Just had a power run
Hi guys, I just had a power run done on my 180, it made 182bhp but only 152bhp at the wheels, was wondering if the transmission loss sounds about right and what mods can I do to get more bhp to the wheels?? cheers
|
Sounds good, all too technical for me, but you lose a lot through the gearbox and drive train.
|
Seems about right, rollers do vary though. What mods have you done already?
|
Allowing for about 17% transmission loss your numbers are about right.
|
That was the number I was going to put, Pete.
|
It seems to work as a good ball park figure Peter.
|
There's not much you can do to make more bhp at the wheels without making more at the fly, decent induction and a decat would be a good start without breaking the bank, although if you're making 182 I'm assuming that some work has been done already.
|
The only mods I have are a cat back exhaust and a viper pipercross induction kit, oh yeah and some magnecor ht leads (although cant see them making much difference) They did say to me that if I relocated my induction filter away from the rad I should be nearer to 190bhp, at the moment im suffering abit from heat soak, I was thinking of a remap but the guy reckons a lightened flywheel and a diff (couldn't remember what diff he said) is money better spent???
|
A lightened flywheel and torsen diff are good mods which will allow you to make the most of the power you have.
|
If the cone or filter is exposed then either enclose it or move it away from the engine bay heat. A well positioned cold air feed will be beneficial too.
The flywheel and diff mod won't add any power but will make for a more fun experience ;) A remap is very much a mixed bag, I found it to be worthwhile and have never regretted it. You'll see improved afr and around 8-10 bhp on top of the breathing mods and decat. |
