It's where they lifted off at the end of the run.
yours is a 182 thought not a 172, so would expect 10hp more anyway just from the 4-2-1 manifold. 160bhp for a 172 with no mods is not un-common.
Would you?
Do they have 10bhp more though, realistically? Nope!
they are more powerful yes. Like I said, the 4-2-1 manifold helps a lot.
Same speed or same power.
yes they will seem similar, 10hp isn't going to be that noticeable. Point stands though, 182's are more powerful than 172's, so its unfair to compare the OPs 172 to your 182 which also probably has a decat etc. 160 is on the low side (as I said before), but its not un-common for the 172s to be that low. its only 8hp off your mates 172.
Even that was underpowered compared to others on the day though!
clio 172
I've been to two rolliing road events, at the same dyno my car pulled 169.something bhp and a few weeks 165bhp! first pull was with just an induction kit and 2nd time round was with induction kit and scorpion cat back , End of day take them with a pinch of salt. I'd only worry if it pulled 140-150 bhp lol if it still feels fast it's okay! ;D then again im used to the power on mine now so now it feels slow haha
I agree with above ! The engines vary depends on how they have been driven over there life , mods , service history etc!
160 isn't the greatest power made but it happens ! If your really fussed get it dyno'd else where see there figures one dyno may be different to the other ! I know a friend who ran 472bhp on one and 507bhp on another the same week :S (sierra cosworth -T4 , 8 greens)
When was your last good service , oil , air , plugs , fuel filter etc? That helps !
But remember mate , it's just a number and I don't know why people get so bothered chasing numbers , if it pulls well and you enjoy it forget it ! It's nice to know what power it is but it's not the be all and end all , more for people who walk in the pub 'like yeah what up I got a big BHP' lol

172
that'l be the day my 172 made just .7bhp less than yours lol, does seem low but guess it just not a strong one
172
really?
gives better mid-range torque over the 172 manifold but no way does it give 10hp, also as you later mentioned they're quicker that is due to the mid-range torque where the 172's don't have as much puff
I am happy with it was on there for a power run to sort it out when I took it in to him the first run it was hitting 100bhp!! haha but he sorted it to 160 was down to a plug lol there is still a miss there just now need to find the problem
was ment to have had a full service belt dephaser everything 9k miles ago full service history too and its just hit 71k
If there's still a slight miss could account for the slightly low ish power but like mentioned they do make that power normally , anywhere between 160-170 for a 172 and 170-180 for a 182 IMO
Fiesta ST Stage 3
what mods has it got on it though? Very much doubt a standard 172 will pull 179.3 on accurate rollers.
172
see comment 21, people regard them as being bang on, btw it was with milltek cat back and a panel filter with around 120k and in need of a service
