Title: Enforcer Full Production "level six" Braking Performance for ISX 1, ISX 2, and ISX 3
Key Question: What are the three Enforcer '02 Full Production brake performance curves, and how
do they compare to their '99 APEX predecessors?

Engine Speed [RPM]

ISX 3 FP Level 6 ISX 2 FP Level 6 ISX 1 FP Level 6 '99 Sig (six cyl)
'99 ISX 2 (six cyl) '99 ISX 1 (six cyl)

Results:
- Enf '02 ISX 1 clearly has the best braking performance. (High compression ratio)
- Enf '02 ISX 2 / ISX 3 have very comparable performance curves at all but the very highest engine speeds.
- Enf '02 clearly is a major improvement over the '99 APEX.
- The largest single point of improvement is ISX 1 @ 1700 RPM, where the improvement is 126 Hp (over 35%) !!!!!!!!!!!
- Total retarding power can be calculated by adding the estimated Enf '02 Fan power to the values tabulated below.
Engine Speed Measured Engine/Brake Retarding Power [Hp] Estimated Enf '02 Fan
[RPM] ISX 1 ISX 2 ISX 3 Power [Hp]
1100 137 112 124 10
1300 220 189 194 17
1500 361 303 318 26
1700 479 440 449 37
1900 520 515 519 52
2100 560 562 600 70
Conclusions:
- The addition of variable geometry turbo allowed for major improvements in retarding power.
