Mine dynoed at 262 bhp and 190 ibls feet in the last car with a different exhaust . It's now 215 bhp and 170 ibls feet on the dyno-dynamics rollers at Torque of the Devil . It's still quick though

[Guest]

Fook me 50bhp and 20lbft difference.

 

What was different about the exhaust ?

 

Is the one you have now off a standard 100E ?

 

 

I see all those Scots boys in this months Retro Ford were down on their expected figures on a Dyno Dynamics rolling road. Seems to be a bit of a trend emerging.

Different dynos give different readings mate that's all . Mine will be much higher on some others no doubt

[Guest]

I know what you are saying but 50bhp is one hell of a difference mate I would expect 5% or possibly 10% between rollers but yours is over 25% man..

 

Whats it do on a quarter ?

[Guest MK1gaz]

Most engines make will less power when tested on a dynamo-dynamics rolling road . In fact every engine that's been run on Torque of the Devils new rollers makes less power than it did elsewhere . Some are 15 bhp down , some are 30 bhp down , some are 50 bhp and the turbos are sometimes 100 bhp down !!!!!!! . Don't compare an engines power figuires from one dyno to another as it's not a true comparision really

[Guest MK1gaz]

Find out on April 20th , running at Pod with no slicks , no gas , no turbo and no bits missing . Hoping to go 13.5 secs or faster

He has got to get to brunters in one piece, then drive it home, then drive all the way back up to pod on the same weekend to race

Thats why im not bothering with central day this year, for one i cant afford both and two its too close to brunters on the 18th

This I gotta see!!

 

Are you in on the Brunters then Kev?

 

Edit - I've just checked and you are!!

[kevmk2]

I should be there mate, got about 2mm left on my road tyres at the moment, and cant afford new ones yet, due to being out of work again .

But we will see what happens

[Toby]

I'm going to continue this chat in the Thrash post so as not to spoil the Original Post.

[Guest MK1gaz]

What you hoping to run at Bruntingthorpe?

hoping to do a 13.5 sec (or faster) 1/4 mile without gas , slicks , turbos , weight saving , etc etc and do it on cheap A539 175/50/13's

No sweat Kev , mines a comfy road car so apart from a few bolts falling out it will be fine (not sure about the 1100 halfshafts though)

[Toby]

Shafts'll be fine at Brunters from the "ice rink" rumours.

[Guest MK1gaz]

Everywhere's an ice rink without slicks
