Default And the dyno says....

225 BHP and 225 FTLB, its not a massive figure and I'm happy with that. Its a MY98 uk tubby with just a scoobysport back box, JR panel filter and a BOV. The dyno guy did say that the car is running spot on with no fueling issues at all.

£8 a run ..... not bad - I suppose 5 cars could have a go rather than 1 x 5 times?

multiple runs is a good idea, each run will give different results as the car gets warmer etc.

It's a piece of test equipment! and like all such kit, it has to be set up for the best possible test. The car has to be brought up to temp as well as cooled, tyres grip better warm, and the operator has to do a few runs for checking purposes and consistency. Your operator has done the correct thing, by placing emphasis on the AFR result. The figure is what the figure is, important, but by no means indicative of fitness of purpose.

I would think that the actual number is of little significance - the change in that number if any mods are carried out would be the reason for doing a Dyno Test I would have thought?

But, then, different day - different result, even for the same car?

I'm pretty similar to you: UK classic 97 std is 208 bhp, but has centre decat, green air filter and sti backbox and has made 220 on two RR. Best of all was knowing that everything was 'spot on' with no issues.

Full decat, TD05 and remap coming soon

Forgive me for being stupid, but, why would a GREEN Filter increase power?

What about a Blue one? Red? Or say, a striped yellow/orange one? Would a Polka Dot one give patchy power increases?

Changing the subject slightly, but we did have one guy come in who wanted us to paint his Evo 6 intercooler black, as he'd been told it would be more efficient. Nothing we said about it could make him change his mind, so we just did as the Man asked!

Sounds like he was reading something on ScoobyNet

Probably read about HeatSoak and believed it

First run was on Tesco 99 but the next run was a few months later at Triton Motorsports and the car had Shell V-power.

Cheers Nick. Doesn't suggest that the V Power generated much bhp, does it ?

In terms of octane ratings they're supposed to be very similar aren't they? I know the car pulls more strongly low down with tesco 99 ron but after a few tanks of it it starts to sound a bit rough...

I was comparing the 215bhp of a std car on 95 ron with yours on VPower with a Scoobyworld backbox.
