Matched inlets? And mapping? Help

[lacey_89]

I was getting my timing checked yesterday too find out that it dint have matched inlets was told it did when I bought it. What are the gains from this? And how would I know if my car has been mapped because we are having doubts about that too? The last time it was rolling roaded it made 189.6bhp?

a 172 made 189.6bhp? it must of had something done to it. standard you would be lucky to make 172bhp

You're Laines mate I'm guessing? Where was the rolling road figure from? thats optomistic to say the least

What did the car rev to? Probably the easiest way to tell if its had a map as the limiter might have been raised.

189.6 is MEGA optimistic lol.

Well it has 182 manifold ktec stealth and panel filter?

I'll have too dig the dyno print out when I get home.
It revs round to about 7200 rpm

That means nothing I'm afraid.

Never said it did. My friend laines made 186bhp standard.

Laines is genuinely a FREAK. Don't benchmark on his car, it's an unfair comparison

i was just asking for advice but dont look like im getting no where no here!!

you are getting advice, but there's some background info needed first, If you have mods added then go on a realistic dyno, you'll think you've lot power. Personally I think matched inlets are worthwhile, but more for midrange and response than peak bhp figures.
