172+head work +cams +unichip

[m@thew]

finally got all my mods finished today

had the car mapped at Nobles in chesterfield

made mailto:190bhp@fly">190bhp@fly

can people who had there cars on the rollers there (172/cup owners) post there bhp. From memory most made around the 160 mark as nobles tend to give low ish figures.



thanks.

 

[JAY172]

pleased with it then. my mate had a bad run in with nobles. how much do they charge for a power run on the rollers?

 

[m@thew]

£28 for 2wd £38 for 4wd

yeh im very happy with the car now

 

[JAY172]

i live not far from nobles so i might get one done just to see what ive got. Is 190bhp what you were expecting?

 

[Adams_16v]

cool, impressive mate! nobles did give lowish results last time, i remember that! or maybe realistic results is more like it

 

[JAY172]

have you had a run at nobles?

 

[Adams_16v]

i did about a year back aye.

 

[JAY172]

was your reading slightly lower then expected then mate?

 

[BenR]

i would expect you to be over the 200bhp mark with all that, if the work was done properly.

 

[Neil82]

And he will be on other RRs.

 

[rt172]

I think everyone got very low figures at that Nobles RR day.

 

[George16v]

Sounds wicked mate, You must have forked out alot for all that lot eh!

yes. lol, id only done 1500 miles since a full rebuild though, but only managed 147@fly which i thought was crap, but 2 other modded valvers on the day ran around 120@fly. Since ran over 160@fly on 2 other rollers. although i suspect one was a tad high at 169@fly hehe.

I bet mat gets more like 200 on other rollers.

 

[JAY172]

might have a run on nobles rollers but i just wanted to know how much they seem to under read before i did.

 

[Adams_16v]

ill have another run if u wanna go mate.

need to get a gearbox 1st though, this bloke is takin forever, might just get a 16v box instead.

 

[JAY172]

ok mate.when youve sorted it well go up then.

 

[m@thew]

be warned theres a 2-3 week waiting list to get in at nobles

 

[JAY172]

ok.whats the phone number mathew?

just wot i was thinkin

I also had the same work done, although Im getting 183 at the wheels. In addition to the head itself work was done on the inlet manifold and porting to the head. I probably spent most time/money on that headwork. What cams are you using and what profiles? Presumably youve gone for fast road cams and kept the hydraulic lifters and standard springs?

Do you also have a torque figure + rpm for max power and max torque?

 

[Neil82]

Philip did you made 183@ wheels at nobles? Cant really compare if not.
