Southern Rolling Road Day Uxbridge 08-02-14

Post 659538 by V70 Graham on 2013-11-11 14:05:39

Following on from this years very successful Rolling Road day at Power Engineering I am thinking of organising another one for early 2014 http://www.powerengineering.co.uk/acatalog/home.htm They are very close to the M25, M40 and M4 with loads of parking available. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en...d=0CKQBEPwSMAM I am thinking of Saturday the 8th February and although Power Engineering are "reviewing our pricing structure" they have very kindly agreed to hold their prices at the same rates which are dependant on numbers 6-15 cars would be £35 each and 16+ cars £30 each They can accommodate 4WD cars (unless the 4WD system breaks down again) but the rollers are not linked, however they have had numerous S60R's etc on the rollers with no problems. As last year if you could add your name to the list I'd appreciate it, this is just to gauge interest, you are not committing to anything.....yet 1. V70 Graham

[QUOTE=V70 Graham;659806]Peter, I have e-mailed Power Engineering and will let you know their reply, I know some dyno's struggle with auto's.[/QUOTE] They are a bit trickier to get reliable numbers on. [QUOTE=M-R-P;659813]Gaytronic should be ok if you select the manual option. Its fully auto boxes that cause trouble.[/QUOTE] Have you ever tried a geartronic? Trying to get one to hold a gear while accelerating from low revs is bloody hard, so is still going to be tricky on a dyno.

So T5frankie I'm assuming you 850 T5 has a fair few upgrades seeing as you're somewhat of a banter benchmark in the way of power and quatre mile terminal times. Had a friend who had a 850 T5R with an AMD map on it: 345bhp 390lb/ft. That was with only an induction system and Bailey dump valve! I probably won't break any records as my GSI has been set up for the road particularly since my new map is running lower boost in aid of a little more ignition timing and a tired turbo! Thank you kindly V70 Graham.

There is an AMD stage 2 map on ebay at the min...... i might buy it now if i get 345bhp lol

I'm not trying to defend or lie my way out. I mistook the model. The power explanations above made me Google for confirmation! It was a V70 T5R (250) in the mark 1 shape. Again the power and torque figures had been significantly inflated. I'd not taken enough interest to research since it wasn't my own car or one I intended to buy or own. As mentioned 'had' a friend. Same guy sold me his xBox 360 last year and then logged on using a different console after I bought a membership (Microsoft are also impossible for help when it comes to assistance without Login details!). I have to say that the power figures make a lot more sense as there was little difference between our cars (Stage 3 on my GSI) as I followed him up the slip road onto the motorway (which I simply dismissed due to the weight difference)! Even if it had additional modifications to the ones remembered I doubt he was making over 285bhp. Admittedly, I feel pretty silly about now! 

Post 668917 by Sunil on 2013-12-13 14:21:14

Interestingly it looks like the mark 2 V70 R design does make around 345bhp and 390lb/ft which is where those figures may have been fabricated! My good friend John has the new shape (Bright metallic blue), he's taking it to the open pit lane at Brands Hatch next Friday! That feels very impressive once it gets going!! Is anybody attending that from here?!

I don't speak to the fore mentioned V70 owner and don't have any affinity for the car and significantly it's owner! It seemed torquey as a passenger and wasn't disappointing as a car to follow in my GSI. I stated the output figures mentioned for the fact it was an impressionable power figure to look forward to at the rolling road. I was interested to see some of the cars participating but first impressions make it clear that I'm not being considered as an enthusiast and not realistically welcome. This thread was focused to identify and generate interest in the prospective rolling road for February 14. I'll leave attending. Thank you for your consideration V70 Graham and M-R-P for your friendly welcome.

Post 669348 by Sunil on 2013-12-14 14:34:25

Sorry T5Frankie, I meant once ECU remapped by the likes of BSR or MTE (Torque figure was overstated by me). I can only go off the details owners have suggested. Admittedly I may have misconceptions of some of the figures. I did believe the Volvo and Ford used 2.5T made more torque than is stated. Here's where I have just looked to get an idea of a guide mapped figure: http://www.bsr-tuning.co.uk/products/t407/ Sorry as I expressed I've liked V70 series! They're completely overlooked for both their luxury, subtle but lovely road presence and most significantly their performance. Naturally, never considered one as a car since its only me and my girlfriend (fingers crossed my fiancé soon!). I'm not one to use bhp and lb/ft values for my own car. I've never had it on a rolling road and was predominantly interested to identify where the turbo is struggling and what the graph is demonstrating in relation to the engines characteristics while the turbo is approaching replacement! On the other hand, once I get my replacement Hybrid and my new compressor wheel set up (its a secret only Courtenay Sport and 3 of of my friends have been pitched!) I will be interested in the power figure as its different to the Garret big boys and my current K06 hybrid! �� Let's start over and if there's space and an interest by others for me to participate in the rolling road day I'd be grateful. T5frankie *shake hands* �� [QUOTE=T5frankie;668946]a 2003-2007 v70r only makes 300bhp and 400nms, there is no production volvo that makes that kind of horsepower, just so you know the T5-r was only out in 1994-95 then it was the 850r between 96-97 and from 97-07 it was just called the v70r btw its not that you aint welcome its we get and see too many blaggards i" have this power" etc. don't come quoting figures about cars we know everything about, and i happen to like gsi's lol[/QUOTE]

Lol, welcome along. Just as a side note, there was a turbo GSI in Exmouth a while back that floored it everywhere. After I showed him what an 80's minicab could do he sold it. So did the Lotus Elise. Haha!

Post 669578 by Sunil on 2013-12-15 01:04:09

Interesting point you make there T5frankie... There's a renowned tuner amongst the Vauxhall community who has a tendency to inflate figures on their rolling road and map values #cough# Regal #cough# Motorsport #cough cough#!! Thanks Smithy! Its a fairly capable car but honestly speaking I very rarely get provoked so haven't really played with anything! Although a little play about does sound fun! Not sure I'd be an equal match down the strip (4WD VS FWD) due to traction limits on launch but a rolling start would be very interesting! I definitely love my GSI to bits and enjoy driving her! Just like anybody else here I've done my best by her. Oil change every 3000 miles (bottom end is on 120,000 miles), look things over on the weekend and spent the value of another GSI making her faster, handle better and stop sooner! Cherry 1809 your toy sounds very naughty!! If I see you, I think I'll play safe: turn up my music and nod to the beat! :P Is anybody local to Langley, Berkshire?

Post 676681 by V70 Graham on 2014-01-02 15:57:40

Right guy's and gal's I've heard back from Ian and they can accommodate 24 cars providing we are ready to start at 0900 sharp. I will be pm'ing all those who have shown an interest in the next couple of days to ask for a £10 deposit to secure your place. Remember if we get 16+ cars it works out at only £30 each which is a bargain.

Post 676910 by V70 Graham on 2014-01-03 08:56:17

Just sent out the requests for the deposits if you haven't received one please pm me and I will give you the details. £10 secures your place at what will hopefully be an event just as good as last year. I will be providing a couple of (very small) trophies and Anne will have 'bacon butties' on the go from 0730 for anyone who wants to meet at mine beforehand.

Going to try to make this, only prob is my missus is due the day before with our second, so attendance it going to be a bit hit & miss! Graham - can I show up & pay on the day? Not to worry if that's a bit cheeky as I'll come as a spectator anyway as it'll be a good chance to meet some of you fellas. Cheers, Morgan

So it's trophies for S/V40's, S/V70's S60's S80's all pre ME7 and ME7 plus petrol and diesel, and one for any Pink cars ! Sounds like my old school sports day, we all got a prize.....we were all 'special' !

whp is better anyway. its what your getting on the road. who cares what you get at the crank cause as soon as you compare 4wd and 2wd those figures go out the window. bhp is for braging at the pub as it make so car sound more powerfull than it is.

have to disagree here, the P2 is much better built and far more comfortable (electrical gremlins aside were talking build quality not electricals, for which neither are known for their longevity) this is a matter if preference and I won't hide the fact I prefer the P2. it's not my place or anybody else's to say which is better.

Post 679222 by LiamT4 on 2014-01-10 17:03:32

On the "built better" part, are the phase 2's actually better? Or is it simply because they are newer? I've been In a couple of well looked after 850s and s/v/c70s and they seem just as good as the newer cars, while I've been in some very poor s60s........so more down to the owners for me. What I will say though, is that when Volvo released the 850, they were aiming at bmw, audi and Mercedes. When they released the s60/v70 this didn't seem the case anymore.

have to disagree there. last year i looked at a 2005 m sport 530d estate and the build quality inside reminded me of a nissan. lots of plastic. seats wernt that comfortable and certainly wasnt good enough for me to part with me s60. mercedes seem to have better interiors than bmw. i expected the bmw to be better than the volvo but it wasnt a patch on it

Post 679240 by S70T5Chris on 2014-01-10 17:33:26

I have to say, I have always maintained that the interior plastics, and general solid feel on the interiors, of a P1 (not necessarily an 850) is better quality than a P2. The interior looks nicer in a P2, but better quality? I personally don't think so.

[QUOTE=V70 Graham;680300]Don't panic boy's..... Bacon butties at mine beforehand (all welcome) from 0730 and Anne is talking of doing a pot of chilli for when we finish (all welcome). There is a McD's within a mile (drivethru) if required. If we can get to 16 cars I believe 'Power Engineering' may put on a BBQ as they did last year, as soon as we get 16 confirmed I'll drop them an e-mail.[/QUOTE] Blimmy your going to quite some effort, fair play to you!

Post 680860 by V70 Graham on 2014-01-16 14:41:15

Just heard back from 'Power engineering' and they won't be doing a BBQ this year for us but will be doing sausage rolls, tea and coffee, shame but if I remember rightly we didn't exactly eat loads of it last year, they have confirmed the price of £30 per car though as we now have 16 cars confirmed. Anne will still be doing 'bacon butties' before and chilli afterwards for anyone who fancies it.

Post 680868 by stribo on 2014-01-16 14:50:46

Chilli afterwards, lovely, we'll be there. It doesn't look like my car's going to be ready in time now, as I can't fit parts one handed, but I may take the TCV out of the loop, and just have the bleed valve controlling the actuator, see if I can extract a bit more power that way, until I get everything else done.

That was a good video Martin, with twice as many cars this years should reach to 15 mins easily. Did we really only run 9 cars last year.....

These guys do the runs in 3rd right? Gonna have an interesting spike on mine if they do because of the lockup in 3rd. I'd better dig out the old graph from the last time she was dyno'd and see ...

[QUOTE=T5frankie;682671]so you think that turbo is worth the money?[/QUOTE] Every penny. It absolutely pulls stronger to the limiter than the K24 did on my car.

Whether it produces more or less power on the dyno than a K24 would doesn't concern me at all. Reliability was the main reason for going for the Owens 19t.

[QUOTE=stribo;683373]I think it's more a case that you're unsuitable for forklifts.:P[/QUOTE] I disagree. I passed all 3 forklift tickets with top marks (sideloader, counterbalance, telehandler) MEWP 3a & 3b tickets with top marks, HIAB with guess what... top marks and in 13 years of driving heavy plant, I've had one issue. Ok, turning a sideloader on it's side can be considered to be a pretty bloody big issue but I was lead to believe the load was well within the weight limit of the machine so technically, not my fault. :) I still don't like driving that thing.

Been driving reach, counterbalance, rough terrain, and telehandlers for 24 years on and off, never turned one over, maybe your top marks made you complacent.;)

There are at least a couple of people coming on Saturday who have never had their cars on rollers before and I thought it would be an idea to post up a few tips that might help. I'll start off by saying you should check your fluid levels (both oil and water) as you won't be able to run without sufficient oil in your engine, and as Wayne found out last year the oil supplied by Power Engineering isn't cheap should you need to 'top up' Any more hints or tips.....

I'm now in panic mode :) Went in to have 2 new tyres fitted this morning and ......... bloody McGard locking wheel nuts won't come off. Fortunately the one tyre which was near the limit didn't have the locking nut fitted so at least that's a plus but the other one I was replacing has a slow puncture. The local Indy who was the last to have the wheels off is going to have a look Friday morning and hopefully I can get these damn things off the car for good. Sods law says if they don't come off I am bound to get a puncture Saturday now I know they are knackered.

Firstly, get yourself down In-eXcess and buy a couple of cans of "Flat-Mate" and let a load of air out of the tyre with the slow puncture, re-inflate it with the Flat-Mate and drive around for 10 miles at about 30mph, that'll sort the slow puncture.

I am going to attempt to call on the day to meet up with a couple of old customers and contacts. I have a few odds and ends of old stock that I may sling in the boot. A couple of boot spoilers for the old S40 and for 850 estates and P1 V70. An MS design S60 grill, a new 18" Michelin for the P2s, 2 pairs of rear Eibach springs for 850 estate, V70 (P1) and original C70. A few odd Powerflex bushes, some stainless lambda 'hole' bungs........ABS pump off 2001 S60 T5 and a new, unpackaged, unfitted, unused, dusty...maybe a bit scratched Ferrita cat-back for an S60 T5 (P2). All for cash on the day. Regards, Don.

Hi Don, not sure if you spoke with Tim or not. If not, and you haven't dropped me anything to his, I need an IPD rear anti roll bar and a Ferrita dp to fit an angled flange turbo to fit my 850R. If you do make it, I could grab those off you?

Just come off the phone to Ian at 'Power Engineering' and they are all geared up and looking forward to seeing us on Saturday morning. They enjoyed our visit last year and with more than double the cars this time we're in for a great day. They will be providing tea/coffee and 'sausages in rolls' as I've already said Anne will be supplying 'burgers and hot dogs' if all else fails theres a McD's about 5 mins away ! The 4WD cars will be done separately, probably at the end, though if we need them done earlier it won't be a problem. For those coming to mine for 'bacon butties' any time after 0715 will be fine, for the rest of you it's 0900 at 'Power Engineering' To make it easier for me can I ask that when your car is on the rollers you pay me your outstanding money so I can pay all together at the end.

Hoping they will be able to let me know if im running rich or lean as even with all the sensors ive replaced the car still doesnt feel right. Also, i can bring my flash code reader and ODB2 reader if anyone wants to use them? - clears service lights ect, worked on my 97 which is notorious

Post 687474 by S70T5Chris on 2014-02-06 12:31:17

It would be very unusual not to measure the afr's, and could be dangerous, so I can't see that being the case. Some dyno's do however have a separate wideband sensor and gauge for the operator to watch, which unfortunately doesn't get plotted on the graph. That's how it was at Powerstation when I went a few years ago.

Post 687484 by WillT5 on 2014-02-06 12:46:11

Well I'm always open to advice! Definitely running a cat, been running the same on two exhausts (standard and stainless). Looking forward to seeing what the AFR says, if they let me read it

Maybe it's on it's way out, and the increased boost from the map might be just enough to tip it over the edge. All the ignition components can be like that, fine on standard boost but show they're wearing out when you run a remap. Does it kind of 'surge' when you've got your foot down, like power on, power off, power on, etc... even though you haven't adjusted the pedal? I had that on my S70 years ago, and it was the bcs causing it.

Might even clean it as the sun is shining :) If anyone down South does have a problem with McGard wheel nuts, First Choice has a kit which is 100% guaranteed to get them off without damaging your alloys.

Scratch that. Just took the five minutes to fix the light switch now. Superglue and duct taped ftw! Surprisingly, gluing it back together seems to have made one of my front fog lights work now, too. Good and bad, in that at least one of them works, which is good, but bad in that only one of them works, and next to the HIDs it looks like a candle lol.

Post 688056 by M-R-P on 2014-02-08 02:52:13

Well today very nearly saw me and Craig arrive in the Sweed... Yesterday, we decided to do an oil change on the D5. All went well, oil out the bottom, new stuff and filter in the top - sorted. The rain was an issue but nothing we couldn't cope with. We started the engine to let the oil work round, so we can check the levels etc and I started hearing this weird "psst psst psst psst" noise. Quite fast and continuous, getting faster as the revs rose. After a fair bit of poking about I pinned it down to the injector on pot No. 1, it was leaking from the seal and emitting a fine jet of fuel/combustion gasses about a foot straight up. This got us both in a panic as I don't know a thing about diesel injectors so we proceeded to scratch our heads for a minute. I decided to see if the bolts holding the injector in place were loose (start with the most obvious) and found that they weren't very tight at all. Worryingly, the bolt on the side of the injector that was leaking tightened but didn't feel right, so I took it out to find small fragments of alloy in the thread - bugger! After a fair bit of rummaging about in the toolbox and then some snipping and grinding, I came up with a bolt of the same thread pitch but was a few mm longer than the other bolt, in the hope of finding a unused bit of thread in the bottom of the hole. I tightened it as much as I dare and woohoo - all is well with chavboy's D5! I went on to check the rest of the injector bolts and found them all to be quite "un-tight" apart from the last on on pot 5. If it plays up again, I think it'll be a case of pulling the injector out, fitting a new seal and tapping a larger hole for a bigger bolt. Time will tell I suppose.

Absolutely excellent day, many thanks Graham for organizing! I can't believe how quickly they got through the cars, it's a good set up. I'll be honest, I was utterly disappointed with my results. The guy on running the dyno said, the car was surging, and holding back so I don't know what that was all about. Time to get a proper remap I think! Great day though, and super turnout.

Apologises, but I didn't get the last image from graham... He'going to have to do the honours.. My photobucket account is playing up, but I didn't take any many car photos as there were plenty of others doing it, so they'll be up lodaded no doubt. Mine is a bit odd... Hit 225BHP and the car is supposed to be standard at 200... Quite a smooth graph too..

Grats to Scott, some very nice numbers and of course, Power Engineering for all their hard work getting us all through.

Well what a day, it was a pleasure to organise this for you all, I do appreciate that some of you came quite a distance, I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. Thank you to Anne for looking after the 'bacon buttie' brigade and also for popping down with supplies of burgers and hotdogs, I'm sure it was much appreciated. Just going to pop up the results so you can all be reminded how well/badly you did.

To be honest I am a bit upset at the results for my car today, a lot of people noted the chattering and the power didn't hold after 3250 rpm, though the 311.9 ft/lb figure was good, talking to a few of you it could be the actuator or tcv, hopefully easily sorted.

Great day, thanks to Graham for organising it, Annemarie for feeding us all, and Lee for the remapped ECU :D. Mixed feelings really, I would have liked more power, but am very pleased with my torque figure. Maybe if I'd got more than one run I would have got a few more horses, but having seen Frankies car have a little bonfire, thought best to abort the second run. Really looking forward to seeing what my car will do once all the mods I have are fitted, and the oil leak fixed.

Post 688234 by Vard66 on 2014-02-08 21:06:37

Better than I. I had a brief convoy with Sharky Steve again on the way back, and then pulled out right behind an R35 GTR out of Reading Services, which I had a (very, VERY brief, mildly embarrassing but mostly amusing) go at. *Edited for accuracy. Just doesn't work, taking on an R35 GTR with 232hp...*

I would like to thanks Graham for this event I had a good time ,looking forward for the next one! Funny enough on my way home I had experienced some misfire on wot ,I get home trying to figure out what's wrong ,no codes on diagnose....I had remembered swapping the spark plugs with some NGK couple of days ago.Guess what..., I had swapped the plugs with the old Bosch, go for a run and no misfire pulling like train .BINGO!I had done maybe 3k miles on NGK iridium not impressed at all.Check your spark plugs!!!LOL

Post 688239 by Costash on 2014-02-08 21:25:51

Had a great day yesterday if a little cold. Thanks to Annemarie for the breakfast, just what I needed after just a couple hours sleep. Pretty pleased with my figures. Torques up on standard and with just a Cat-Back exhaust and a Pipercross filter that's not a bad result. 2.2BHP down on book figures but apparently they don't usually make 300HP in realitysocant complain. Thanks guys for organising yet another great event. Thanks for the pics too.

All cars looking great, two which I was looking forward to seeing were Neal's and Chris's your cars are both fantastic examples and having seen them in the metal I can see why there reputations precede them, and for very good reason, but like I said was great to see all the cars and brillaint to see so many likeminded Volvo nuts in one place :) I did manage to grab 5 mins in the car park whilst they were swapping cars on the rolling road so here are the shots I took, I think there may have been a couple of cars that I missed so apologies but they must have been on the rollers at the time..

Post 688523 by S70T5Chris on 2014-02-10 12:39:25

[QUOTE=T5RatherAmusin;688515]Do you understand correction factor chris?[/QUOTE] Not really. Apparently a dyno dynamics doesn't do a coast down to work out the flywheel power. It just has a set percentage that it just applies to the calculated whp, which seems daft to me. I'm just trying to figure out what shootout modes peoples cars were run in, as obviously 4 and 5 cynlinder, 2wd and 4wd, forced induction and na, would all be different settings. My car was run in SHOOT_5, meaning 5 cylinder. But from researching the internet, that means a 5 cylinder na car. The correct mode for a 5 cylinder turbocharged car should be SHOOT_5f, and the correct mode for a 4wd, 5 cylinder should be SHOOT_54f. Villians car was ran in SHOOT_44, meaning 4 cylinder, 4wd!???!! My car and his should be run in the same mode. ExternalError, and Graham car were run in SHOOT_5, the same as mine, but they have fwd cars?!! Waynes T4, was run in the correct mode SHOOT_4f - 4 cylinder, forced induction.

Post 688527 by T5RatherAmusin on 2014-02-10 12:48:10

fair enough. my understanding of correction was based on atmo pressure, humidy etc.... i dont remember seeing coast downs tbh in what videos i saw....

At least on Power Stations dyno I can compare to some of the other guys with tuned S60R's, so I can see where I am. The guy at Power Engineering said the car was holding back on the dyno, I don't know what he means by that, but something isn't right for sure. There is no way in a million years it's 322bhp!

Post 688552 by Villan on 2014-02-10 14:30:51

I've found the graph from when the car was last dyno'd - 2008 - and although the peak power and torque are very close, where they appear on the graph is totally different - as is the shape of the graphs! 2008: 2014: I've noticed that it says that my run the other day was done in 4th - sounded like it was in 3rd to me ... plus 5500rpm in 4th is 100+mph ... !

Post 688582 by don kalmar union on 2014-02-10 17:32:16

Dyno Dynamics is an Australian company with a chequered history.....to say the least. Prior to the company going into receivership some years ago they had a very effective salesman operating here in the UK who shifted a lot of metal mainly because it was well priced against the better quality kit particularly from MAHA, Dyna-Pak and Rototest which is really reference quality and in a far different league. There are so many variations of how to set up this particular brand that you can never, ever get even fairly accurate or comparable figures....the more so if there are no plots available for AFRs, timing etc. Power Engineering did have many years ago both 2 and 4WD MAHA machines but with moving premises, changes in ownership etc. they now have just this one piece of kit. In fact the original MAHA 4WD machine is still in situ across the road at their old premises now occupied by Ecutek. The very best installation of a bang up to date MAHA is in Bletchley, MK at Marlin where there is a fair bit of historic information, plots, print outs etc., related to later model Volvos which are essential for good interpretation of 'dyno' runs. I am sure I can dig out some relevant runs for Chris and others maybe seeking back up to their current efforts. Regretably paying out once again at Marlin, maybe Power Station in Tewkesbury or a few other places will certainly be well worthy of consideration. Don.

Post 688586 by S70T5Chris on 2014-02-10 17:51:19

Thanks for the info Don. I really don't wish to sound like I'm making excuses for my poor results, but it just isn't correct, there's no way. I have spoke with Tim and he thinks a power run at Powerstation/Marlin is the best way forward, and then go from there. As they seem to be the bench mark, and would be a good point of comparison with the other reasonably tuned S60R's that are around. I do have a company called Regal Autosport local to me, that have a 4wd Mustang dyno, which judging by the internet, is quite a well respected piece of equipment. But that may just complicate things? Incidentally Tim did mention that you can (and he has, at the request of some customers) tune a car to perform better on the dyno at the expense of on-road performance. I don't want to get in the realms of that, just to get a decent dyno figure! A sub 6 second 60-100 says it all really.

Post 688588 by T5frankie on 2014-02-10 18:09:53

320bhp would get you a sub 6 second 60-100, sharkeys standard car made bang on figures

Post 688589 by stribo on 2014-02-10 18:10:40

Looking at my graph, I thought the actuator was too weak, as the torque tails off quite sharply having reached it's peak, but having a test on a private runway today, it was peaking at 1.2 bar, then holding 1 bar all the way to the redline, so Saturday seems to have raised more questions than it's answered. Naturally if the torque held at that level further up the rev range, the BHP would be considerably higher. :)

[QUOTE=dant5r;688631]So the best thing to do is take your car to every dyno in the country until you get the highest bhp ? why cant people just except the dyno reading and not maon that the dyno operate ££££ed up the readings.[/QUOTE] That's not the point at all. A Rolling Road is a good diagnostic tool. So if the result isn't as expected, then that means something is amiss, possibly with the car. I have been playing with these cars for over 10 years now, and have a pretty good idea of what hardware will see what gains. In my case, the car produced 322bhp on the dyno, that is way down on what it should be with the hardware on the car. So a problem has been highlighted. Is it a problem with the car or a problem with the dyno? I suspect the dyno is the problem, but I will take the car to a dyno I have used multiple times, and trust. If something still doesn't add up with the car, then it can be addressed. That is the point of a going to another dyno. If you have a poor understanding of how dynos work, and how they can be used a good diagnostics tool, then that's your failing. Not sure why you feel the need to get the arse on and flap your gums about something you clearly don't understand.

It just so happened to be me this time! Generally people know roughly the ballpark of what their car should produce. If it doesn't then it highlights a problem, which can be addressed, which is precisely the point of running the car on a dyno.

Surely the 19t is a step backwards as volvo fitted the s60r with the k24.

Scotts 850, which made 338bhp, 'Had' the same Owens 19t, which has now been reverted back to a standard compressor wheel. It will not produce as much power as the original Owens 19t. that is on my car. Yet, running dangerously lean it produced 338bhp.

[QUOTE=dant5r;688712]Surely the 19t is a step backwards as volvo fitted the s60r with the k24.[/QUOTE] Its a hybridised 19t, rated to 375bhp. That has a 64mm billet Alloy compressor wheel, 360 degree thrust bearing, and clipped blades (to 10 degrees IIRC). It may only produce as much or a tad more peak power than a K24, but K24's are unreliable lumps of dog turd, which was 50% of the reason I went with the Owens 19t. Cars with the exact same hardware as my car, but using a k24 produce anywhere between 350-370bhp on the RR. 350bhp from my car is a very realistic figure.

Chris, been reading this thread with interest. TOTALLY understand why you are a bit peeved. And can see why you are suspicious of the RR you all visited. If the car drives very well on the road as you say, and considering all the mods you have done........... I would be disappointed to say the least! You obviously know how to tune your car to a high standard, so from an objective view that I am taking having read all the posts, I think 'don't panic' until you have been to the Dyno that you know and trust. I bet you are thinking of all the aggro, money, time, effort that you have put in and the result is a downer. As an aside, I thought my totally standard 2.4 V70 T5 was running badly so went for a dyno. Result showed 259.8BHP for a 9 year old car and a smooth(ish) HP and torque curve. Complete opposite of your situation:confused: Anyway, good luck mate, hope all works out without too much expenditure!!!

When I first built Scott's car with the Owens turbo it was without a doubt very close to 400hp. It turned out the turbo was being worked just that little bit too hard. 370-380hp at around 1.5/1.6 is what I would expect from that turbo with supporting mods + MI. It was very very fast! The map ( Tim + Ben ) was also very good and optimised for high octane fuel and methanol.

[QUOTE=stribo;688917]The way your car picked up on the rollers I thought it was going to make far more than it did.[/QUOTE] Well...apparently didn't.I am happy it didn't had any misfires was a clean run and enjoyed driving it that day.

Sorry I missed this now. But with the V70 running like a schlaaaag, and the 850 not even started on it wouldn't have been worth the journey:(

its strange as no-one would say grey is their favourite colour but put a mint red and grey one together and everyone is drooling over the grey one :parhmph:

Actually, Neal's car stood out more than any car there, almost glowed and looked brilliant on camera.
