Come on explain, I've never been to a rolling road before so I am bound to ask stupid questions. So do you know the answer? :)

are you still running yours in?

lowes clio didnt have a rev limiter and they got rather over zealous, nothing borked thank god, and that was at a different place, but bear in mind you max torque and bhp might well be at the top end of your rev range.

im sure if you tell them not go over a limit they will stick to it

yeah, they keep their foot planted till the power tails off, iirc, wills s2k got to 9250 rpm.. but thats kinda designed for revs ;)

I was reading this today on the cooper s

We have noticed without exception due to the extreme heat induced on so called "power runs" on rolling roads, Cooper S owners are over heating the coat applied to the rotors within their earlier type Eaton supercharger unit. This causes delaminating and flaking away of the Eaton rotor coating, a loss of efficiency within the supercharger (loss of seal) therefore reducing boost pressure and airflow! This will cause a loss in power, but more importantly the delaminated coating has nowhere to go other than into your intercooler (further restricting air flow!) or even worse with smaller parts straight through into your engine!

BBR do not recommend these rolling road "power runs" on forced induction engines (see Brodie Report), but we would like to warn and prevent our customers, and all other Cooper S owners from unnecessary damage to their supercharger units and potential long term damage to their engines! "You have been warned."

DOH!

I think we should gang up as Conanius is robbing our precious horsepowers making us weight with the ever increasing temperatures. However on the other hand the engine will be cooler due to having plenty of cool down time and as such may help............ ;)

mine needs to be at 90c+ to lessen det problems, I think ill lose about 0.2 bar for the temp so if I make 300+ I'll be a hppy chappy, you will easily win the top BHP/torque :D

I just want to see the under bonnet bit, might even bring my spanners and socket set along :p

Funnily enough I need tools as I haven't got a bonnet strut - I have to take the strut out of the boot and screw in the bolts by hand - the intercooler pipes get in the way of where it used to fold down into!! :o

Well its got 3000 miles on the clock so engine is run in and they supposedly product maximum power when passing 4000 miles, so its getting there.

I am unsure if there is a limiter, if there is its gotta be somewhere between 6200-6500. I've never taken the car past 6100ish. Maximum torque I believe on these motors is around 4000rpm with maximum power between 5800-6200rpm. Think I will just tell them to keep revs sub 6300. :)

there is a 3.0 diesel beemer and another v8 that might stand a chance at top torque....

as for temperatures, if it gets insane ill shuffle the order around, dont worry :)

its a very nervous time when your car is up, I look away, the noise will be ridiculous :D

the last person to tell powerstation not to rev beyond a point was lowe, he said he'd come off the power when the revs dropped, and not at 5k like lowe asked... over 1000 rpm later the graph was still climbing....

Think of it this way, it wont rev that high if its not designed to do so... and well before then, id imagine the power will tail off, and the foot will come off the gas

Hi m8

We will see as I am missing out on a lot of BHP/Torque by not getting the LT headers, X-pipe and racing CATs fitted. They are worth upto a proven 25RWHP, so thats like close to 40BHP.

As it stands a stock Mustang is 300BHP & 320lb-ft torque! (260-270ish at the wheels)

Mine has Saleen Underdrive Pulleys, CAI, Charge Motion Plates and custom tune which I've uploaded so will be interested to see the results. :)
Then I can get my LT headers and bits fitted later and see how the results improve on the next RR, though I may have added even more toys. :D

how do you think I feel, im STILL searching for which fuse I need to take out if it wont do the run !

In the fiesta I "think" it was number 7 or 11.

I will ask Will in the morning, he may be able to remember. (I think they have the same fusebox (puma and Fiesta))

well up until an hour ago I totally screwed my map, I was in safe mode and boosting at 0.5 bar, god alone knows why i reset my ecu but I put in new 7's plugs as I wasnt sure when the 6's in my block were last changed, also I plan to get an new MAF at powerstation tomorrow.

it took me an hour of driving with zero turbo then overboosting to silly speeds to break down the safety barriers the ECU imposes, I would have been gutted running it at 0.5 bar :S

as it is the iginition is screwed but its back up to 1.4 bar and im hoping the drive will fix the ignition retardation, as I said 300+ and im a seriously happy chappy especially after I thought the car was dead three days ago :D

indeed, I think my engine is his, bored out, with Variable Cam timing.... is he coming along?
