had the XR2 on the RR

south west scoobies had a rolling road day today so me and my friend took the fiesta down for a laugh.

wasnt expecting that to be honest, torque pretty good to

fare amount of cars where down on power on the day which made the result even better e.g blob eye sti @ 256bhp for example.

New shape STI hit 276bhp on the button.

all fun in a 800kg car :cool:

Did you spend the day giggling like a pair of school girls?

Nice figures, i always tell everyone wanting a cheap track car that there not gunna get better value for money than an XR2 with an RST lump. They are one of a handful of cars that will get all four wheels off the ground at Oulton Park too

No reason why he couldnt get a few more horses very cheap either!

What did you change to make 30hp?

The boost?

Enfield · 2 Apr 2006 at 18:50

What kind of mods has it got done to it? Has it got the original lump in it?

How many XR2's came with turbo's?

im pretty sure he has previously said its an S2 RST lump.

Ive had two previously and ran them into the ground, would happily take another one tomorrow if i could :cool:

I didn't know he had a different lump in there, thats why I asked...

edit again: didn't notice that it says TURBO on the printout lol

Simon · 2 Apr 2006 at 18:57

Well the fact it says 'fiesta turbo' on the power plot makes me think it has a turbo.

Ay, you're confusing me with Simon. I never said anything about a turbo...

You're asking if its the original lump, its an XR2 and the sheet says Fiesta Turbo - so it aint the original lump.

That confused me too, but going by the scale on the left the 151 is torque while the 183 is bhp

L0rdMike · 2 Apr 2006 at 19:01

One must be wheels and fly wheel.

Dogbreath · 2 Apr 2006 at 19:05

Notice the two plots have different scales, the first is torque and pressure (presumably manifold pressure) against RPM, the second is power and air/fuel ratio against RPM. Doesn't explain the two different powers though.

Good old Alan Jeffrey, did he manage to blow anything up during the day?

AFAIK S_HP is "shaft horsepower" which is the estimated flywheel power.

Cryfreeman · 2 Apr 2006 at 19:10

ops sorry guys, top one is atw figure with torque/psi plot and the bottom one is the guess flywheel figure plot+ afr

standard series 2 rs turbo lump with raised boost+chip

did the run on the lower boost setting as the high boost holds more boost at the higher revs, just playing it safe.

still runs on 13" wheels so kinda fun trying to get power down.

How do you do a rolling road run?

Do you stick it in 4th and then floor it?

I've always wanted to know this too, but isn't it 5th they use?

Stonedofmoo · 2 Apr 2006 at 19:39

4th on mine iirc

djbenjo · 2 Apr 2006 at 19:44

They should use the gear closest to 1:1, which for a large amount of cars is fourth, though as Steve pointed out to me last time it isn't always fourth

Ev0 · 2 Apr 2006 at 20:00

What colour is it btw?

Actually can't of been this one I saw down the sea front as I think I saw it today, but it was spinning the wheels in the first few gears

So he was either slipping the clutch to show off or it wasn't a standard lump

I'd love something like that for a bit of fun

Enfield · 2 Apr 2006 at 20:01

Silver in think, with some serious camber :cool:

Cryfreeman · 2 Apr 2006 at 20:24

its a white one

looking at them plots, if I am reading them right it shows peak torque of 210?
