Awesome usually quote clutch power and max power. They only give you clutch power if you ask for it. If you don't you get the wheel horse power.

Incidently, AJC's escort is running 30 spi on the T34 with 55lb injectors. Not stage 3.

And incidently too, my Dad ran his car and got 391@wheels on a half map running 10 psi down, excess fueling and no ignition advance.

did it work out transmitted losses?

How do they stop the car wheel spinning on the single roller set up?

Do the cars go like the power they have?

357 ATW is over 450 bhp on a dyno.

The cars just didn't spin at all on there. Even TiB's car doesn't spin on there and he consistantly gets around 490 at the wheels on several rolling roads.

not that i am a pro by far but i got 305 ATW with 390bhp 430lbft @2.3 BAR so that must mean your escort is running about 450bhp@fly then!??? on a T34

just curious??

Surely the T34's at the limit though, what boost was it running out of interest? EDIT just noticed the 30psi!

adamski frst

i dont know the fly figures but i sure do want to know

Franco

id of thought so, it peaks over 2 bar and holds around 27 psi, which is
a bit of a pisser as i only have a 2 bar gauge, need defi to make a 3 bar one

Paul Ripley

me vs you at central day?

got to remember your low comp wont amke as much torque as
std comp, i think, i love the torque

Mike Rainbird

awesome gti @ manchester,

p.s thanks for rocker cover, very happy with outcome

I'm sticking with the Defi's (as the SECS / Collins will show true boost levels!).

You'll just have to live with the annoying fcuking beeping!!

ring up and ask mate those figures just seem way too high seen as you seem to be peakin around the same boost as me yet you have 50more bhp ATW with the similar spec... i think you'll find they'll be fly figures

Basically Harvey is going to look through my map and check it as it may not need anything... but if it does he will call Ahmed up to him... will prob cost me more if the map does need fettling or a lot less if it doesn't... But either way I know when its going in and how much its going to cost
