If your not coming tomorrow or want to come, let me know now so I add you to the list! Anyone rude enough to just not turn up when they said they were coming shall get the bann hammer for lack of manners.

 

[Gibbo]

Is it too late to be added to the running list? Please don't take this as a "I want to run" I am just asking if it is a possibility still .
I have never dyno'ed a car before and have never been to a car event.
The car is a 2.0 TDCI Focus with a remap.

I will just show up at the Powerstation place at 9ish?

Yes people can still decide to run, even on the day.

 

[Gibbo]

I'll take Shoes place running if that's OK, running without a cat now and will see some flames!

Neil.

NP mate

 

[Gibbo]

Good day..
That remap doesn't do a lot does it Gibbo. I guess Porsche already know how to squeeze every last ounce out of it.

What remap.
As suspected all gains if any were after 5500rpm and single digit, so not worth it.

369BHP I'm happy with and it puts them down very well on the road.

 

[Gibbo]

Good day out, we were reasonably lucky with the weather I think.
Nice to meet some new faces and the regulars

Neil.

Weather was good and our little play was great fun, 911 handles so well on the road even in the wet.

Mikes and Kosta cars had brutal power delivery.

Why is there mention of boobs? I see no boobs?

Did you not see the naked girl modelling?

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo/Nath have they sent over the PDF graphs?

I shall post them up tomorrow

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

Graphs:-

 

[Gibbo]

I had no idea the naturally aspirated V8 Jag XF had that much power to be honest

Tomo has the new 5.0l model.

Not sure if this is the same engine as used in the new Mustang or not or if there is any similarities at all, maybe someone can confirm but that 5.0 V8 makes 415BHP ish and some are reporting them seeing 440BHP on the dyno, so more powerful seems to be getting extracted from these newer V8's out the factory.

About time though, the Americans have normally being very lazy, though I suspect Jaguar don't share anything with Ford any more, so it is probably completely different engines.

 

[Gibbo]

It's to do with the friction generated by the two rollers (that the wheels sit between) on the dyno. Ergo on this dyno, the wheel figure isn't nearly as accurate as others, where on others the flywheel figure may not be quite as accurate as a trade off.


Or something.

+1

I want to know what my engine power is as accurately as possible and Powerstations dyno is the best for this.

I am not interested in power at the wheels to be frank.
