FAO Bambam & Fred2001

[Tom]

72 bhp!!!

ahahahahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahahahah

hahahahahahahahahahahah

 

[GR7]

You probably would only have about the same Tom wouldnt you?

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Ive got more bhp than you

As Ive got a 172 and you havent!!!!!

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Excuse me for asking Tom, but how can you have 72 bhp if your profile says "Dead 1.2 16V" ....LOL

 

[Tom]

whoops sorry

 

[Steveold]

Was that not at the wheels 72 bhp @ wheels??? Tom yours was at the flywheel not the wheels....

 

[R3OBC]

yeah thats what i was thinking! And that is one hell of a power gain aint it??? LOL think i will need to get me an induction kit! Pretty impressive that

 

[Steveold]

Ive got the k-tec relocation pipe and a k-tec exhaust, I wonder what mine kicks out....... Man where is Fred I was to know the estimated figures at flywheel the torque too...

 

[R3OBC]

yeah Fred...............where are ya man???? LOL at the moment i have a JETEX Panel filter, and am wanting to get the K-tec Twin tail system CAT-back (once i have renewed my insurance)! Depending on what fred says and has, i may be purchasing this K-tec relocation n filter too!!!!! Hmmmmmmm............come on fred............Give us some details lol

 

[Steveold]

Tut is he not here yet? Come on Fred skive work and get ur arse on here LOL

 

[Tom]

if thats the power a the wheels i take it all back

that means that bambam had a 16bhp gain from a cat back exhaust and an induction kit

sounds mental if its true

 

[Daz]

Yes, they both got 72.2bhp AT THE WHEELS.

Daz.

 

[R3OBC]

........how many 1.2 16v owners are shocked by this?????????LOL

 

[Tom]

Well im stunned

that kind of gain from those mods is rare

i feel i must apologise but you can understand my disbelief!

so sorry mates!!

 

[R3OBC]

there something funny about all this..............they always break, piss us off...........Feckin OIL.............then they do something like this just to make up with us again............

 

[Steveold]

I told you lot my car was faster with these mods.... No one believed me did they.... Now the proof is on paper!

 

[R3OBC]

does fred have the relocation pipe and pipercross then??? the standard air box must put one hell of a restriction on the engine if you can free up that much bhp?!?!?! So Tom, what was yours at the wheels as standard? Just for comparason.........56bhp?

 

[Tom]

60.3

 

[R3OBC]

so we are talkin 12bhp gain.........not bad for simple mods on a 1149cc

 

[Steveold]

Ahhhh poor Tom...... Told U to get an induction kit 4 urs didnt I....



Yes Fred has an induction kit... Not sure what one....

 

[Steveold]

I might slick 50 my engine and box then to squeese some more out of it LOL

 

[Tom]

mine is on the car now but the car dont work (mine has a powerflow on it now too)

fred has the piper x one like me

any torque figures?

Mine should be pushing something like 72-75 at the wheels now

 

[Tom]

actually no it wont because my gearbox is new so the power loss would be massive

 

[Steveold]

FRED WHERE R U? LOL

Hey imagine the kinda BHP your get with a Remap hahahahhahahaha It will be pushing 95Bhp+ @ flywheel hahahahahahhaha 1149cc LOL

 

[Tom]

you know that figure equates to about 92bhp @ the fly anyway

bams power loss was huge something like 20+bhp

i want 114.9 bhp

100bhp/litre!!

 

[Steveold]

So maybe the tapping noise I get is coz my engine is at such a high state of tune that it taps... hahahahaha

 

[Roamer]

Just remember guys that you shouldnt cross-compare figures from one RR system with another, as they are not all calibrated the same, and therefore WILL give different readings, only way to compare is to go back to the same one as you first tested it on.

 

[Tom]

good point

 

[R3OBC]

Steve............u ever opened ur bonnet and listened to the front of the engine???? Its loud as hell aint it. Must be a fix for it???tap tap tap as i roll along in my nineteen-canteen ford

 

[Steveold]

I bloody hear mine going up the motorway with a loud exhaust!!!! I just want to put sawdust in it to quiet it down......

 

[Tom]

lol sawdust

tried using a diffrent oil mine isnt that bad

total quartz 9000 in mine

 

[Steveold]

hmmmm i will put some real think sh*t in it then that will shut it up eh....

 

[Tom]

maybe

bloody car i dont want mine back from the dealer

unless it has 200bhp

 

[R3OBC]

S8..............how can u want a clio????????? LOL! So do you reccon Magantec would quieten the sh*tty tick tock down??? Just booked my car into Renault Leeds on Monday 3rd of March. sittin wi car while they source the oil leak...........AGAIN!...........good job ill be on holiday! Gonna mention those tappets too! The standard engine oil does seem to be quite thin i think............would that make a difference to the tappets noise?

 

[Tom]

check the box too

 

[R3OBC]

tom, i aint exactly sure where to check what ur meaning............maybe its the box leaking that it dripping off lol..............tell me where to look mate???? best put it in simple terms for the non-mechanic minded lol

 

[Tom]

erm look at the box from under the car under where the drive shaft comes out

if there is oil in the tray under the box - oh dear

if there is a crack in the housing oh dear

 

[R3OBC]

Ill just say to renualt as i always do............i talk to a lot of other owners, and i have heard that the gearbox has caused problems...........is this the case???? lol, or words to that effect

 

[Tom]

yeah thats sounds about right

 

[BRUN]

tom which total 9000 are you using ?

the 5W-40 ?.......ive got 2 of those under my bed at the moment......how much did you pay for a bottle ?

 

[Bryan]

yep tom, 72.2 ATW @ 5500

not to sure on the road though, they seemed to run them very differently, i will have to go back to BBT and see what i get there

not bad though from an exhaust + filter though (plus 1000 miles on the clock)
