I've a feeling the 5 degree drop in temperature will have alot to do with it. I'm sure a read somewhere that each degree is worth something like 2bhp?

Nice results though, well done!

modern rollers are supposed to factor temps in to the results, so it shouldn't affect the numbers.

It doesn't say wheel horse power. This Dyno is constantly used an updated on Facebook. Seems to be pretty realible on factory figures so can't be to far off and the power it pulled seems to be around correct.

That's a really nice build, just one q though... That sump looks a touch exposed are you going to fit a guard?

Very nicely executed project-love it!

Does it make much difference to how the car handles?

Not going to bother with a sump guard as its only the same height as the cars floor and It clears speed bumps fine.

Handles a lot better now than with the T16 much lighter on the front. There's a small amount of torque steer, but not to much. Just a fun amount in the wet
