What happens when you hit fuel cut on the rollers ????????????????????????????????????

Neal

 

Hi Shep, the plan is to leave national bike museum at 7:30am and leave Strensham services Worcester at 8:30am to get to powerstation for 9am as they want the first car on the rollers at 9:30am. They have been busy putting Gatso camera's on M42 but we should make Strensham by 8:15am

Powerstation should get through five cars per hour so looking at 2:30pm finish

Ken

Alan, Rob, Julian and I will be there around 11.30am so make sure you save us a run !!!

Neal

 

Do you have a running order decided yet?
Can't leave too late coz it's my works Xmas Party that night and I have to be back to fetch my lady in good time.
Cheers m8
Marv

 

Like i said before ken (might need the trailer to get NM's car there)

LOL....... Hope he's not disapointed thou, after all they do say you get down to earth figures at powerstation, and not the usual keep em happy high ones!!!!!

see you all there, be round yours at 9:30am Alan in NM's car with JJ WRX in toe!! in not ON......

ROB........

 

sorry guys, i will have to drop out
3rd gear decided to go on me yesterday, while it was being remaped
was looking forward to it, as the results would of been intresting
may still drive down later on to watch

mikee

 

doh Mikee!!!!

do you need 3rd gear? i've heard your sort of conversion means there is plenty of torque - just use 5th

seriously though, its a shame we won't catch up. maybe next time and i hope the gearbox doesn't cost too much!

Kev

 

Nice one Ken

Shame I couldnt control my fuel cut, never mind the fitting of the Phase and TEK 2 PE ECU Group Buy will sort that out then I will be closer to your 300 BHP

Neal

 

Hi Neal, good turn out today. some interesting results. I will post them up later. Good luck trying to catch up with my 307 bhp
we got back a lot quicker than it took us to get there. must have been the traffic we scooby drivers don't exceed speed limits do we?

"Where did all the scoobies go?!"

Well I arrived on time, only to find I was Billy-Nissan-No-Mates...

I saw a group of the boys leaving, and waved but obviously being in the Nizzy I wasn't exactly conspicuous. Anyway, at least Rich was pleased to see me! (And my £25! ). Straight on the rollers as follows:



Results:

174 bhp @ Flywheel
127 bhp @ Rear wheels
158 lbs/ft

All achieved on cheap *** Tesco 95RON, and a motor with 105K miles on the clock!

Once I get some monster brakes on it, I'll improve power (and especially torque) by a decat downpipe and dawes device.

Regards to Ken for organising - Sorry I didn't get to meet you!

Squizz.

 

Oh yeah...I fancy me one o' them Spec C Carbon Fibre rear high level spoilers!

Now which car to put it on? The Impreza Turbo... Legacy Turbo... Nissan 200sx?

Squizz.

 

Yo, how's it hanging guys, hope u had a great day and everyones cars are ok

Been on my own fun day today to check out what the recent changes and remap by Matt and Bob have achieved, quite impressed

car boosting much higher now so much that in 5th and 6th gear she's going off the gauge to about 2.15 bar

managed 437 bhp at 6063 rpm with 395 lb torque, only gets to 1.7 bar on rollers though, not enough air to car

Many thanks to Well Lane, Bob Rawle and of course Roger Clark Motorsport

Stuck my graph up in my own thread.

Marv, did you have the handbrake on

only kidding m8, only a touch under what you wanted so well pleased for you.
Did you use the NF I gave you?

 

Kev, Good result m8

Paul, what happened to yours. I thought they had more than that as standard?

From what I know of a few of the cars the results do seem a bit on the low side.

 

Many thanks to

Ken for organising a top morning
Shep, Jullian, Ken and the other P1 we caught up with on the M5 for a fun ride home. Even though I was Kangarooing like Rolf Harris's bit of fluff on the side due to fuel cut and with my Blitz beeping like Road Runner on steroids trying to prevent it.

And a big thanks to Rob and Sausage fingers Dave for getting my car ready for a pre ECU fitting run. Great job lads

Cheers

Neal ~

 

Thanks again to Ken for organising this.
Ny figures are way down it should be 237bhp and 260lb/ft of torque this was the final straw for me and my car.
I've had it ten weeks and its been nothing but trouble with numerous problems and the dealer does'nt seem to be bothered to fix it....So i went there straight from Powerstation and got them to get me a replacement car, CTR here i come!!!
Nice meeting you all some awesome cars there.

 

RB5#111
don't be too disappointed m8, powerstation is well known throughout all car clubs as being low

if u go power engineering and well lane they are proper figures,
powerstation tell you that they are 'keep em happy figures', but their machines actually calculate transmission losses and don't estimate losing say 20%, think you'll find some peoples rollers guess flywheel figures.

if you take a genuine ppp car done by prodrive, you will always find they do "exactly what it says on the tin".........paying that much for ppp and prodrive being who they are, they would want you to check and prove they are right. ppp's never seem to make it at powerstation

...........anyway they kept me happy, now where's powerstations number, must book rollers and find my car is 'actually' only 295bhp

Daz

 

Thanks again for organising the day Ken - it was worth the drive down. Steady drive back eh Kev??

Scott - happy with the BHP figures, was still climbing slowly so he reckons it would have hit the 300 anyway. Used NF but hadn't had it in long so don't know if would have adjusted itself at that point. Torque figures need looking at tho ' - watch this space !!

 

so if powerstation are known by all car clubs as being low why is mine
223.5 bhp 200 lb/ft from a standard uk turbo thats done 133000 miles and is 10 years old

????


steve

 

....cause it's probably about 240 bhp ???

 

Gadet Daz,

Do you just make this stuff up ?

Powerstation's rollers do actually measure transmission losses (on the coast down) and the rollers themselves are routinely calibrated.

As for saying PPP doesn't make the power Prodrive quotes, maybe that is because the PPP doesn't actually give the power Prodrive quotes. How many times have you seen an exhaust system for sale that says it will give 40bhp gains. Do you actually believe you will get 40bhp ?

If you want some *really* good figures to take down the pub, go to Interpro in Bristol. Last time I heard their rollers give you some nice big gains.

Cheers

Ian

 

HANDBAGS AT DAWN


Neal

 

DO I MAKE THIS UP? LOL

yes m8, if u read my spec you'll add up to about 2500 bhp that's including me 40 bhp dumpvalve

ian, i don't think we've met, you obviously don't know me

..................think i'll go away now and not bother, cheerio guys, see ya soon
DAZ

 

lol at all the bickering.

Low, High, who cares, just use the same rollers throughout your cars mod hitory and the results WILL represent a useful figure to work with.

That's all that ultimately matters guys ! chill..

Andy.

 

Phew, just got back from Interpro in Bristol

cool, managed 590 bhp.........................where's Harvey's number.........





......i'll get me coat LOL

 

LOL LOL LOL: D


GO THEN

ROB.....
