hi lads just got my s2 back from my local garage its been on rolling road and he said he set it up i got print out and it woz 132 bhp it got a k@n on it and full stainless exhaust should it be more than that just dond seem to have any balls in it this is my first rs

 

if on standard boost then i wouldnt expect much more

 

you can not take what the rolling road says to be 100% accurate, they never are!

so long as all the rr prep was done right for monitoring and the engine is running bob on then its a good health check and shows the engine is ok.

 

If standard boost thats about right mate,in an ideal world it would be nice be little more but all depends on wear on engine as these car are old plus as said no 2 rolling roads are the same.Get boost turned up to 14 psi with chip, 31 actuator and will be 160bhp+ and will feel lot quicker.They are slow as standard.

 

That's not too bad really, mine made 127 @ pts when it was standard bar a bleed valve

I got 155 @ powers with a -31 and mongoose, with the boost upped to 10psi, then I got hooked on more power

 

Do you want this chipped ecu mate???

 

You can run 10 psi on std ecu, at 11 you will hit boost cut. should be about 150bhp at that. What did he "set up" exactly?

 

132bhp is standard book figure when the car was new... So for it to have lost nothing, maybe a little which is replaced by the air filter and exhaust isn't too bad at all i wouldnt have thought! Shows everything must be in fairly good order?

 

Had mine set up a week b4 classic ford its standard apart from exhaust n filter and she made 163 bhp goes very well for standard

 

me thinks that rolling road is lying a little

 

I agree, on a stock engine and turbo the VE is way too poor to make that power a 7psi.

 

i forgot to ask him what psi he had set it at but it certainly isnt 7, its bleed valved up like, and boosts its cok off!

 

So youre saying his RR is telling lies? The bloke has no reason to lie to me, i said to him set up the car and get as much power as poss within reason, so i can leather the shit out of it.

 

i'm not saying he was liying just that rolling roads aren't very accurate. brilliant for setting up and doing comparisons to see improvements but won't give you the exact bhp figure.

 

We thought you ment it was a standard engine running standard 7psi boost mate, as this is what the OP is running... Hence the comments! lol

 

No pal the rollers aint lying

Was a thread about these rollers on how accurate they are

Its called mikeanicks in congleton

 

thats a funny shout that mate lol

 

he is a funny guy!!!

 

i've heard good things about them. got a link to the thread?

don't take my comment in a bad way or personally mate theres always debate when it comes to rollers and it might be accurate for one car but not another. going off personal experiance rollers can be way off in some cases but so long as they are consistent one run to the next will be good for seeing improvements and setting up.

 

Standard RS Turbo = Slow car.

Welcome to reality

 

lol...............
