Is that metric or imperial i.e. lbft or Nm

[smstext]

200nm. To drive its felt quite powerful again tonight which might have been the drive to and from porty today. however last few days hasnt felt to powerful and certainly felt a bit rough after the RR on the drive over to hayling.

It's a sign that rolling roads are inherently inaccurate and not to worry about it

200Nm is about 150lbft so thats where the inconsistency is, looks like everyone did well

wish i could have been there, shame i blew my gearbox up. oops.

[smstext]

phew thats good, so bengie have you updated your list of victories with the latest victory?

**update converted to book torque (lb) its 207 which is +7**

[VRS195]

Good to meet everyone today and thanks for organising (and inviting me!)

Happy that at 1,300 miles the SuperChips map seems fairly accurate.


Running TESCO boggo 95 juice:
200.3 vs 201 BHP (claimed) [203 vs 204 PS] = 0.5% err
310 lbft vs 319 lbft (clamed) = 3% err

Once the engine has loosened up a bit I am sure this will improve aswell.

On the down side, cheezemonkhai threw a spanner in the works by showing 166 BHP on an apparently utterly standard PD140 - git

Although it has been noted he did disappear for an inordinate length of time just before his run - enough time to drop a bigger engine in there? - I think a Steward's Enquiry may be needed

PS - thanks to Stu for the electrics/trim help. This PM I completed the Road Angel fit - will be updating the 12v/0v thread when I get time to take some photos.

Ender, I hope your not dissapointed with your results. It looks positive, that remapped MK1 Octavia's don't make much more than 210hp when remapped and faily modified too but it's the way the car drives on the road more than anything. Some graphs will show 230-240hp. And there just pure lies. JKM have got a very good Dyno.

Some very good results. Nice one Stu.

Enjoyable day even though I rolled up rather late, shame I missed Jasons run as I was quite looking forward to that but it sounds as though he has achieved a well sorted car despite many people being scheptical when he started the project

As for mine it needs to go back to the doctors !!
Jim said if just didnt feel as crisp as last time he ran it & the figure was certainly down on the previous run, Ok he forgot to turn the air con off but I doubt that saps 20 bhp. I had a few niggles on the Furball & Im wondering now if the problems were more than just relays.

Hopefully I can get it given the once over in the next few weeks.

[Stuart_J]

Suspitions confirmed, started the car this morning & was greeted by a selection of warning lights, hasnt dropped into limp mode but they just arent going out so to the Doctors it will be

[VRStu]

I'll bring the laptop over later Stuart.

Well, yet another good day at JKM. Nice to meet a few more people and to see what effect the dragon digital tuning box had.

In round figures, its +19hp and +63lbs ft. All for £47 2nd hand off eBay ....................

Its all about the torque on the road, the car absolutely flies in comparison to standard trim. Put the cruise control on and it simply rolls along uphill or down dale it just keeps the pace, with 4th and 5th gear in reserve to dispense with anyone who gets in the way. Though if anything it may have too much peak torque as the dmf protests every now and again, but I've learnt to drive round it now.

Just a shame I've sold the car!!

Not dissapointed at all tbh, I had RR'd at Webber and it came out at 243BHP and I thought that was far too high tbh, I think the 230-240 you speak of is at the flywheel deffo, my car stays with alot of other cars, it kept up with Makefish's mk2 when we went to bristol way easily enough and he was pushing alot more then i was BHP wise.

I think 206 is near the mark and 240 torque i was chuffed with TBH, on the road in the real world its a very fast car, i think where it beats most cars is in its nice progressive delivery of the power, like the new honda VTEC me mate has, i beat him all the time in str8 runs, so the map from Impossible is good in that respect, also i dont think my car is anywhere near mapped to breaking point and thats good to know.

I have a Supra in my workshop and that car is the stupid power sunday car or will be when its finished, my MK1 is an everyday driver and PROVEN to be very rapid at it.

the only bad thing is I have to amend my BHP figure now, im thinking about some more mods to my VRS like a new manifold/FMIC/IHI but its a juggaling between the octy and the supra, I dont want to ruin the Octy making it silly powerful YET lol.

Nice to see everyone.

Ender did your abs light go out in the end m8

[VRStu]

They normally go out as you drive off and the system sees all the wheels moving in the right direction and speed.

[devonutopia]

Mine went out in the end, but it took 2 drives and a period of standing still before they finally did. I was getting worried they'd need a vagcom reset but thankfully they didn't.

[Makefish]

Mine went out but it still threw two fault codes, one unrelated but one was with regard to the ABS!

Unrelated one was Low Fuel Pressure ..................AGAIN!!!
