JKM RR day - Saturday 2nd of February 2013

[Prawny]

With just a few days to go, is anyone else getting that ''what if my car's lost power and I've not noticed, then I'll have to fix it'' feeling?

Ok, just me then?

[Khare]

I always get that feeling 

But I think this time she's up on power. Arse dyno tells me so. I've since opened up the throttle body a bit more and I'm trying a new airbox. I've also switched to Vpower rather than momentum99, which I have a feeling it's done me a favour. 164hp to beat.

[Prawny]

Mine was unstrapped from the R-tech dyno at 353bhp, although on the road testing there were a few small issues with boost spiking from low revs, so Niki tweaked the N75 duty on spoolup and a big in the midrange to try and tame it a touch, and it didn't go back on the dyno afterwards as it was gone 6pm.

We never fully finished road testing the car because it was too late, so I don't really have any idea what it's current output will be! Especially on the famously cruel JKM rollers 

[Khare]

Time will tell

Especially on the famously cruel JKM rollers 

its only cruel to overinflated mk5 owner claims 

[Prawny]

Nah, it's cruel to everyone, but I think fairly honest really.

Worst one I saw was a chap with a mk4 ibiza IHI, who claimed it'd be 349bhp and it ran 272!

Is there something about mk5 owners and dyno comments I've missed? sounds like there's a story there 

[Wazzzer]

That was a good day, I don't think any of Mk5 boys made anywhere near their claimed power

[Prawny]

ah, another dyno day where a certain group turn out throwing some big numbers around, and all go away miserable?

Always hugely funny 

never quite so funny when it's your car though! Happened to me at JKM once, just two weeks after my st2 map was done, with a printout for 238bhp still warm from the tuners printer, they ran the car, and told me it was 197bhp and my turbo was totally shagged!

Not a fun drive home that day!

[JC]

That was a good day, I don't think any of Mk5 boys made anywhere near their claimed power

it became a very important matter

I remember that. Poor Robin. They had a RR day this weekend gone, I wonder how many cowboys went hunting for horses there?
