Smile My Cars Dyno Results

Thought I'd share this with the Scoobynetters. Was REALLY surprised when I took my RB5 down to the Power Engineering Rolling Road. More for a bit of fun than anything as we had a guess the BHP competition on the RB5 OC Site.

Only have Blitz Nur Spec R (full system), Xtreme Scoobies Down Pipe and Graham Goode Racing Induction Kit.

Comments on what you guys think?

Decent power and torque, but not a great surprise at PE, which tends to be on the optimistic side compared to many rollers. Some people have got 250bhp with just a backbox there - 280bhp is not unusual there for full exhaust and remap.

Not aiming to take anything away from you - I still believe that what the car does on the road is the key thing, and if you're happy with how it drives, that's what matters.

Cheers Hades, appreciate your comments.

I've never done this kind of thing before so I was surprised. Perhaps naive judging from your comments.

All good mate.

The figures don't really matter what is more important is the shape of the plots and your torque plot is nice and flat..!

As said above, thats one hell of a healthy torque curve, nothing wrong with that car

And save the figures for the pub

Jay (booking into PE soon)
