Default Rolling road results

Went to a dyno shoot out with the S1 at Street Racers in Loughborough came out with 195bhp at the flywheel which i am happy with but at only 5100rpm, just seems a bit low on the revs.
Cam timing or worn cam ? What you reckon as i think there is more to come power wise.

Cheers PaulT

Just for reference a standard 59 plate Focus RS was run and did 303bhp with a charge temp of 72 degrees.

Nice bloke is Gordon, he said it was strong all the way but only when i got home did i notice the RPM and peak power. Its a 1.6 with BVH piper 285t2 cam and a 48 housing on the turbo and dare i say it has a chargecooler, held 16psi. May go back in the new year and book it in for a setup and see what he can do.
Heres the graph

With those mods you should be making power late and holding all the way to the limiter mate, worn cam could be restricting at higher RPM's or maybe retarded timing?

good result but the 285T2 cam really should be pulling hard all the way to the limiter and turbo shouldn't struggle.
either timing needs advancing a little or piper have made yet another shit cam

Happy with the way it drives and the power, will have the timing looked at first and then the cam.


Look at this graph from 4 years ago from Nobles when it was revved to 6K, dips at 5k where the top graph peaked and picks up power again perhaps if he pushed through this trough i could have had 200 bhp ah well
