For anyone interested and not following my cars build thread I thought I'd share my results from today...

It made 240.1bhp with 321.2ft/lb which I'm really happy with. I do still think that the torque reading is low though, when we had Briskoda's rolling road day all the diesels were making low torque (mine made only slightly more than standard) but overall I'm happy. I had a little play with a TDI Cupra that made 243bhp and 332ft/lb and I think I was slightly pulling on him so really can't complain with how the car drives etc...

Here's a YouTube video of the run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IizyjwLgB0Y

Performance mods:

Turbo Dynamics Stage 2 Hybrid PD150 (MD376)

Milltek (Turbo Back) Exhaust System

PD160 Air Intake

Pipercross Panel Filter

Seat Sport Front Mount Intercooler

Helix Organic Clutch

Helix Single Mass Flywheel

Allard EGR Delete

R32 Mass Airflow Sensor

Richard Washbrook Remap

But yeah just thought I'd show you the graph/run as I'm chuffed with the figures.

Is this road intended? You'd be lucky to get that thing through an MOT test.... Also it looked like the turbo burnt some oil mid-point? Last question - Can it put the power down?

He sailed through an MOT a month or so ago....

After being taken for a spin yesterday, I can confirm that this car definitely shifts

I'm sure mine has more torque than that. Some what closer to 400 ft lbs and 240 bhp

It all depends where the torque is being made. If you are making peak torque at 2500, then its probably the same as this car, as torque is a function of BHP/revs. The more revs peak torque is achieved at, the lower the figure will appear. This is why my car is at 275bhp, but torque is around 370/380 lb @ 3500 revs ish.

Car looks like it's running well then, just need to get the brembo's on and you can start enjoying it a bit more!

Thanks for that, has puzzled me with my car a little, glad it's normal

(no thanks button damn)

/\ exactly, alot of places manipulate the figure by spiking boost earlier in the rpm range to achieve a higher torque figure,

I wonder what power the mouse in the bottom left at 6-7 seconds in to the video made?

poor thing looked like it got caught up in all the smoke too

I think the mouse went 0-60 in 1 second flat

lol wondered wtf you were talking about untill i just watched the vid

Someone pointed out the mouse yesterday, I couldn't stop laughing lol...

it was highly amusing

nice mouse

as torque is a function of BHP/revs.

The above is incorrect.... bhp is calculated using the following, bhp = rpm x torque, divided by 5252.

If you know what the bhp is you can transpose the formula, to torque = (5252 x bhp), divided by rpm.

Why?

As already said on your build thread lovely car, mass of time money and effort spent in a fairly short time

Have been watching your main build thread and I must say I love what you've done to it. Would love to have the money to get mine up to where you have yours.

Will continue to watch your build thread with interest. Hopefully you've got a few more bits & pieces you want to do to it
