tbourner Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 1.2 bar I would say more like 400bhp or over. Mine's almost exactly 400bhp at 1.15bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADD Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 once ive fitted the fmic i think i'l do that, surprised with the 400 figure, but about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Only way to be sure is to get it on a rolling road. I took mine the other week, with similar mods to yours 1.2 bar Nur Spec Walbro TRL FCD IK24s Front De cat I came out at about 366 at the wheels. but then it all depends how well your car is running. Another member who should have crucified me got a really bad figure just because his car wasn't running well. (I hasten to add it is now running sweetly and he got a very impressive figure on a recent run) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Apparently you can claim any figure you like if you say "at the flywheel" after the number you've made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Apparently you can claim any figure you like if you say "at the flywheel" after the number you've made up. lets try that.....iv got 1700 BHP at the flywheel....cool, it works i dint even have to spend a penny on mods :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 That's nowt. I got 2000 and you know my wheels be fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sounds accurate, and it's not over the top (compared to claims by some scoobies, vauxhalls, saxos etc) He will be impressed and nobody can prove otherwise. Any RR figure is subject to a lot of correction factors, just be generous with yours. There is bhp inflation lately, so you need to be on top. 1/4 mile figures, now that's harder to fudge;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 That's nowt. I got 2000 and you know my wheels be fly. I bet that would produce some phenomenal 60ft times if you had AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Isn't 1.2 bar right at the edge of where u should run stock jspec tubbies? just curious as I'm headed in that direction. Is it possible to be boosting to 1.0 bar with the front cat still in or is my gauge reading high? No boost controller or restrictor ring.

carl0s Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'd guestimate 380 - 400 at the flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan4 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 would the figure's be any different if this car was a uk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flat4_ire Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 would the figure's be any different if this car was a uk? no probably not seeing as the tubbies or injectors arent standard, so it would be the same if a uk spec went single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Isn't 1.2 bar right at the edge of where u should run stock jspec tubbies? just curious as I'm headed in that direction. Is it possible to be boosting to 1.0 bar with the front cat still in or is my gauge reading high? No boost controller or restrictor ring. unusual but not impossible to run 1 bar with only one cat in especially in the cold weather. i believe from advice i've had from others on this forum 1.2 bar is the general safety limit but have also heard some people going to 1.3+. It all depends on what condition your tubbies are in. Another major thing to bare in mind is whether your car has the correct fueling etc to cope with the extra boost, as theres no point otherwise. someone explained it to me like this....if you burn the candle at both ends it will burn out quicker but to what extent knowbody knows.

Ok dude. Thanks. I think I will strive for 1.05-1.1 bar when bpu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I must admit I wasn't expecting anywhere near that figure, and part of me suspects it's wrong. However I got 4 consistent power runs, so either the road is miles out, or my car is running sweet, with perhaps a few hidden goodies I don't know about. Does this figure sound reasonable to people, or should I get a second opinion at another road. btw, the graph is in my garage. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 different RRs will give different results. Wildly different some times. A cynic might even suspect that there is a competition for the most inflationary 'estimates'. Your figures look less preposterous than those of others with similar spec. Nothing wrong with that.

supra steve Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i know this is an old thread but was wondering how much torque you guys think i should have.to explain,we are holding a rolling road day and for a bit of fun we are going to guess our bhp and torque figures.i want to win:dlol. the last rr day i had 367bhp and 401ft/lb torque,that was bpu running 1 bar of boost and since then all i have done is add a boost controller.was going to run it at 1.2 bar or can anyone tell me if i could go higher?cheers.

SimonT Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Click BPU on your post and it will tell you about the acceptable level of boost on jspecs and Uk's With regards to the torque i dont know 415-420:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
