Glad you all enjoyed, was a quality day. 40 cars run total, which included the smoke machine that was mine, which is running lean as hell and burning oil. Logs looked good tho. lol.

What power did you on westecs rollers today then Mike?

Got the power turned down a bit at the moment to try and make sure the clutch stays in on piece before i get a stronger one sorted. Thats my excuse anyway and i am sticking to it. :D
293.39 @ 4083rpm and 421.2 lb torque. I was exspection about 300ishbhp and 410ish lb torque so if ran on Interpro`s dyno so happy enough with the Dastek/Westec result. Only went really to see what sort of graph got plotted compared to Interpro`s graph. There is a special way to dyno my car so mit doesn`t over rev at the end which i forgot to tell whoever was sat in my car so that wasn`t their fault. I don`t understand why my graph only goes up to 4500rpm though since it had the nuts reved off it, way past 6k anyway. They cannot say that it was loosing power because at 4000rpm it had 291bhp and at 4500rpm it was 290bhp :confused: .

thats probably when Grant over revved it, but cos he has to put the clutch in, the power probably dropped loads, so at the end when he goes on the computer he edits what the graph displays and must have chosen not to show it past 4500rpm because it weren't relevant. i actually thought they had a rev limiter set at 5000-5500rpm

its mad when you watch the computer zooming in on the plot, it goes down into like single figures

My car revs and makes 300 bhp up to 6k constantly at Interpro. I don`t think Westec know the difference between a 1.9 which dies after 5K and my 2.0 which keeps going right up to the 6K rev limiter.

Mikey, i heard you had a spot of 'brake testing' when you took phil out for a spin. He was well impressed. :D

Don`t know what you mean there was loads of room? :whistle: He wanted to know how well the car went so i showed him. Who had the blue Audi TT that day? I don`t normally do this but he made it clear he wanted to "compare car acelleration" on the road so we had a play.
