01:33 So pretty impressed with the Ranger Raptor for a, I don't know, just a dual-cab ute.
01:38 It has some serious power at the wheels.
01:40 V6 is on at the moment, let's go have a look at how that's gone.
01:52 So V6 has now finished.
01:54 Just as a recap, the factory numbers are 184 kilowatts of power, 600 newton metres of torque
02:00 and that's from a 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged diesel, that's of course at the flywheel.
02:05 At the rear wheels though, it made 158.4 kilowatts and 540 newton metres of torque.
02:12 That is really impressive.
02:13 I was actually expecting this to be nowhere near as high and I think it shows you that,
02:17 I don't know if there's like an overboost feature or something that has been programmed
02:21 into this engine that's really giving that extra kick once it gets moving, because in
02:25 first gear it definitely feels torque limited.
02:27 So proves here on the dyno that it really has a fair bit of mumbo behind the wheel there.
02:31 So the four-cylinder is on the dyno now, so I'll be keen to see how that goes.
02:34 So yeah, let's go have a look.
02:50 Right, final car is now done, that was the Bi-Turbo, so as a reminder, from the factory
02:55 it is 154 kilowatts of power and 500 newton metres of torque, 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder
03:02 diesel engine.
03:03 On the dyno, it made 126.9 kilowatts of power and 460 newton metres of torque.
03:09 I'm actually really impressed with the power outputs here of the two diesel cars, they've
03:14 actually done really well and I wasn't expecting them to be that high.
03:17 So there you go.
03:18 I hope you enjoyed that quick video and you've learnt something from it.
03:22 I think for me, I'm surprised at how much power the Raptor makes at the rear wheels
03:26 and also surprised how much these two are pushing out as well.
03:35 Now before we wrap up, I need to give one final shout out to Jason from LS Power.
03:39 If you do need any work done on your V8 Commodore, he is your man.
03:43 I was pretty surprised by these numbers, so let me know what you reckon in the comments
03:46 section below.
