So if you rearrange that equation you will see that

BHP/torque * rpm = 5252

So where BHP and torque are the same (ie bhp/torque =1) then RPM = 5252


Its just phyically impossible for your graph there to ever be considered any more accurate than if you got the etch-a-sketch out basically mate


DUH!

LOOK AT THE SCALES!

the line for torque and bhp are on different scales so of course it doesnt cross at that exact RPM.

The Computer that produced the graph has moved the scales to fit the page better.
