cheers
jon

 

[Kelly]

Hiya Jon

I know mine gets 130 at the wheels cos I had it RRd when i bought it, to check the timing n fueling and stuff

But look forward to meeting you guys at the RR day

 

[Kelly]

And whilst youre here, i got my phone fixed now so I wont completely ignore your texts Sorry bout that.

Been to Rochdale recently? Text me and I promise to reply

 

[Captain Slarty]

Just a note of mild caution

the rollers at Bury are spot on accurate.

If your car is std, then I very much doubt 130 @ Wheels.

if you have played with it - a lot.. then who knows..

a std 172 will give about 130 ish at the wheels.

Joe.

 

[desmondo]

Er dunno!

This is the first time its been RRd so this is my starting point!

 

[BRUN]

im hopin for 90bhp

dunno what ill get though, my car is 75bhp as standard

 

[BRUN]

o, an that wont be at the wheels will it

how do you work out power at the wheels off the fly figure ?

 

[Captain Slarty]

Ya dont brun LOL

ya work the power at the flywheel from the TORQUE at the wheels, the RR ONLY measures torque..

from torque at the wheels, you can calculate NHP, and then from a process of cosat down testing, you can tell the power lost by the transmission / tyres etc...

Joe.

 

[rt172]

Im hoping to get 350bhp at the wheels with my disconnected airbox piping, lowering springs, clear side-repeaters, mesh and, of course, my ClioSport.net sticker

Rhys

 

[BRUN]

oh yea, i still havent bought mine, i could do with the extra 100bhp too hehehe

 

[Captain Slarty]

Rhys LMAO !!

I think you may be juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a tad optimistic.. but who knows the power of the CS sticker..

in fact, heres the deal.. someone bring some spankin new CS small stickers, and i will buy one !!

Joe.

 

[paddymph]

I know Ill get 350BHP at the WHEELS.
How? Because I secretely have been fitting this:

Beat that Joe, Mwoohahararaggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paddy

 

[Captain Slarty]

Sorry Dood ...

I got the plans for a genuine KJ66 in fronto me... with the ORIGINAL Calor gas container as the casing..... sooooooooo...

dont give me these negative waved dood

 

[paddymph]

Damn you Slarty, rumbled again!!!!!

 

[m@thew]

Im looking for 140bhp@wheels.

Joe what rolling loss percentage you looking at seems a little high.

At Cooper and West my car made 143bhp@wheels

 

[paddymph]

Seriously Im hoping for around the 140 mark??? I would imagine most would put up a v similar result??

Paddy

 

[2 live]

will be interesting to find out.cpt . have they got any scales there cos then with ur calcs n my 1/4 times ul be able to tell me wot bhp ive got wont ya? cudda saved meself some money there lol
jon

 

[Kelly]

Captain, I know these rollers are spot on cos thats where I had my car done in the first place so I defo have 130 at the wheels

Ken at RE has always done all my car mechanical work cos Id trust him with my life! (mebbe, lol)

Hes a sorted bloke, you can ask him anything and he will explain it to you, and show you how everything works

 

[BRUN]

maybe we could ask Ken about the Ecotec

 

[Captain Slarty]

Kelly, which rollers ??.. Ken has replaced the old set - definitely not as accurate.. with a new constant load system (Ex GRV), and this is only in the last few months..

Joe..

 

[Kelly]

Captain, my dear. I know he has new rollers He did it for me bout 4 weeks ago, only got the clio about 6 weeks ago

I have the print out if you dont believe me? LOL

Bloody ell, like and interrogation this

 

[BRUN]

Kelly could you post the print out please

id love to see it

 

[Kelly]

Im in work tho! Its in the car at home. Tell you what. I scan it in tonight and then post it, but im not sure what time I will be home.

 

[2 live]

so it is the great man from grv??
hope so
jon

 

[BRUN]

Kel i know your probably in bed now an forgot about it, but try an remember to scan it when you can pwease

 

[Captain Slarty]

Kelly, yes, I would be grateful to see it..

what mods has the car had done ??.

Joe.

and no, its not the guy from grv, just the rollers

 

[2 live]

shame...........
when i tried organising one the other year ....at grv......they had just started refurbing it n told me to go back 2 mths later........when i did they told me grv had now moved to re in bury.

 

[Liam]

wheres this RR day taking place? is anyone welcome to come and watch?

 

[Craggy]

mine was rrd at 120@ the wheels on a road i know to be very accurate.

craggy

 

[Craggy]

anyways, its the 1/4 mile slip that counts, all this torque of rolling roads needs proving on the strip, after all, we wanna know its power to brag about acceleration prowess, spo what better way.

craggy

 

[Craggy]

oh yeah, make sure the load weight of your car is spot on what they put in, thats a trick they use to not disappoint people when theres a club meet or summat, thats why theres loadsa novas driving around with 190bhp Donning only a K&N, lol

 

[Matbrown]

Craggy,

Thats right, its the 1/4 mile slip that counts!

Mat.

 

[paddymph]

Dont worry Craggy mate, Im sure Slarty will keep an eye on proceedings...

Paddy
