Power run results :(

[Dan1971]

Not too sure by the photo of the engine, but, if that's a V6 - with those mods, I reckon the power you have is the mods compensating for a duff vis motor or 2.

So really - I reckon - you have decent power. Check the operation of the vis motors and you'll find 15-20 bhp if they are not working.

Now - I'm no guru - just a thought.

Theres no engine light on and nothing comes up when on diagnostic but the decat has only been on for roughly 300miles so i imagine the mil will light up soon

matt reidy 07709453760 / 0845 301 1517 is the specialist.

if its std mani's and a decat, the mil may not ever come on.

i thought this but if i had a duff vis would i not have a noticeable dip on the graph??

Erm, I know its early n all - but isnt the yellow line showing its running rich, if anything?

I have no idea mate lol, im just going on what the pro told me. But he did say if it got hot enough and was at full throttle (i.e track day) then it would go bang

I don't think it would show a dip - it just wouldn't show the spike as it should when they kick in hence your very straight linear result.

It could be fueling wrong because it's providing fuel for the extra power that the working vis would give, but as it's not working, it's all wrong.

Just a thought mind you.

I have done a few runs with working and fubarred motors. When it was fubarred in my Mk1 I recorded about 149bhp and was running rich. In my Mk2 that I have now, I recorded about 184 with them both working well and all I've got mod wise is a piper cat back.

Graphs are on here somewhere.

Well just been out in the car this morning and the engine light has illuminated po420 which has come up as cat...didnt take long for the car to realise it is decatted lol....has any got a link to a mil kit?

Seller's a member here too.

Mate - for a fiver - join the site as a member which will give access to a vis tester.

It's proberbly come on as a result of the power run, if you have a code clearer it will come on every once in a while, only takes 5 seconds to clear.
