Where is the best place to go to get an honest and true power output for your car

or work it out for yourself @ http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp

Good luck! Pretty accurate figures from this though!

i think you missed the point mate!

I'm sure that all RR operators believe the results they generate are honest. However if they aren't experienced with VAG 1.8T's or their equipment is out of calibration/not suitable for high torque fwd cars then their results might be a little pointless.

Fair point - could try this place - fortunate for me, it's just literally around the corner... little further for you!

Awesome seem to be a good recommended choice dont they???

No as they cant calculate flywheel figures.

JBS and jabba's new set of rollers are definitely the best for testing our cars!

I wouldn`t go to either of them if you want a "true" figure if there is such a thing. Personally i would go to TDI Powertuning. You just cannot beat a hub dyno.

yeah but not saying jabba would do this but there are companies out there that would make their chip/remap look better than others so as Revo what would the best place be

So you're saying if you rocked up to a RR with REVO but the operator was a distributor for another map, he'd deliberatly give you a low result then try and sell you his map?

I've heard people complain about low/high results and inexperienced operators but never anyone deliberately giving low results. I have heard of deliberatly high results by braking on the coast-down to bump up the transmission losses to give a higher reading from the flywheel...

I'm not sure there is such a thing.

Too many variables from weather conditions, ability of the operator, the equipment itself etc etc

Try going to an SCN rolling road day, go for the craic and to see some nice cars and meet nice people.............Keep the printout as a souvineer

you get a figure which does'nt relate to anyones then..

power at the hub...

lol

not knocking the kit as I like em myself, but its yet another "different" figure.

Bill, I can't believe you didn't take the opportunity to say "Dyno Lottery© "

If you're looking at modding a car - which it looks like you are, then best thing to do is take it to a decent RR when standard and every mod you make, get it retested at the same place. It's the only way to be sure of know what differences mods are mkaing to power/torque.

If you want just a good RR specialist I'd recommend SCA in Norwich (JFGI). The main guy there, Steve I think, has his own 450Bhp S13 200sx and has it on the rollers everyday. So he really knows his stuff about the finer elements...

STAR PERFORMANCE, jim curly is a man who knows his way around any vag engine, especially the 20v turbo, doesn't try to rip you off either.

 

[bentaw]

ok perhaps i should narrow it down where in the south of england will be a good place to get rr results
