Yorkshire RR Day Results!

[Chris_90]

I dont understand how your car danny with them mods pulled such a low power even more so when your over 30psi?

But once you sort it should be a right animal! Such a nice car! But if you do lose the love feel free to sell me them wheels

[lolsteve]

Quick question about these figures?
Are they Bhp or hp? since my car was 160ps as standard new which translates to 158 (B?)hp

On the graphs it's written as engine power:146hp and Wheel power 120hp. Does this mean I've lost 15bhp or 38bhp or did I never have 160bhp and it was 160hp and after drivetrain losses it was more like 135bhp?

[Toms306]

PS is pointless, it just makes cars look a bit more powerful written down lol.

So yeah you should've had ~158bhp at the engine to start with. Obviously you lose ~15bhp or so through the drivetrain so wheel power will be less. So basically, assuming your car left the factory with 158bhp, you've only lost 12bhp......

[Rippthrough]

You might not have lost it, quite often manufacturers figures are done without the belt driving the water pump/PAS and alternator on

Burned to clean and vey quickly because the lda pin wasn't even engaging till the last cm or so on throttle arm travel. Ie it wasn't adding more fuel when it needed it top end was running lean on boost

[DazzaHDI]

So Danny was the one that bought those minilites from will the other month, snapped them up quick! Looks like some decent results there, I would like to attend the next one if it's not too far away, I only live up the road from zx too so if I could keep up with him lol I would follow him

Manufacturers figures are always at the flywheel mate, 135bhp at the wheels is probably about what you had new, for the first 3k until the first HG blew

oooooo So should be all good now then you fiddled with it, would love to see what it pulls once its sorted

[Danny2009]

Jenks seems to have sorted it just needs setting up properly now

Not drove it since Saturday ill get round to it eventually

[Jenkosowls]

Blind running so couldn't guarantee Danny said it felt lol it pulled better but I personally couldn't say

Anyone get vid of my van on the dyno as my camera didn't record it!

[lolsteve]

okay so it's not just rover conning me out of power, everyone does it

[Rippthrough]

Not everyone, but off the top of my head, Honda, Mazda, Rover did it and possibly still do, even aston and jag used to pull those tricks.

so just confirming a gti6 is 167 at the flywheel then ?

[jammapic]

Yes. A healthy GTi-6, boggo stock would pull about 140hp at the wheels.

With an airfilter, an exhaust and intake cam advanced slightly mine ran 177hp @ the flywheel and 144hp at the wheels.

should've just bought a 6 . . .

[jammapic]

and with the throttle bodies and mapped it did 205hp at the flywheel and 168hp at the wheels

[lolsteve]

Goodgood, was worried the gti was 167 at the wheel and im stuck at 135 kind of thing. project beat a gti6 is back in action

[martyn92]

[ginge191]

Some awesome results there!

I'm surprised spellowe hasn't jumped in and started a bandwagon of some description?
