awesome power

 

just watched the vid...

Not a loaded run then?

 

im not even sure what a loaded run is ? i'll try and get him on here to explain

 

that was just an acceleration run...

I.E the car was not held at each rev point and the power recorded.

IMO for the power to be taken as accurate the revs need to held constant with the roller speed for a few seconds to eliminate wheels spin and let the figure stabilise.

 

ah right, never actully seen that done before at certian rev points

 

Quick, but not usable thru 2 front wheels

Like it tho

 

its perfectly useable, honest

 

Get some pics up

 

i have never seen a power done as
"rapidcossie" states loaded!

every rolling road i have been to has done accelerations runs and record the power that way the only time i have seen the operator hold the car at certain rpm is when mapping a car!

 

Not every RR does accell runs..

 

i have to say out of the 5-6 places ive been to over the years, ive only ever had a run like that in the video done. will ask next time im down there about it

 

Ask how they can elimate wheels spin on accel runs?

If it wheel spins the power will be way higher than what it should be.

 

Looks cool as fuck!

 

yeah i know, mates ibiza did that and got 20bhp or so extra.

ive got about 7 runs in total on the car from that day all over 420bhp, judging from the graph, there is no wheel spin to make 442bhp as its quite smooth

 

must be a beast mate

 

its alright yeah, good fun to drive on the road as its quite a light car, all stripped out etc

 

Yep graph is smooth fair doos but its still a corsa

only kiddin

 

Looks fun ... will it be on track seeing how it goes round corners.. or strictly a straight line car ?

Nick

 

bit of both, it actualy handles fairly well considering. hopefully get some track anbd strip action in this year coming.

and yes i know it is a corsa, it doesnt take away from the fact i would prefer a ford. escort cossie one day i hope

 

pocket rocket

 

looks mint dude! a mate of mine is building a corsa turbo for 500bhp + a little bit of gas, aiming for 750bhp per ton!

what sorta times you expecting with that down the 1/4 mile?

 

ran a 12.3 today at 122-125mph, room for improvement in my launches etc

 

Any engine pics? or car pics??

 

'kin hell thats off the box
