LADIES.....
RR are only good for BHP at the wheels......!!!!
If the engine has been on the dyno and got 230BHP than thats what you go with..!
Front wheel drive cars have 17% losses with most types of RRs with 4wd the losses are 26% approx.
For me its the best road enginebuild to date so leave it at that and wait to meet it on the track...!
went very well on track today for testing... toasting most things...
we did have a problem with noise levels though so more silencers needed... its got 2 now... and still too loud.
225 in the dyno cell, rr figures with losses etc etc worked out to be 229, so pretty damn close.
I am happy with it..
170 odd ft/lbs at 5000 ish rpm
will print a graph soon...
thanks for all the kind words... oh! i made it all up and guess the figures.... its also got lego con rods.
Dyno shootout day required, someone get it sorted.. I can get one sorted at System R in Warrington if you want.
But you will be in Type R territory:- Gruppe M induction kit, Full TODA manifold and exhaust and K-pro ECU 200 @ the wheels.....! Many cars had the same mods done with repeatable figures.
Hope that wasnt pointed to the Type R tuning as you would be mistaken but im sure it wasnt.
At the last Type R shoot out the above spec got mailto:199@the">199@the wheels (there were 3 cars with the same spec and all got within 3BHP on the rolloers)and the 182 there got 153@ the wheels. Having been in the car i know there was a big difference. It left my Cup for dead..!

were they all on PE2s aswell????
Renault Laguna Coupe
The Yozzasport Cup was indeed impressive at Donington last night. I have no difficulty believing the power figures. Such a neat and tidy engine bay too.
But jeezuz it was NOISY!

lol yeah, you can tell hes arrived by the black flags!
Scooby STi, FiestaST

Cheers Mike, you ran off sharpish. Cheers for a good old evening.
We had a good shakedown run at Donnington on Friday night, ironed out one or two little glitches. Temperatures (Oil & Coolant) were stable after a good 7/8 lap thrashing, could not get a flat out lap down as we need to make a few modifications to the exhaust now over the next few weeks, but we had already planned that, to clam down the exhaust bark that is now present with the bodies.
Power is awesome, very deliverable, easy to get down with no HUGE wallop of power that causes the car to spin up. It was running on road tyres and was immensely nimble around the circuit considering the power its now pushing. We will be having a re-think about the system to try and get as much power yet reducing the noise.
Will keep you all updated.
Dyno figures are REALLY hard to argue with folks, I dont want to get into a shin-dig with people, but... we use the dyno used and configured by cosworth... I am happy to come down to a rolling road day if people dont believe the engine dyno figures.
As most people know, it not something that I am shy about, nor with the 1/4 mile, I would just prefer to see the cars compete something other than a saline environment. The car has been mapped now, its not going to change much, the biggest problem we have had is wheelspin on the rollers, I dont know how to change that, maybe some of you who do more of the RR shootouts might advise. The car is cambered up for track, so short of ditching the suspension to prove our engine dyno figures, I am at a loss. LOL.
I am not all that bothered about BHP or Torque to be honest, I want to know how many seconds a lap the extra power will knock off my best times, or how much more drivability it will give me in terms of staying out for longer, and driving it harder...
Cheers for all the turmoil on the thread. LOL
Drive Safely.

rolling roads mean sweet fa, if your car can perform do so on road not on metal rollers, i can show u a renault 5 that produces a max of 200bhp at 1 bar or 226 at 1.5bar on any good roller u put it on, yet it will easily beat any clio all day on track or 1/4mile bearing in mind its allready run a mid 11 at pod this year and is top of its class in hill climbs... only 200bhp though and no n20 either just a crappy 40 yr old push rod engine
