Got me a tweaked RS Tuning remap (before/after dyno results included)

[psycho]

Here are my results:

We ran a baseline (green), then the RS Tuning map (purple) and then the Tweeked RS Tuning map (red). The actual power figures are reading atleast 5-6kw lower then what they did last time I was there but the gains are clear. I think that dyno place is dodgy as they dont do any temperature compensation or even pump up the tyres. They just stick it on and run it. Anyway, there is a 4kw gain at the top end and as much as a 6-7kw gain in the midrange. There was also a nice gain in torque measuring up to about 7% in the midrange. The torque was increased by a massive 12.5% at around 3500rpm.

Here is a comparison between the RS Tuning map and the Tweaked RS Tuning map by the our local remapper Hannson. (Hannsons is the more powerfull of the two):

If he can fix the odd power/torque hole at 3200-3300 rpm then his map is an outright winner!

Sorry for being thick mate, but what is the translation from KW to BHP?

Cheers

Kw X 1.341 = BHP, therefore the 7Kw power increase accuates to 9.387 BHP

Although this means that the max of 94.9Kw only accuates to 127.2 Bhp. But i guess that is at the wheels so that is probs about right i guess

94.9 KW = 128bhp :S (must be at the wheels?)

Thats down on standard is it not ??

Yeah i would hpe that reading is at the wheels i would assume it is

 

[Andyman]

Must be.

Rollers seem a bit out but its still not too far off the cars factory output?

Take it the car is bog standard apart from the map??

Yeah its at the wheels. The vast majority of dyno's in aus show at wheel power only. This particular dyno also reads very very low power wise. It should probably be reading atleast 98-100kw for a stock 182 given other peoples results at other dynos in Aus and then add my gain onto that. Meh, we all know that the actual power figures on dynos are rubbish.

BUT, that is a genuine 5.4-9.4 bhp gain at the wheels which will equate to a much larger gain at the flywheel. Something like ~7-12hp at the fly.

Mods are just a 85mm CAI and an Apollo enclosed filter.

Bump.

So are these the sort of gains that should be expected? Should there have been a bigger boost in torque since its a 182? What do you guys think?

I think you ca'nt complain really.My wheel figure with GroupN was 135.6 bhp and drag power? was 40.6bhp add together and get 179.5 which is 182.0 ps. That was up 5ps from standard and got torque up to 157.5 lbf ft No body mentioned tyre pressures to me. I do'nt think it's an exact science just a good indicator. You can also compare readings from similar cars the operator has done.

Bin that apollo, wont do you any favours, very small intake.......... Its a generic filter.
