How much torque does an A7 engine produce

[David Stepney]

If anyone fancies doing a bit of maths to find either the horsepower or torque of their motor, these are the formulas.

Torque  =  5252 x Horsepower 
                  -------------------------
                            RPM   

Horsepower =  Torque x RPM
                        ------------------
                             5252

The most powerful seven motor I had on a rolling road dyno was developing 40 ft/lb at 6000 revs, I don't remember the maximum torque, but I'm not sure it approached the 56 ft lb maximum figure Steve quoted even though it was running 8lb boost.

Where does the constant 5252 come from?
