Thats what I dyno'd today.
Quite pleased

sounds good which dyno? and how much torque?

[uktotty]

A roller one and no idea

[loadswine]

That seems pretty reasonable to me Russ. Good old Unichip!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

[uktotty]

Good old unichip was disconnected Nige as it went tits up last week.
Not sure whether to refit it, bin it, return it or emanage it

[loadswine]

Ah! Bad old Unichip then!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  
That is particularly good then mate, as I think you have an AEM intake and no precats, but no other power adders. Or do you?  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

[uktotty]

well remembered
AEM
Remus Pipes
No precats and nothing else

in whihc case teh dyno is over reading

[custardavenger]

Thats what I thought till I asked the guy running it. It automaticaly calculates to flywheel.   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

[aluk49]

Bugger!! I was just going to buy some mongos to get mine up to153!

+1, and by miles. I'd be after a refund, personally.

Maybe it read his shirt?

Thats what I thought till I asked the guy running it. It automaticaly calculates to flywheel.   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

still has to be calibrated, sounds like they are assuming way too much drivetrain losses

not used to working with scoobies and evos by any chance?

[custardavenger]

I think the guy running it has sex with the dyno cos as far as he was concerned it's the best in the world and all else is rubbish. Apparently one of the many reasons it's better is because it's self calibrating but it's not the mass roller type.   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

[markiii]

think that rather says it all then  :-) :-) :-)

[uktotty]

The guy kept saying it was auto calibrating and 100% accurate!

[Anonymous]

Yeah, he was talking crap. No dyno is 100% accurate unless you take the engine out and do it that way, or you measure the power at the wheels. Unless you've got those measurements as well, then it was a bit of a waste of time.


Maybe I should take the Zed there, be the first 400bhp N/A one in the country!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

[loadswine]

Might be an idea to know if other cars on the day had readings higher than the owners imagined. That might put figures into perspective. Dynos are a lottery, we read again and again, but comparison with other cars in attendance, is always interesting.

[uktotty]

Mine was the only MK3.


Some other feedback

Well happy with my 205bhp, certainly know why my mk1 V6 goes quite well now
Anyhow - 200bhp a the fly aint bad for an n/a engine thats supposedly an "economy" version and has done over 200k miles..
Very happy with my 218bhp on a standard motor
I was well pleased with my best run returning 188.2bhp and a nice flat torque curve

[custardavenger]

I won't go through all the guy said but he did mention he has a stock saxo whis has 125BHP as stock from factory and thats exaclty what it measures on their dyno so that show how acurate it is. lol

[custardavenger]

Oh yeah and runs were done in 3rd

[loadswine]

I always thought they used 4th, but I'm not sure why. Could possibly be something about trying to get close to1:1 ratio engine to FD? I'm no expert on this stuff though.
Bottom line if everyone had a good day, then superb!

[custardavenger]

aparently someone didn't but no one is saying what happened.

[loadswine]

Now that IS interesting!

[custardavenger]

I'm wondering if it was the skyline that was supposed to be turning up. Someone said it was the 4 wheel drive version but you could make it 2WD buy removing a fuse   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  . Maybe he totaled his diff?
