" A "wind" is the number of wires that are used to wrap around the part of the motor that spins inside (called the armature). For Touring Car use, the most popular wind for a modified motor is a "double wind", meaning that two wires are wrapped around the armature. Stock 27-turn motors use a "single" wind, so only one wire is wrapped around the armature, 27 times. The lower the number of winds, the faster the motor reaches top speed and the more torque it has. The higher the number of winds (usually up to six), the slower the motor reaches top speed. High-wind motors are usually used to race pan cars. "
"Well, in plain speaking language it refers to number of times the wires are wrapped around the armature. A 13 turn double would be 2 strands wrapped 13 times. A 13 turn single would be 1 wire wrapped 13 times. The double wires have more torque where as single wires have more speed. In general, it means that more turns means more torque but less speed and vice versa. That’s lower turns means lower torque and greater RPM. The number of winds describes how abruptly the motor accelerates. Fewer winds would mean less abrupt acceleration and more winds would lead to smoother accelerations."
So yeah, pretty much more winds = more torque and slower acceleration, but doesnt limit the top speed. _________________ Jeff Ferrara
