What did you do to your car today?

[goosie208]

race rom mapped by Bob Rawle , twin maps , pulls harder than i imagined , 353 bhp and 403 torques from bobs software that estimates power based on weight of the car and a whole load of other stuff that he explained and i have forgotten , he's emailing the graph to me when he gets time , couldnt speak highly enough of him .

wow Tommy thats a great number for the books! 2.5 give great torque!!

a proper nice bloke isnt he

good day on all accounts

anyone know what the RB320 pulled

 

[tommy 555]

i am so happy with it Goosie as i was expecting 330-340 bhp , in an ideal world the aim was for 350/350 but 350/400 blew all expectations ,

 

[goosie208]

your torque peaks a good 14/1500 rpm less than mine, mental driving potential

just dont rev here too high now

no need to rev her hard , feels all low down in the range

 

[goosie208]

exactly two very different engines

think i would prefer yours

 

[tommy 555]

yeah but yours doesn't have the ringland and head gasket issues associated with the 2.5 , cant win every way

The thing is it might not do those figures on an actual dyno

 

[goosie208]

but who's to say the dyno you put it on is accurate, they vary so much its six of one and half a dozen of the other, one could read under and another one over bobs amount

 

[tommy 555]

that is a fact , kinda eager to do a run and see , looking forward to rolling road day ,

or i can bring it local and they will give me a graph for what i say is in it ,

sti Brian will love that remark

 

[goosie208]

even if i did put mine on a roller its a know fact that rollers HATE autoboxes and it wouldn't read right and i would come out with a print out waaaaay bellow its real output

ill just have to accept bobs graph as 100% concrete fact

Why would an auto read different to a manual on the rollers?

Something to do with the torque converter I'm guessing , I think couture are the only ones that do autos if I remeber correctly

@ tommy wonder who would do that for ya :falldownlaugh:

yeah i think thats what i have been told actually, from all the RR threads i have seen autos always come off with suicidal results

 

[Rob Spec C]

Does that mean the wheel horsepower will be accurate, it just can't estimate the engine power due to the torque converter?

amazing how everyone knows about them

went for a blast :changinggear: and took a few photos before it goes up on donedeal
