Huh?

Sorry about that, the dyno here prints out in metric measurements, I will see if I can find a conversion formula.

Okay got it

1 Kilowatt = 1.34102209 hp so 170 x 1.34102209 = 228 Hp


As for changing Nm to torque I am not sure about the figures because there are several formulas. including time in seconds. And I am not sure weither you square it or divide it.

Well as for the torque curve being dead flat there was a slight rise and fall but nothing much.
