OcUK Rolling Road Day 12 @ PowerStation (Tewksbury) - July 23rd 2011

I'd like to run, be nice to meet a few of the regulars for the first time, and see what power the car makes since it had the mountune kit.

Fiesta ST Mountune 185
 
Nope, gives time for another later in the year and the date is two months away.

Another later in the year? Seriously? I don't want to sound like an arse but we had problems finding numbers for 2 RRs a year a couple years ago, let alone 3! If you want to run your car loads, then fair play but I can't see ocuk people wanting to run more than once a year.

Though if the initial response is anything to go by were already nearly upto 10 runners, though as always there will be drop outs, but if we can get 20 or so runners on the day then great. :)

Usually end up with 20 'confirmed' and then 15 or so runners. :p

Anyway, I'll probably spec as it isn't a long drive, I'd run, but lets be honest, nobody (including me) wants to see a shonky 140bhp e36 run. :p

This is perfect timing for me as I'm having a td05 16g fitted + remapped sometime in June so I was going to book at powerstation for an RR run anyway. Put me down as a runner please - Impreza Turbo 2000
 
Can we sort the running order before we arrive? I need an early slot, before 10 if possible.

Yes no problem.

Was think AWD first, then FWD followed by RWD and I'll go last. :p

You can be first mate if you wish, might ensure everyone gets there on time then. :D
 
Even though I cant be 100% sure I'll be in the UK can you put me down anyway please. If Im here I'll run.

Think its a bridge too far for me. Got quite a lot of work planned in for this year for the car and otherwise - not sure I can justify the cost of travel.

Maybe if I can tag a lift up though if I sub some petrol money.

Hi there

As I can't remember has anyone ever seen a 911 run on Powerstations dyno, are they OK with rear engined cars? With the 911 are they easy to run or do they have a built in dyno mode?

Pretty sure Scubascopion was tuning a GT3 race car on the same dyno

Issue with 911's is getting enough air into the engine, but I would be astonished if your car isn't running well over the numbers quoted on this dyno as it has a history of over reading doesn't it? Not sure anyone has EVER run a 911 that isn't bang on or over the numbers in the world EVER! :D

The EVO was 389BHP at TRL which is known for accuracy, wheras Powerstation was 397BHP I think. I'd say Powerstation over-reads in the region of 2-3%.

Bring the RS4 to see if its lost any power?

personally i don think you can say it that accurately

2 % variations could easily be caused by other factors other than the dyno. Its just too small a margin to tell whats caused it.
