recently attended a rolling road day were a good few people saw poor results ,mostly down to cars running rich

can any of the gurus shead any light on this, i ve never had my car run in 3rd (5 speed) is this normal

to be fair i was happy enough but ignore the figures more than most

just trying to learn a bit as usual

We had a rolling road day in bournemouth last weekend and a lot of our figures were a lot lower than expected.At the end of the day its all about what its like on the road thats most important (although a decent power graph would be nice )
My well modded STi Type R only scraped past the 300 barrier and thats with a 20G turbo :shock:

I also believe that the reason 5 speed cars are run in 3rd gear is because it produces the most power in that gear

i know just what you mean, my figures ranged on the day from 350 to 394 but im not sure what the differences were between the runs

it would be nice to put some other minds at rest and give my self some knowledge incase i go on a simular day

hi rich, a mate of mine from work was also there and he said he thought his power was a bit down on what he thought he,d get. i was going to come up myself in my hawk eye but got held up. me and mate was thinking of booking in at bromsgrove for a run to see the difference. its close for me as i live in worcester just off junc 6.

im another worcester boy

I tend to use scooby Clinic as when i had my first RR done Power Station were in the middle of moving, now when every i go back to the clinic they print of comparisons to my last efforts - always been happy with them and worth the trip

in all honesty i never went to the bromsgrove rr day, if you stick to the big names and use each day as a comparison rather than a result you get far more out of it

now to find a rolling road that will give me 400bhp

my mate went there on tuesday, STi type UK newage, decatted, filter, just made 305 with 1.4 bar boost, thought this was a little low too?

what should thay make standard? its late 2005.

I take it that it's been remapped or was a PPP car..? (given the amount of boost).

If it's a PPP then I'd say it's about right (<300), ecutek (~330) a tad low. Std even with decat ~265 as ecu compensates for decat.

If it's making a genuine 1.4bar then it should be around the 330 mark IMO..

boost gauge in car reading 1.5, triton saw 1.4bar not remapped

There is a thread discussing mapping on the road versus on the rollers in this section. Well worth a read.

Can't see how it would be making 300 without mapping TBH as ECU just re-compensates. Also decatted un mapped, STI's are prone to overboosting/spiking..
