We were in the very fortunate / interesting position of being the very first two cars in to the Dartford Tunnel after it had been reopened following a brief closure, cue a rolling start from 20 in second gear to whatever the speed limit is in the tunnel . Nothing between the cars, not even half a meter difference, neither car even started to pull ahead momentarily.

Cue a second attempt - still no difference!

What was your peak torque Dan? Mine was about 280 lbs ft.

 

A good attempt at driving photography, on with cleaning my car now, its a bit cold

 

my peak was/is just over 275 @3750rpm ish. Peak HP is 251 @ 5500rpm. Is quite hard to tell because of the scale, ill try and get my graphs uploaded at somepoint.

I know for dam sure ill be getting her serviced before the next one, who knows there might be a cheeky de-cat and map involved.

 

They look good together
Must admit the mud flaps do look good was having second thoughts but mind made up now.
As I was in front most of the way home, missed the fun
Still good day and good to meet new faces.
New exhaust and map to come as soon as possible.

 

Ther service may have helped a bit.

Think the dirt on the outside held you back!

 

Either way, looks like you all had a great time on the first of many ESOC events.
At least nobody came away with a blown motor or any damage.
Ill just personally say a big thank you to Bean for organising the day and helping to ensure it all ran smoothly.
Well done guys,

 

Dacry..

if i knew you was going with the type r, id have took the meg..

maybe on the next one fella..

 

I took mine si, was thinking about taking the type r

Darc

 

You have a great looking car Darc, nice mods too 6 Speed and Sti top mount

Didnt fancy running yours?

 

yeah seems they didnt set the rev right and as such the torque figures will be lower than they should be.

Fans, strapping, environmental factors that are input (i cant see them clearly on the graphs) all play a key part in the DD results - they dont all produce the same results in shoot 44. Not knowing eurospec dynos I cant say whether high or low but it seems everyone was down. graph looks better on second run but happy to take another look at it for your matty if you are concerned

 

Looking on google it appears pretty common that Eurospec's Dyno comes out a little low. Maybe that's an excuse for another Dyno day in early summer :P

 

Worth a call to Charlie @ Surrey Rolling Road.
Superb guy and well respected venue and dyno operator

 

used their dyno when mapping a couple of subarus for them.

It reads lower than some..

clearly the gearing has not been entered correctly on Matt's P1, which will influence the rpm shown on the graph and the torque, power should be unaffected by that.

Simon

 

This is why I didn't bother with going to Eurospec RR day, if another day gets organised at a better place like srr I would be up for it

 

Simon, maybe you could be on hand if a day gets organised at SRR?

 

I will be up for another one to see if there is any difference in the results.
Bit off topic, any comments on my car as the "New Boy" would be apprciated.

 

Definitly possible

 

Newage sti? Standard?

Got the boost and afr graph?

 

YEH... shoulda bought a hawkeye!

haha na its sweet as it is mate.

 

Cheers Duncan
Im not overly bothered, it might have a tweak later on in the year. Its just strange how standard, aside from air filter and exhaust, in the first graph it came in 2 bhp higher than now, with a front mount new fuel pump remapped raising the boost, hey ho.
Many thanks to Al for arranging it and everyone who came to be deafened and frozen to death

 

Thanks buddy

I was tempted to run but didn't feel to confident on there rollers

Also no DET CANS were worn

Darcy

 

tbh it isnt usual for dyno operators to wear det cans - it is only if you have a mapper present such as simon or me (or any of the other mappers on here) that they have them on.

 

I don't really know what this proves, means or shows, but below is a very rough overlay of your graph (bright red line) and mine (pale line).

Very similar if not identical lines, just mine is a little above yours. Wonder if I actually had more power than you or it was just a difference in how they recorded our individual cars??

I have no idea about the history of my car, a 2005 Blob Eye but the only physical modification I am aware of is the Vortex Afterburner back box.

 

Tbh I would prefer the DET cans on and would if thought its a safety thing that they would use I have seen a fair few RRs do it

 

My ears still hurt from that evo, it was just far to loud.

I think Eurospec have a good enough set up compared to some 'tuners'.

 

Did a Fiesta ST dyno day at Hayes Eng. in Erith and put my STi on at the end of the session and said they rig det cans for all turbo cars. They also provide AFR profile on all cars.
I did suggest Hayes for this session but the one used seemed to be prefered

Ed mate , You have a nice example mate

With all the history you have with it , sounds like the car has been well looked after by it's previous owners , and well loved too

Plus what a bonus getting that number plate with it

Looking forward to seeing what mods you'll add to it in the future

 

Was liking your car too Darc

Would have liked to seen it on the rollers

But i was buzzing around you alot on the convoy down there thou

 

Romford Boy ... It was good to meet ya fella Hopefully see you at a few more events

Darc ... was it your mate in the white classic ?? Had a baseball cap and his GF in the car, got talking to him at the end Had to pull his tongue of my engine bay before i could leave

Scott , it was good to finally meet in the end Great pics on the pic thread

Martin 2010 .. Was just loving how the flames from your exhaust was lighting up the dyno bay

Inviroman ... Respect mate for all your help

Big thanks to Al for organising this

Great day out mate , totally enjoyed

And to everyone else that i couldn't say hi to .... sorry ... Bloody nagging kids ! what else can i say

 

My Dyno results .

Was expecting it to be between 200 and 210bhp and i would have been happy

Getting 222bhp , over the moon
