Plus powerstation's rollers are about 20bhp down on everywhere else in the country (i.e. less accurate), so it means that MWR 10 is not worth misssing!

i found powerstations rollers very accurate cos my MY99 just had a de cat and filter and it put out 240bhp which is right, other places mess with their rollers just to keep customers happy, no way my car was 260bhp with those mods so twigster is wrong.

Sorry Dave, but my car has a tek 2, full de-cat, induction with a cold air feed, samco hoses and always runs on Optimax. The power output is 265bhp and 260lb/ft torque, as measured at g-force in Aylesbury which is the most accurate rolling-road in the country!!

Powerstation said 240bhp and 240lb/ft torque, which is definitely not right.
Don't get me wrong, they are nice guys and the 4-wheel alignment and bumpsteer mods, plus all the whiteline stuff they do is excellent, but when it comes to the rollers they are not accurate, trust me, I have been to quite a few rr days!!

If you still don't believe me, do a run at g-force the next time there is one, I think you will be surprised at the power you have!! A de-cat was all I had last year, with an output of 255bhp at g-force which gave me a 1/4 mile time of 13.8 seconds!!

Also, your car is an MY99, which has probably an Ae800 or 801 ecu, which would actually give your car a standard BHP of around 220-230, a de-cat will easily release between 25-30bhp, which will put you well over 250bhp, menaing that 240 is wrong!! Do a thread in drivetrain, I promise you that your car will produce more than 240!!

yes my car is more than 240bhp cos she now has a tek3 fitted to her which she didn't the last time i run her on powerstations rollers when she put out that figure of 240bhp, the car is fitted with a 801 ecu which is meant to be one of the best so i'm just interested in running her again to see how much more power the tek3 has given me cos its the same rollers.
