Just Got Back From A Rolling Road...

[Fizz]

Pro Sport in Stockport...

Totally standard Rev 3 @ 0.5Bar boost - Car wont boost over that.. have a problem with it at the mo...

these were the figures.... :bookworm:

Engine Performance

237.5 bhp @ 6080 rpm

Torque

219.3 lb/ft @ 5020 rpm

So all in all... cant complain.. as it was only .5 bar... cant wait to get the boost sorted and get it up to its best again... will be hopin for 250/260bhp...

[ricomr2]

Nice one mate. you'll probably get about 270 from it easy with the boost up a tad

[Jimlad]

once you get it sorted mate you should be looking at some good figures. Stock rev3's get good results.

I would say about 250/260 is probably what you'd expect.

[Fizz]

indeedy...

Im just glad that it still pushed out those figures with low boost.. my first run was at 200bhp.. and i was almost cryin but they ran it again a couple of times.. and it hit this... *phew

They have new gear in place and specialise in Scoobies and Evo's... so they know what they are doign with powerful mota's..

[gordypix]

Give up the ghost. You wont make it go faster ......Get a lada instead.......

[Jimlad]

why's it not hitting full boost mate?

[Bibbs]

why's it not hitting full boost mate?

think it's down to a dodgy actuator ..

I've given him a few tips to diagnose it ..

[Jimlad]

dodgy actuator ?? ....

I thought it was just a case of they can go soft. Mainly due to the amount of heat around the turbo. If this was the case it simply wouldn't be able to hold full boost... surely not boost only to 0.5bar ?

weird.... hope you get it sorted Fizz.

[Fizz]

likewise matey...

and Mr.Pixx... i'll get back to you on the lada...

[Fizz]

Some pics for you people...

Please take special note of the 1984 Porsche 911 3.2 Turbo!!!

What an amazing beast!... he went on the rollers after we had finished...and WOW

Never heard a car scream like it did!!!!!

The owner thought it was about 360/370bhp at least... when he took one of the guys for a blast from the garage last week.. he was told that it was defo above 400bhp... and that he should bring it in to get tested...

And that thing pushed out an awsome 457bhp with a torque figure of 467 lb/ft!!!!

They had to get 2 peeps in the back of the car to weigh it down as it was slipping.. and even with them in it.. it still slipped... they estimate the true power is at more like 470bhp...

It was a minter!... made my day anyway.. :P

Some very High Res pics in this link

Link to Pics... none of my car though!!!

sorry i couldnt make it.

but reading the other forum, sounds like you all had a good time. :)

mine got 264bhp when it was standard on their rollers, so i'd expect yours will be the same.

it was awesome mate... even had A/C...E/W... E/S!! for a 20 year old car.. thats !Removed! cool...

Ohh.. and i forgot to mention that it only has 4 gears!! and hit 175mph....

[Stu8]

It hit 175mph!!

Glad i wasnt there then. :P

I hit 108.5mph @ 6000rpm, and that was fast enough for those rollers.

[GT4 BOOSTER]

did the guys tweek the car whilst testing it for you , or just get a max power reading????

they tied the porche down with straps too i see .

no tweaking.. just reading & print out... And yeah.. they made sure the Porka was tied down big time!...

Stu - I was stood next to the car when it did its 2 runs.. and the screaming noise was AWESOME!... esp when it hit 175mph! :!Removed!: B)

My car reached 106.6mph...

[GT4 BOOSTER]

106 mph so its safe to say when our cars are reading 120 mph we arn't doing this speed ???

[Fizz]

he told me that my speedo was abotu 20% faster than my actual speed.. but then that could be because there aint much rubber left on the tyre..

Was told that when my speedo reads 30mph.. im actually doing 26mph...

rather that way than the other.. :D

[GT4 BOOSTER]

ACCORDING TO HERE http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

when i'm doing 60 mph i'm actually doing 62.8 ,because of my new alloys

[dawesy]

well done fizz. all you need is to sort the boost add a few choice goodies, hello 300bhp :)
