Went in bog standard. After check over, including DV remove & inspect, rolling road said this:
204Hp @5500rpm
211lbft @3000rpm
(Tesco Momentum 99, warm day last Sat - 26C)
30 mins later rolling road said this:
240Hp @5400rpm
301lbft @3100rpm (!!!!)
While torque is about 20%-30% higher throughout the range, the 300lbft (40% increase
) is a hillock that sits on top of this starting at 2700rpm and returning to 30% extra @4000rpm. Need to be careful of this in 1st and 2nd to avoid wheel spin, and be a bit sensitive not to give the poor old clutch too much of a slam, but in higher gears it's pure stonk
95%+ of peak power runs all the way from around 4400rpm to 6100rpm, and is still higher than the peak stock power of 200ish at the redline. I'd upload the chart if I can work out how (insert file path/name between the img things that appear when you press the "Insert image" button doesn't seem to work).
Big thanks to the chaps at R-Tech!
Very happy with the extra poke, and this is the finishing touch on my tweaks:
* Bought red 57 plate 5 door manual (no sun roof), running on 17s, in April
* Ferrodo DS2500 pads all round
* Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2s
* Retrofitted: parking sensors, iPod Dension 100 gateway, cruise control
* Diamond Brite inside & out (bought off eBay and applied myself)
* Full service (including repalcing: timing belt, water pump, cam follower, oil)
This is my perfect spec (family car - wife vetoed things that would compromise ride, sound, or driveability)
