Default Going to the Rolling Road today.

Off to the rollers to see what the ole girl can do

Changed the exhaust from a .48 to a .55, just hope the power hangs on a bit longer top end

Don't think i will get anymore power

A Big Thanks to Zoo for a Brill Service suppling the housing

Any guesses as to power and torque

Steve.

well 21psi on greens

with a 63 housing i got 348

so 330 is probably the realist power ,

unless you running high boost and high fuel presure

Well i have been

Lost power and torque upto 4500rpm

Only gained about 5bhp and 5lbft above this

Not worth the effort

Not quite what i was expecting thought i would gain more at the top end ie power and torque hanging on longer

5 bhp I suppose its a lot of cost for 5 bhp, what does it feel like on the road though, is it any laggier or do you not notice any difference.

What about my 63 housing, maybe I should change it to a 48.

Dave.

You can feel it a bit, slower picking up from low revs but when on boost it does seem to hang on a bit better.

Well i went out for a test drive today after fitting the .63 housing and all i can say is It pulls so much harder than before,all through each gear,spinning up in 3rd and a bit of 4th too I had to turn the boost down too,it went upto 2.3 bar at one point Back down to 1.9 now,what it was dynoed at. Just need to fit a boss for the lambda sensor and then get it mapped on the rollers again
