As title...It says in his sig 190bhp and 300 torque and i just wonderd if its as quick as a ST220 now ?

Cheers ben

 

I will let you know when i find one to race

Wouldnt of thought so tbh though.......as the 220 is 220BHP and mine is about 190bhp

 

Yea i thought that... But everyone i've spoke to about this stuff they always say "BHP Sells cars Torque moves them" And you've got more torque Hope you win

 

Good point......will be interesting

 

Sure will

 

How much torque is in the 220 then?

 

Not sure mate, I will check on fords website

 

ST220 Is
285 Nm at 4900 min-1 (rpm)

And yours (Standard is)

360 Nm at 1800 min-1 (rpm)

you have more as standard so chipped

 

I think it is about 500nm chipped

 

I know what i am looking for on the M40 tomorrow

 

As tiff knows I am looking a purchasing one, but I think the 220 will take it.

reason why does a 250 torque of a golf do 0-60 in 8 sec. A derv torque band is very small it sort of spiks. so if you could change gear on the spike every gear mabie.
I have driven a 220 and they are proper quick for such a large car. but I want a derv 50 mpg and they feel v quick due to sharp torque spike.

 

That will be a good race then.

 

With the Blue fin it changes the power band a fair bit

Standard it pulls hardish from 1850-3250--Small range

Chipped it pulls VERY hard from 1500-4500--BIG range

 

300 talk??

 

Ey?

 

is it that good tiff

I need you to take me for a drive

 

Johnny

Honestly mate, you will be suprised

 

how much was the Bluefin setup ?


they are great cars I had a 220 on test for a week they are so nice. drive ride, comfort. so I asume the Derv is the same?

 

and they have a fooken massive boot, the push chair just dropped in

 

Tiff, race you in my TDi spaz chariot?

 

i think u will fid the diesel will have the 220.......300lbt thats alot of torque there so many peopl will underestermate it ....ive got a rover 420sdi and that pulls like a train might get that superchippedand it will have 145bhp and 250lbt torque

 

torque is power without the rpm. Torque is instantaneous acceleration by definition. I respect modern diesels a lot, but simply hate the power delivery. If a car has more power, it will be faster in absoloute terms, no question. A TD makes it's big torque for around 100rpm. You could do the same by feeding 40psi through an rst at 3000rpm for a couple of seconds. As long as my car can make 30mpg, i don't care about the economy. Diesels are just not a good look...

 

Tiff, you had it on the rollers or you guessing mate?

How did the Blue-fin affect ya black smoke on boost? On my old 130 TDCi it made it twice as bad

 

Lee

Not had it on the rollers yet but on the ST Owners site every ST TDCi that has been Blue-Fin'd gets btween 190-200bhp , all with over 300ftlb

Will be on the rollers soon

 

awesome

does it feel much different?

 

Oh yes.....fucking loads different....

 

lovely mate

In 6 months time, hopefully my choice will be a ST TDCi estate, or a BMW 530d Sport estate.....


think it'll be the Ford

 

Not answering my challenge tiff, scared il whoop ya?

 

Andy

BRING IT ON

 

Kinda off topic a bit but a Skodia Fabia Vrs tdi chipped to 165bhp lapped Donington Park at the Tuner GP 2 secs faster than a tuned Volvo V70 with approx 330bhp, and it beat a chipped BMW 530d from West Racing in the 0-60 sprints etc...

 

What size engine are in them Fabias?

 

1.9tdi - 130bhp VW standard engine.

 

Same engine as in the golf

 

People,

Dont confuse how Diesels are compared to a petrol engine that actually revs!

 

Mark- dont race the one in cov with the hidden lights..


just a little but of advice

Jake

 

Classic

 

 

Not at 80 on the cov road at 1 in the morning you dont.

The only give away is the gay blue and red flashin "neons" that come on

 

Shings thought it was me trying to race him

3 points anyone

 

wonded

saying that i come down the a444 from nuneaton to cov every day and garantee one of them are there

best one was i watched the silver one lead another st into a race down there came past me about a ton then the lights went on lol



also black accord type r aswell watch for that cus if you get pulled with the blonde bird driving then good luck

i think shes a relation to judge dread

she will go through your car with a comb to find a problem lol
