Title: Rolling road set up
Post by: devilscaff on 13 November 2012, 17:05

Had me 1990 16v rolling road tuned today, and after a little tweet came back at 146.5 hp was quite pleased for a standard set-up. The car has done 165000 but the engine has done 115000 so for an old car she can still hold her own even showing up a few fat mk3 and mk4's

If you want a bit of induction noise. Take the base of the airbox out and then take the snorkel out of the base of the airbox, it pulls out via the front of the airbox. Stick base back in and away ya go

what where the torque figures on your rr plot

Didn't get toque figures just performance

Well technically you didn't get performance. You just got a figure saying what power it "could" produce.

BHP is just a number without a NM figure.

Exactly. The car is proven to be in good health and thats all you want.

Rr figures are used as a guide for your car should you then modify it, everything else is just pub talk
