my turn on the rollers.........

[lee bishop]

my car is getting taxed at 9.00am on friday, at 10.00am it is booked in for a session on the rollers at local tuner, tom airey! i cant wait to have the car given the once over, he reckons two hours tops should have my motor as sweet as a marsh mallow bee.......... but at a cost.......£160 for his time, which i am hoping will be worth the dosh, i had considered a krypton static tune up, but they arent as good as having it fuelling correctly under load, and at lots of revs........i am not expecting massive figures, as the car is mostly stock, bar a four branch, and K&N, but he reckons we will have good results......
wish me luck, i hope it doesnt blow up........

[GAZ W]

good luck mate , hope the hp isnt below what your expecting

[RS2000&MEXICO]

you might see about 125bhp at the flywheel for them mods.....

[lee bishop]

doubt it, i'm expecting 110bhp at the flywheel, if i am lucky.... oh yeah, i forgot to add my car now has an electric rad fan, so that may find me 5 bhp somewhere............

[RS2000&MEXICO]

lol......it might..............not....lol

[Dingy]

Sorry to say but K&N and 4 Branch will make no difference to power cause neither are restrictive in standard form LOL.....

Unless you run some ignition advance

I'd say 90 @ wheels, who cares about guestimate Flywheel anyway

[vinny]

good luck lee, have heard a lot of good things about tom so your be in good hands.

looks like you might be popping over next week some time with tim so hope to see you then,

[Kel]

my turn on the 15th April

[roths]

Interesting, Dingy....I got 90 @ wheels..with K&N/Ashley/38DGas/Fast Road cam..does that sound a bit low??

Si

[Dingy]

My standard car made 89 @ wheels.....had a K&N on it tho but don't really class that as a mod

[lee bishop]

well ive been, and i now have a car that is running noticeably much better, the only dissapointment is the HP figures..........
flywheel= 108bhp
wheels= 82 bhp..............
it was lean at the bottom,and rich at the top, so the lid came off the carb, and jets were swapped, now it feels good, i am just lacking in pub ammo!

tom did say that my engine was the quietest he'd heard for a while, and said that i have a really fit distributor, with all the right advance curves, so that is pleasing to know i have a healthy motor

[leeadams]

If it was like mine, the drive back was a LOT better than the drive there!!!

[lee bishop]

lee, did you buy any of that miller oils VSR additive he was peddleing, i bought a box of ten bottles for £40, supposed to be a lot better than the castrol stuff i was using, give fuel an octane level of 100....?

[Dingy]

Millers takes 97 to 97.2 mate 97.4 at a push LOL....

Mine made 89 @ 98RON leaded like it was that long ago.

[leeadams]

Lee, he did not offer to sell me any, but I try to only use Shell optimax and additive.
