I'm just processing my pics now, 5 minutes

Dorje · 2 May 2009 at 21:23

All of powerstations wheel figures are low, can't remember the reason. But the figure is pretty much there to be ignored.

For example Moeks ST250 made 241 at fly, and 156 at wheels. That's front engined and FWD, should be minimal loss but loss of 85bhp going by their figures.

At the wheel is NOT correct at the wheel BHP because of the use of two contact points on the rollers, and the rollers squashing the tyres to grip them.

Skeeter · 2 May 2009 at 21:24

Manufactueres will say a car 'produces' X BHP, not how much of that is actually put on the road.

Howard · 2 May 2009 at 21:29

Hah, yer. Ninja snap shot.

LOL at everyone trying to keep the 'Stang down

What mods has Moeks done to his ST?

I'm gonna have to turn up to one of these

Ohh and on the Pug pic, is Fox making sneaky love to his car?

None. Ford seem to like making the ST220 more than 220 BHP, has happened with all the ones we've put on the rollers.

Skeeter · 2 May 2009 at 21:51

Isnt it 220 PS as oppised to BHP?... but either way, they all seem to have 230bhp+

At the wheels is different from at the flywheel..

Ok- Not criticising your car I was just curious. Now I understand that the manufacturers use power at the flywheel as their measure......didn't know that before. In that case it looks like both of the fives did well. Was the 1.8 a mk2.5 or has it been modded?

Howard · 2 May 2009 at 21:57

S reg = mk2, it had just been modded with rimz and a front splitter

Both were stock engine/exhaust-wise.

Howard · 2 May 2009 at 21:58

Dorje's doesn't have a stock exhaust, or at least it didn't sound it like did. That's if I'm not getting confused with DrDee's one
