How much power do you guy's reckon I'm pushing. :confused:

 

De-cat

Mongoose quad 3" 'zorst

Apexi induction kit

 

Cheers

If you are lucky 300bhp, if not maybe aboout 280.

300 ??

 

steve

I would have said around the 330 mark myself. Your's is a uk which is 300 standard, or there abouts anyway.

hi warrior

 

in my opinion

removing cats do very little to increase power they just make turbos spool up quicker(feels faster)unless they were blocked(which point you've lost power from standard)

an exhaust increases power mostly at the top end to the tune of about 8bhp realisticly

and an air air filter maybe 5-8bhp

 

so power should be around 250-275@rear wheels

it also depends on if it's a uk man/auto or a jap man/auto

 

a stock 300tt uk man on rollers gives around 240 bhp@rear wheels

 

why don't you take it to a rolling road and ask them to do a power run only costs 10-20quid and then you know

Same mods (minus decat) (hermans car)

 

230 at rear wheels 276 @ crank

 

275 is not realistic with those mods from my experience at rolling roads.

hi again

 

when we used to work on the rolling road we found this to work 10 percent +10

and a lot of other rollers use this rule aswell

i.e 230 x 10 percent = 23+10=33+230=266 thats a lame 300tt

where as this equation is not anywhere near perfect we used to find it gave pretty good results

 

the only problems are on the rollers alot of things alter the results

but i'm probably teaching you to suck eggs so i'll shut it :x:

Zed drivetrain loss on a manual is estimated at 20% according to rolling road operators.

 

its all about wheel figures anyway :)

hi

 

when i first took mine to rollers it had 205bhp@rear wheels saftey boost 5 psi

then sorted coolant switch then it went to 239bhp@rw(272bhp@crank)

or286bhp@crank

then fitted a scorpion system got 242bhp@rw(276bhp@crank or 290bhp@crank)

now running 11psi (stock chip)and it's 269bhp@rw(305bhp@crank or322bhp@crank)

for mods done i think 305bhp sounds more realistic than 322bhp

i think i'll use your way of working it out in the pub :duffer: and my way on the track :cry:

but mine was 280bhp stock

if warrior has a 300bhp jap model he should be 20bhp up on my figures

Seems way too high TBH.

12% + 10bhp for RWD is supposed to be a good estimation, but even that's rubbish as the losses vary through the range.

You need to measure coast down losses to get it right.

Think I've still got a chart from my old car showing CDL, I'll try and dig it out.

Makes me laugh, everyone is possessed with chasing higher BHP figures, when in truth there is much you can do to make the car's power more available.

 

A lower bhp but faster turbo spool is going to make a faster car on the road everytime. It's only track users who can keep revs up high that really benefit from big tubs and huge bhp.

 

My car's mods are listed below and for the record I estimate it has at least 2000 bhp :xxx:

Lol, you're absolutely right. TBH, I keep mine between 4-7 all the time when I'm driving hard, but with big blowers you still get lag between shifts or when you put the gas back on when you've lifted.

It's OK if you want a straight line dragster, but for typical hard A road driving, you need the tractability you can't have with big tubs.

Wasn't bothered about rwhp just flywheel as the manufactures quote. Didn't think it would spark this much controversy. It's a UK manual car.

Ahhh you still got stock internals then? ;)
