picture of mk2 8v power rohr ???

aye but Matt his is an imaginary power output,

 

it is imagininary at the minute because it hasnt been measured on a dyno any of us seem to be familiar with. once it has been tested (rollers or the road) it will all be clear, but curious about the car cos its rare to see an 8v thats had a lot of work put into it that way.

but as for imaginary figures, the best ive heard was a '280bhp' VR6 at a meet earlier this year, so i asked to see under the lid. no blower, not charger, no throttle bodies... apparently a cam job

he was sure he got 100bhp from a cam job, so without a RR to verify this, the voice of reason in my mind (a todler lol) suggested we go for a quick chase.

his excuse for mine passing him at the top of 4th was that his was wheelspinning.

so, getting it on the road (or rolling road) makes it all clear

 

well im obv a liar then arnt i.

 

would love you to prove me wrong i'm just a cynical old git

 

im cynical when it comes to rollers and power claims, but no one called you a liar tho, they couldnt, because nothing has been proven.

like has been said, claims hold true on the dyno, then it would probably be one of the most highly tuned 8v on this site (bar the one with nitrous)

 

il be at stealth, running my modified inlet manifold and we shall see what happens. i dont use a massivley wild cam because i beleive most 'race' cams produce power from say 4000 - 8500 .... in which case when im in tight corners etc it wud bog down and be ****!!

ok ive taken a pic of 1 of the pages i have, its not a graph its just the recorded figures of power at the wheels when the car first went on the rollers before we really got into it ....

il await more comments of "imaginary" and "just made it" etc.

 

no one said you were lying lol youre quite emotional tho

just get it down to the RR day and we'll see what it does, its all a bit of fun mate.

 

well its my time of the month isnt it what do you expect ....

 

get out in the car and go for a drive, that used to work for an ex of mine when the painters were in

 

lol i wud but im half way thru fitting a 10 point cage!!

il take the 1043cc polo out instead

 

youll come back fuming then

 

140bhp is entirely believable, do you have the final run?

 

hey dont knock it ...0- 60 in a calendar month!!!!

 

Prof thats at the wheels ..... did you think i meant 180 at the wheels before?????

 

ahh didn't spot at the wheels? 180 is in reason but not 215 unless you rev it very high

 

mine made 174 at stealth at... erm... 6400rpm

before, you used to feel the power tail off after that, now it doesnt seem too, but i dont go far past there ever anyway.

 

matt is that at flywheel yeh???

so do you think that 215 @ flywheel isnt pos using HUGE injectors, TBodies, Omex fuel management???

 

with a 300 deg cam big valves and lots of revs maybe

 

my 174 figure is at the flywheel, which i totally take with a pinch of salt because i simply dont beleive it is correct. but since then i did a decat and some other bits, so hence if i get 180 this time, ill be happy cos it shows it has gained power.

thats the point of a dyno. comparing gains or comparing your output to another measured on the same dyno.

to find out you bhp youll need the engine out and put on an actual engine dynomometer and then youll stand a chance of knowing the real output

 

matt yours is an ABF, we expect that power from one of those, not from an 8v really
