I had a read of this months performance french car earlier, and noticed that the 182 they used on the rollers was only producing 153.8bhp at the flywheel before the remap. For some reason I thought a 182 would produce 182 at the flywheel, but now ive seen other rr results and see that the majority make around 150ish. Is this right or have I got it wrong somehow?

True bhp figures?

Wouldn't say as low as 150 at the fly, but yes it's normal that they make below 180
Dont they normally make circa 140-150 at the wheels? IIRC normal fly is around 175bhp.
TBH it all means the sum total of squat. Drive it well around a track, and people might be shocked when you tell them it only has '180'. Don't get too hooked up on the figures. Rinse it around a track and realise that the figures don't mean s**t as long you're having fun

the performance output of the f4r engine varies alot. i've had two 172's now and when standard one made 156bhp and the other 164bhp
different rr's also give different readings, at the wheels figures is what matters

He says in conclusion... " I put 60,000 miles on a 172 cup and I could trash it and the next day get 40mpg on the motorway"
I thought he got you to do all his motorway driving Fred?

Far too many variables on getting a true BHP figure.
From what ive seen they are pretty consistent across the range, with so many people changing exhausts/remaps/camshafts and so on its difficult to gauge as and when engines loosten up etc

ive got a reading for my 182 of 195bhp. its had full exhaust system and decat, panel filer and a remap. seems a little high to me but got the graph at home.

My 156ATW was estimated as 191 to the flywheel so 195 for you is feasible.
I have the matched manifold but you have exhaust and decat so I would expect your power to be a bit higher than mine.

my standard 172 made 172.9bhp at the fly
yeah this is the case. My 197 made 189.9 standard. BHP fig is 194.
We had a rolling road day a few months back, and a majority of the 172 and 182 had mods of sorts, even if its was just a panel filter, and they were making anywhere between 154 and 186.
Nah 130's to 140's i think?
Are you sure you don't mean at the wheels?
I would like to officially inform you that i mean at the wheels, yes indeed Roy.
Please can i also thank you for your alertness?

Is that a standard car mate? That's around 192 to 195 on the flywheel depending on the dyno used and environmental conditions.
