Happy new yaer to everyone....

Where is this place? Well Lane Turbo's that is.....

I have had mine Dyno'ed but the results were not what I expected.

.... based on what others have said about their outputs, and thier respective 1/4 mile times..... so I am confused and keen to go up along side other T5's.

**hamish** · Wednesday 5th January 2005, 00:40

Can I come along ? It's only a standard T5!(mine, not Adam's) My only concern is that it might put a few myths to bed !!!!
Regards,
Hamish.

MrsMopp,

The name doesn't do you any justice at all...

The results were poor to say the least, the dyno claimed that I had 189 BHP at the wheels of course, slightly higher than a "standard" curve they had, I have loads more torque... but never got near the 200 HP !!

I have loads of questions, and loads of sorrow at this news... but still I can do a 15.2 1/4 mile, so where are all these HP claims coming from I ask myself....

Or should I just put it down to a bad session?

**lance** · Wednesday 5th January 2005, 18:48

Do you have any mods as 189 bhp equates to around 230-235 bhp at the fly wheel ( I Think)+ if your cars turbos past its best Ie 100k + or have a slight airleak its never going to be 100 %.

Im waiting nervously hoping mine will do well on the day !

I hope yours is up to scratch on the 6th,
Im sure its frustrating not getting the hoped amount of power it could be down to not enough forced induction to produce the boost and then the bhp.

Personally I dont think standing quaters give a good indication of power as too much wheel spin can slow you down and you need 4th gear to give you a good indication of power and boost.

The difference between a good standard car and a good tuned car is only 3/4 of a second you could lose or gain that in too much wheel spin or good or bad gear changes.

LOL! Why thank you kind sir!!!

Its been said before but dyno days aren't always an acurate way to calculate what you are produce. There is no dianostic equiptment for a start to tell you whats going on with your car and the later you are on those rollers the hotter they are getting. I would guess that you would end up with different results everytime you dynoed as everyones dyno's seem to be a little different.

If Adam gets his finger out he is meant to be putting mine and J's on his local dyno with full diagnostics and plenty of time to sort out any problems that may be happening. Maybe then we will see how close we are to the RICA claims.

Lance,

Turbo, running out of steam, 100+ miles, well yes, she as done 130,000 now, can only boost to 13(ish) sometimes peaks at 1Bar, but has a boost problem that I haven't nailed yet, perhaps perfection isn't what I am going to get without spending loads on something, I would however like to visit VT and see what they say... just have to find the time... working for one's self it ain't easy to take time off!!!

if I could just get the boost problem sorted I would be happy, It's never going to be a rocket ship, I just want it sweet... I will never have it in me to spend loads, I just would like to enjoy what is there... but a high 14 would be nice :-)

**wright_t5** · Thursday 6th January 2005, 06:45

hi, there again...

Dyno's, rolling roads, haven't been close enough to them to sort out the real difference, the place I went to didn't fill me with confidence, they firts of all thought the ECU box was the air filter!!!

then they tried to undo the wheel nuts by turning them anti-clockwise

sooo, I might have bite the bullet and take a trip north, or find someone further south to sort me problem out.... Either way I will be at the Pod on the 23rd to see what she can do....

As for yours on the dyno, it would be good to get other feedback on the actual compared to paper claims.....

Thanks for listening...

**JUDGENINJA** · Thursday 3rd February 2005, 00:14

Well this session is going ahead.........

So if your out for a Sunday drive and fance meeting up with of us then you know where to find us.....9:00 start

Todays rolling road was very good !I bet Ian c70 is very pleased with his full fat 310bhp, NICE!

I wasnt expecting fullfat figs but with a worn turbo 266bhp was quite pleasing !

However tourque read out seemed well off the mark and I hope not accurate as a stock s/v70 produces 244 lb ft of tourque at 2100 rpm however mine didnt peak till well around 3800 rpm and around 250 lb ft which stayed consistant upto aprox 5800 rpm. At 2100 rpm it was aprox 150lbft which seems a huge difference in the wrong direction.

Just found conversion formular lbft x 1.3358 = NM
244 LBft =325.935 NM
250 lbft = 333.95 NM

I bet he was, here the graph, lets see Don pull that apart

The rest were as follows:

284 Bhp from Hamish in his rica V70 ME7
266 Bhp from Lance 98 V70 T5 Rica
264 Bhp from Dave 850R Auto Rica
259 Bhp from Andrew Cardwell 96 850 T5R Auto Rica
255 Bhp from Turbo lad in a S70 T5 Rica
238 monsterdark V70 T5 Auto (stock)
235 Bhp VT5 Vince 850 T5 (stock)
212 Bhp Judgeninja 850 T5 (stock)
171 Bhp from Rooster S40 2.0 LPT (stock)

Some reasonable results there, some obviously have some running issues.

Thanks to Dave 850R for the graphs and input yet again
