rickya Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Not had the car on rollers since I bought it 6 months ago so wanted to know what bhp & torque it was producing & if map looked good. Most Litchfied, Powerstation UK fuel mapped Spec C's are meant to produce approx 320bhp & thats what i would have been happy with or there abouts. Though Charlie from Surrey Rolling Road did warn me that the rollers at Powerstation are of a different type & always read differently from his. Not that one is right & one is wrong its just how each is designed I imagine. Surrey Rolling Road ones read lower & they have never had a Std Spec C measured more than approx 310bhp. So I lowered my excpectations & hoped between 300 to 315bhp. Only engine mods I have is Blitz backbox (otherwise std exhaust 2.5") & Hyperflow top mount intercooler, with basic Uk fuel map. My 3 quick runs later.................. YouTube - Subaru- MSOC Surrey Rolling Road-Slowboy Racing 25/10/08 Pt2 To say I was happy was an understatement!! And so was Charlie from Surey Rolling Road!! Now exscuse me but I must quote his exact words just for my own satisfaction!!!!!!! " As std its rare for them to make that much "...."that engine was smoooth & car ran like a pussycat on the rollers, didnt move & hardly made a sound"!! " the engine was strong & with no mods & just remap I could easliy see a lot more torque (which wasnt that high) & bhp upto approx 345 to 350bhp as is" Pardon my modesty!!! Anyway I also met Neil from Slowboy Racing who organised day & he offered great, helpful advice & had a quick look at my RR Printouts. He also agreed that torque & power could be easliy improved. As there is a flat spot something to do with AFR; & car is over fueling & it has a very moderate safe map at medium boost. I leave that to the technical geniuses to analyse the maps!! So very useful & fun morning that has given me info on which direction to go in, in terms of engine mods next year: -Decat down pipe & full 3" system -3 port boost solenoid -Uprated Actuator -K&N panel filter (since, done) -Remap with new mods & hope for approx 370bhp That on a 1340kg car should produce approx 250bhp per tonne & 0 to 60mph time of approx 3.8 sec Overall great day by MSOC & Slowboy racing, with mine producing 3rd highest figures of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 How do the graphs tell you when to shift gear? Should you change for optimum performance right before the limiter or where the bhp starts to even out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
