Well at the weekend i finally decided to get a dyno section to find out what my car was running, was a bit of trouble to start with as for some reason the traction control wouldnt let the car do over 80mph. Anyways we got there in the end after getting the vagcom out.

Ill get a pic of the graph and such tomo, the tester said the car was running as it should and was very smooth.

The results were 217.3 bhp and 219 torques.

Heres some pics.

Thats a good result. Maybe torque is slightly less than in other stage 1 Leon cupras.

Have you checked your boost hoses?

But it may all down to good old dyno lottery

Looking good Ken. Revivals RR I see; my torque was a little down on their rollers too..

Thanks Dan, what kind of torque should be around?

Thanks Greesha, no not recently.

I'm uncertain about CC stage 1 map but me and Mylo are getting around 240lb/ft from P-torque map.

I recommend to check those pipes under inlet manifold for leaks and to check under inlet manifold for oil and greasy deposits which could mean that there is a leak somewhere.

Reason why i ask about boost leaks is because on last AMD rolling day i made around 225 HP and 220lb/ft. Car felt weaker than usual and i knew something is wrong. It turned out to be leak under inlet mani. Now all sorted and LC is reborn again ^^

thank you mate, how did you fix your problem?

 

[DannyC87]

as greesha says; your mods should see 230-240lbft of torque. Personally I'd give a different dyno a go before worrying though. If it drives well, the figures don't matter all that much anyway!

 

[Nef]

Thanks dan, yeah iv never had a problem with the way it drives, surely i would see something wierd in the graph if i had a boost leak, the tester said it was running ok aswell.

Sounds to me like a case of dyno lottery tbh!

 

[Nef]

Yeah i hope thats the case mate

 

[Nef]

finally took some new pics of the car on the way home from inters today. Not muched changed really. lol

thanks alot bud.

Looked through your thread earlier, loving yours aswell and your plans.

 

[Nef]

Haven't really made any updates for a while as iv kind of been more interested in saving money than spending it, anyways bought a tow strap quite a while ago but never got around to fitting it, until last night a made a little bracket out of the current towing eye.

i know it may not be to some people tastes but personally i think it looks kind of cool.

Opinions welcome, personally im quite please with the outcome.

 

[Nef]

Just a few more pics.
