Default A couple of power questions

Ive noticed on another Ford site that there is some real high power figures for the mods that have been carried out.

Im always optomistic about power coz ive seen sooo many bullshitters over the years

Here goes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car 1

S2 RST

-31
Airfilter *
Exhaust *
* Dont know what kind

No chip and running standard boost

Rolling roaded at Engine Advantages

Making 175bhp@fly

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car 2

S2 RST

Chip
-31
8 psi boost
Panel filter
Pace cooler
Piper cam
Mongoose

It made 173bhp@fly on the rolling road.

Do you think these are a bit high

if you take off the 10% bhp increase you seem to get when you cross the border into England no not really, well for the 2nd car anyway


but aye, both sound like they been on an arse dyno!

For some comparison, mine made 150bhp ATW on AVA's rollers last month at the following spec.

Chipped
-31
Exhaust (unsure of make)
pace cooler and 9psi

Overfuelling a bit and not running as much boost as i rekon i could, but im happy with the power at the moment.

Out of interest, what would that be @Flywheel?

That is very good power for that spec.

My bro in law made 159.9 ATW at AVA with his S2

It had

Chip
-31
15 psi
Piper 285T2
Pace cooler
Magnex

This was about 10 years ago and on the old rolling road AVA had, the cooling wasnt as good as it was now so that would have played a part in the different power figures.

I would be chuffed with the 150 ATW you made

It would be 175 - 180@ fly
