Right i rang them today, and we are the only ones booked in for Saturday, so we can have the rollers for as long as possible.
So if anyone is thinking of coming your more then welcome, the more that turn up the cheaper it works out.

Love that road, especially the part that winds up the hill then drops back off into a long straight. The bit near Monmouth with the roundabouts is fun too!

So the mechanic who was changin my manifold gasket, sorting a prob with manifold and fitting my new larger turbo elbow decided to go home early today and not bother... Proper pissed me off!

Also left me to change my own injectors and fpr, as my 3.8 bar fpr was making the injectors leak!!

Did that, then guess what???!!
The one nearest the new 3 bar fpr was leaking after 10 mins!!! Really really pissed off now!!

After fidling for 10 mins managed to stop the leak and have had her running for an hour now and all is still ok so i'll still be coming, Really looking forward to it!!

that's better \:D

my previous run at PowerStation gave me 350bhp, but I later discovered a couple of boost leaks.

Today I got 395bhp at about 1.6 bar - another run at 1.7 bar gave 388bhp, but that was the third or fourth run in rapid succession, so there was a fair bit of heatsoak by then

Different rollers will always give different results, so I'm perfectly happy with this one. Speaking with Rich, the Powerstation chappie, he said he could easily have shown me 400+ bhp by running in 4th gear (he used 5th for the power runs)

Was a good day,thanks to everyone that came, hope everyone enjoyed it. If anyone wants the pdf of there last power runs i should have them soon (emailed didn't work today, so will phone them in the week to resend).

I was very happy with my power after my mapping, my gt28rsr kept up with the gt28rs boys (apart from benny \:\) you got great power).

I made 335bhp so just what i was looking for. Just got to find out now why its boosting 400-500 rpm later then my last time at powerstation (think my variator isn't working).


Also a big thank you to Leighton for having a look at my car again.

259 bhp from my standard 20 VT. FC performance (Flea) - found me 40 extra horses from some where!! Very pleased indeed :-)

Sadly they only saved my 256bhp run :-(
I am sure i had 250 torque on my best run but the saved graph had 238.

Was great to see some very powerful Coupes!!! And only £30 a head - what a bargain!!

Thanks

Dan

Yes - must say that the £30 bill was a very pleasant conclusion to a bloody good day out.

With the knowledge that my fuelling is good for more than the 1.6 bar I've been running for the last few months, I had a play on the M5 on the way home. I can certify that 1.95 bar is huge fun and not very quiet ;\)

I also had a good day out and the coupe performed okay ;\)

It was a little rich midrange and torque was down a bit,

which on the way home i discovered i was running a bit less boost than it should be so that's fixed now

Shame i did'nt have a chance to have a chat to you Nigel but there is always next time \:\)

Results were 366bhp 303ft/lb

will post pic's and graph in the week \:\)
