Rolling Road When Engine Is Cold

[reckersno1]

hey, how much of a difference in bhp would it make to rolling road my 182 when its cold and only revs to just over 6 to when its warm and revs fully?? cheers:S

Lots as theres no VVT engagement either until the coolant temp hits >85c.

ah rite i fought i would of, my 182 was 168.8 on the rolling road which i was dissapointed with and i looked at the temp on the dash straight after it cam off and it was only a quater of the way up., any idea wat it would have been if it was warm?? cheers

which rollers? That's about right for a 182 on truly genuine rollers. Only way to tell would be compare it to another healthy 182 on the same rollers

dyno's , but ive drove my car cold n its a lot slower than wat it is wen its warm? n ive also been in other 182s n they havent felt as fast as mine??

depends how much you trust the standard gauge TBH. Was the car not driven to the rolling road before the run?

 

[reckersno1]

not for ages, around 3-4 hours, and it was the lst car of the day so he didnt reli care

Wouldn't have run my car without warming it up properly first, doesn't inspire confidence that he didn't care , The dyno I visit most regularly (Surrey Rolling Road) you know about 15 minutes before your runs so you can drive the car about or even just let it idle for a bit.
