[marc1330]

What time does this kick off?

 

[Emma.]

First one is on at 9.30.

There's a few of us meeting at taunton Sainsburys at 8.15

 

[Ed.200]

Yup was planning on that to, it's 4p cheaper than at ashburton, and I want my shell points lol

 

[The Fatty]

See you all tomorrow morning

 

[Nyall]

I am going to say 105bhp lol

I say 106bhp, whoever is closest buys the other a pasty

 

[Dan]

I say 106bhp, whoever is closest buys the other a pasty

I organised this RR meet and have been asked is there anything they can help me with on the day, are you sure you want to bet on the outcome of your dyno reading lol

 

[Nyall]

Dude that's cheating! I hope you choke on your pasty! :rasp:

 

[Alexiooo]

Shame I can't come. Have work today...

Would be a cool idea if everyone posts their figures and what mods have been done in here. Be interesting to see the differences!

 

[Shifty.]

Cheers for organising that Dan, 'twas a good day, and ta for the Easter egg!!

So, with a KTec induction kit, remap and exhaust system I made 194hp engine power.

Chuffed!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Tbh unless yours has cams you don't know about I don't personally quite believe the figure but bottom line is it was the highest on the day of similar spec cars so definitely a good example

 

[Robert172sport]

Mine made a poor 156hp but its a standard 172 with no engine or exhaust mods. Think I need to get the cam-belt done properly.

 

[Shifty.]

Yeah chip I think we need to look into wether it has been cam'd.

 

[Dan]

Yep and I have to hand it to the cars with the Ktec induction kit as they made about 6hp more than the ones without!

 

[marc1330]

Yep cheers for organising Dan, maybe a good idea to start a thread/or on this one with mods, power, torque, rpm to see how everyone faired.
What y'reckon

 

[Nyall]

Dan still owes me a pasty. Sore loser

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah chip I think we need to look into wether it has been cam'd.

Peak power at 7300 certainly makes it look that way.

I reckon the rollers were over reading about 8 or so bhp personally versus the ones I normally use but its pointless trying to compare one set to another really.

Very impressed how professionally they were, checking everyone's oil first etc and taking lots of care with the cars.


Would happily go back there again.

Timing out I reckon. Get danlp6 to do it.

 

[Robert172sport]

Timing out I reckon. Get danlp6 to do it.

Yeah will do just have to save up then that will be the first thing I will be doing

 

[McGherkin]

I noticed on Aaron's graph, seeing as he's just posted it on FB, that his corrected power is 185 but the engine power is 179, which doesn't sound too far off considering he's got a RStuner and an exhaust. Does that sound like a better figure?

 

[The Fatty]

Thanks Dan for making this happen Really good day today, if you weren't there you missed out! I will be posting the videos I took a bit later and also my graph from this one. I made 179.8 btw with no real mods (98Ron map & the backbox has been changed). 2 months or so ago I got 180.2 on a different set of rollers, so that's pretty close, which should indicated that both sets of rollers are either both off by the same amount of they are both very close to being accurate. Thanks Danlp6 for stopping on the way into Exeter, I would have got completely lost if you didn't!! lol.

 

[Chip-mk1]

My graph:



torque down massively just cause he couldn't find traction in the midrange where it makes peak torque so was just going half throttle for a while as it started to spin. Pleased to crack the 300 bhp barrier though which I was quietly hoping it would after I turned the boost up just a tiny bit since the last rolling road session.

Probe probably got a bit hot and made it correct when it shouldn't really have. Wouldn't worry about the finer details too much though, you can analyse results forever. Lol.

 

[samoose]

I'm actually more impressed at the figures pete's completely standard 200 made considering first run was 206 and the second was 203!

Not so impressed with my 76.3bhp dci100 though

 

[Chip-mk1]

As per my previous comment I reckon the rollers were reading a good 8 or more bhp too high compared to the ones I use, But either it was still an epic result, 20bhp more than most 172 were getting on the same day on the same rollers.

Was that the corrected or uncorrected figure by the way, I didn't see his run.

 

[MancmanRS200]

Fantastic day first time I've done a rolling road and I was mighty impressed, no real mods on mine at all so I was impressed with the results 201bhp, I know there will be a slight variance on the rollers. I was also impressed with some of the mod,s people have done.
Well done Dan for the organising.

 

[Dan@SJM]

The figures seemed really inconsistent. As both mine and Emma's was below what we've had them at. Yet others were massively high! Still a good day and the had water afterwards was a good social occasion.

Thanks Dan for making this happen Really good day today, if you weren't there you missed out! I will be posting the videos I took a bit later and also my graph from this one.

No worries mate, I'd seen you'd got caught a few cars back then got stuck again lucky one of us knows how a convoy works lol

 

[The Fatty]

took very few pics today and all of which were not of a high standard at all, probably down to the fact that it was raining too much for my camera to be outside! But here's what I got:

My shot of the day (love where the RS badge is located on these):

(Should of moved my car back for this shot!)

vids & graph to come later today...

 

[Emma.]

Mine was 5bhp under my previous RR on the adjusted figure. 3bhp on the max figure.

Not really a huge amount of difference in the grand scheme of things.

Was a good day out which is the main thing. Thanks Dan for sorting it

Yeah both runs came out at 76bhp 91lb ft

 

[Cornish_172]

I only got 159bhp I only serviced it 5 months ago and I run it on vpower but its got no engine mods except the cat back powerflow

 

[The Fatty]

OK here's something interesting... Have just compared my RR readout I did a few months ago on the OEM map against the one done today on the 98RON map, and they are almost identical! I don't feel the 5k kick much anymore, but evidently from the graph, its still there! I was expecting my lower rev range to have been raise up a bit more to smooth out the entire rev range. Interstingly my engine power figure is both on 180.X between the 2 different rolling roads.

Overlaid:

Timing could be out?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Certainly sounds like it. Aaron's was a similar figure before I corrected the timing and it ran 185 today iirc!

 

[Cornish_172]

Is it expansive to do the timing?

 

[The Fatty]

 

[Dan@SJM]

Depends who you take it to...

 

[Chip-mk1]

That's interesting fatty. Without any doubt you can really feel the difference on the road before and after the rs tuner even though it hardly shows at all there.

 

[The Fatty]

@foster: Take it to Dan in the SW, he knows what he is doing. that's where mine will be going at its next interval.

 

[The Fatty]

That's interesting fatty. Without any doubt you can really feel the difference on the road before and after the rs tuner even though it hardly shows at all there.

yeah, the 5K kick isn't apparent at all now when driving. The feeling of me having more power low down must be completely placebo! Its hardly the gains promised on the fastchip website!
