Great Service from Powerstation
I attended the extraveganza at Powerstation today, it was a last minute decision but am I glad I went.
Won't go into too much detail but I was expecting my car to produce 330bhp very confidently. So was LeighF, both cars are STi7s with identical mods.
Things didn't go quite as expected for either of us. On a positive note the guys at Powerstation remapped my car free of charge. As you can imagine I went away extremely pleased, recorded 324bhp, boost a lot lower than before and extremely smooth to drive with no flat spots.
A big thank you to the guys at powerstation. The guys controlling the rolling road worked their socks off all day and Richie did a great job remapping the car. A big thumbs up.
Oops, nearly forgot - thanks to the guys who had to wait longer than anticipated due to my remap, particularly the silver impreza who I had to push in front of.
A goood result for Robocop with his PPP'd STi and what a result for the Holden, 440BHP.

Hi Mike
Glad everything worked out for you in the end and that after the initial gloom, you drove home with a smile on your face.
I take it Leigh left his there to be sorted?
Yes, I was very pleased with the 305bhp that my standard STi PPP produced.
I've been to a couple of rolling road days before, but Powerstation was the only place that utilized a cooling trunking on top of the intercooler (something like in the film E.T). I'm sure most people are aware that the top mounted intercoolers on Imprezas really do suffer from heat build up on rolling roads, so it is a testament to PowerStation’s professionalism that they go the extra mile and use this.
A very impressive setup and with luck, the next venue for South West Scoobies next rolling road day.
Top marks for Powerstation.

I saw the first car run and ("DET" which was easily audible at 3m away) around 4500rpm and slightly at the top end on the second run but the power curve was poor...
Didnt see the outcome of the remap but looks like they smiled again...
Just like to say thanks to PowerStation especially Curt and Andy who worked really hard in the dynocell to get through the runs
Hi Graham ...

Great day and thanks to the powerstation guys, my dirty P1 made 287bhp ( standard ) and my mates civic turbo made 337 ( tuned by me ! )
VERY impressed with the Powerstation premises and the proffesionalism these guys have, This is the place i would take my car, knocks the socks off most other places.

The plot at the top is Robocop's, I'll post my before and after plot later on this evening.

It seems there were quite a few SN members there at the same time as me (ie most of the morning), very good day.
The suprise for me was the stripped out battered Astra producing 245bhp IIRC) how noisy..!?
I was in my 05 blue WRX on after the astra. 274bhp/266ft-lb. quite pleased..

Suggestion:
We should all wear tags with a mug-shot and Snet name to it at the next 'gathering'.
I'm still confused as to who I met there, but all who I did meet were great people.
PS could have 'charged' a £10 note for charity I recon?
Bloody hard work ontop of all those screaming engines especially for Andy (Fuzz).
Maybe they will do theis again as a Scooby shoot-out?...Oh no, number chasing !
The Civic was astonishing, but what trans did it have to take that lot?

Good idea Graham, or maybe a red carnation..?
LOL still not sure who I met either..?
When was this Civic up..? I left at 12.15 just as an ITR was going on, I'd been going for over an hour but kept thinking I'll just see this next one then go... then this next one and I'll go... humm, this looks interesting I'll just see this then go........!
PS I got there before the tea wagon at 9am. Would have been earlier if it wasn't for all the RFL fans going to Cardiff..!

Yes we are indeed, I am holding any judgment on the whole thing until I have had a good chat with guy who did re-map, whilst not overly happy at moment dont see any point in bouncing around as Mr Angry. Keep you posted once I know what is happening.

When I had my remap done at Powerstation my wheel HP was 192 - alot more - although my engine power was 310BHP (only 4HP different!).The major difference was in the measured drag.
Am I right in saying that wheel HP is what's actually measured and BHP at the fly is interpreted from that figure and the coast down?

Interesting comment about w/hp I noticed the same thing on Saturday. My 05 WRX made 274bhp with 180bhp at the wheels, was quite supprised with robocops strange figures.
IIRC engine power and torque figures are interpolated (sp?) from w/hp. Can someone confirm this..?
