I had my series 2 chipped and set-up @ PTS in luton, the power run after the set-up came back with 209bhp @ 4800rpm

The mods are as follows:

PTS 185 chip
Stage one turbo (boggo intercooler)
Pipercross induction kit
Magnex exhaust
Boost set @ 15psi

At the time i thought nothing of it, other than good power, since then i've had a ribbing off my mates saying that's impossible with these mods, and espec with such low boost.

Any thoughts? Or could that be correct?

 

i would thought thats to much really, so much for the 185 chip!, but u never know nowadays,

i would of said about a good 185bhp really

 

go back and get a print out, then u can show it to em and say "ave it u slags"

 

 

i used to use pts years ago when they was in st albans, they USED to employ good mechanics, i had my h reg tuned up to 210 bhp there .but i went to the new luton dept, and i must say things have got alot worse , they sell great products there , but i have since changed tuners , i just dont trust pts anymore

 

209bhp on std intercooler

 

Would be lucky to see any more than 180bhp on that spec

 

are you sure its not 209lb/ft and not bhp

 

There is always much debate over RR figures.

What you have power wise is specific to your car on a certain rolling road on a given day.

To compair to another car run up on another set of rollers on a different day isnt even worth getting into.

Enjoy your car, and see how it compairs in performance to other equaly specd cars.

**Edited to add!

I recall when buying my S2 with the same mods (except a goose exhaust) the power figues from PTS were 168bhp on 16psi with a Stage 1 Turbo.

Realisticaly Id have thought your car would be producing somewhere in the regions of that sort of power.

As above though , If you have what you have on paper then who's to argue with it!

 

As long as you are happy with how it goes then

 

I read a big story about pts. How they bolloxed someones motor. He had to keep taking it back to get it done properly. Not sure what tuners/depot it was.

 

Defo 209bhp!

My mate reckons PTS's rollers are way out, they did a good job with the car though, and i'm happy with it, but i'd be dubious of having it power run there again.

 

With them mods I would be expecting 170-180 bhp!!! Now I have heard of RR reading 10% out, so at the most I would be thinking thats about 190 maybe, and I wouldn't think that was to un realistic

 

has it got a zetec bottom end?

 

Not too sure on that, don't think so, even if it did, wouldn't the boost still need to be higher for that sort of output?

I have got a receipt for an engine rebuild 24k ago, but it doesn't mention any major change in engine spec.

Any easy way of telling if it is a zetec botom end?

 

dip sticks at the front

 

Ah, it's not a zetec then!

 

It's their group A Race tuned rolling road dontchaknow!

 

My mate Dave skimmed 50 thou off the head of his Fizzy (Yamaha FSIE/ask
your dad) and they told him it was too powerful (due to wheel spin)
for their rollers........................................... ..

 

Talking of Race tuned, my AP50 used to do 45 in 3rd down Stag Hill
after I bought a tuned speed from them.

 

Thats tuned SPEEDO obviously

 

Oh well better get off and do some work before the Boss gets in.....

Hangon I AM THE BOSS HURRRRRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

GUYS GUYS I shall say ziss only Wurnce.
All RR's Have some wild and wacky ways of calculating your CRANKSHAFT power/most of them bear VERY LITTLE RESEMLANCE TO REALITY!

The ONLY way to do it (unless someone has managed to rewrite the laws of physics recently) is to take the WHEEL HORSE POWER
(remember thats what their rollers acurate or not are measuring) and DEVIDE by .85

Therefore to obtain 209 bhp at the crank you would have to produce at the wheels, 177.7 (devide by .85 = 209) which any scholar of tuning will
tell you belongs in the Beano book of true facts.

Although Both editions of the monthly FORD 'Beano' mags regularly feature cars that 'should be around' or 'must make about' or 'once runin/setup Dave hopes to make 3 gozillion H.P.'

Strange then very few of the articals feature performance figures and STRANGER still when these cars are timed an awful lot of them develop missfire's clutch slip/gearbox problems

'so we weren't able to actually measure
how fast it was................' zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

 

WTF is all of this strange shit

 

Learn to read. It may make sense.......................

 

ivor, you do talk some shit... alot of topics seems to have random posts from you




1) whats a tuned speedo?

2) wtf???

3) must have been one fook off powerful bike to be too powerful for a RR

4) WTF is this devide by .82 thing?

you can get many points across on one post, not a new one for each fookin line!!! 6 posts w/o reply
