Eat this 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 MY CAR HAS GONE ALL DERANGED I GOT A POWER RUN DONE AND THE RESULTS WERE ERM SUPRISING PEAK TORQUE IS AT 3300 RPM AS I WAS EXPECTING DUE TO THE SCHRICK BUT I WASNT EXPECTING 235LB FT !amazed !amazed WITH A HEATSOAKED ENGINE THATS HAD 2 HOURS DRIVING BEFORE GOING STRAIGHT ON THE ROLLERS thats up from 187 lb ft before the schrick and power chip thats the nice suprise now for the disapointing figure of 188 bhp down from 198 i know this is due to the torque dropping off rapidly from about 205lb ft @ 4600 rpm to about 190 lb ft @ 5200 rpm i assume it keeps dropping but strangely the graph stops @ 5200rpm but the bhp graph carries onto 6400 rpm what causes torque drop off is fueling the prime suspect?? im sure the torque didnt drop off until 5500 at the october rr day hence bigger bhpps im still stunned at the torque figure [ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 could it be to do with the off the shelf chip you're using? Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 possibly justin the chip deffo smoothed out the drop when the schrick switches il speak to collins about it see what they sayps ingham has the same chip and his figures seem good at rr day[ Edited Thu Feb 03 2005, 04:06PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 hmmm... no offence but Inghams figures were one of the lowest... in fact everyone below him had a problem of some kind!! certainly Id expect more than 183bhp from a chipped carMy point is Inghams car doesnt have a schrich manifold, yours does yet with that chip you're both using the same map!

Eat this 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 u have a very good point about the map it is odd how it drops off sooo much earlier now ps does 235 lb ft sound high to u? Link to post Share on other sites
ingham 5 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 hmmm... no offence but Inghams figures were one of the lowest... in fact everyone below him had a problem of some kind!! certainly Id expect more than 183bhp from a chipped carmy i poiint out that my car runs stanard air box and was very hot when it when on rollers plus my map is not same as eat this cos i had it changed for lower grade fueli am happy with results plus car has lots of turque low downwhen the car was first chipped it was alot faster but was pinking on the fuel i was using Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 jason can u get a pic of ur torque graph up some time? Link to post Share on other sites
ingham 5 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 power is nothing without torqueif the torque is correct fueling can not be far outremeber that rr differ from place to place and how they are used what did the operator say about results he should have checked fueling Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression that the chips you were using were off the shelf ones as opposed to ones specifically mapped for the car... If there is a problem with fueling on eat this' car the fact it hasnt been mapped specifically for the mods would seem to me to be a possible culprit Link to post Share on other sites

ingham 5 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 i dont see that just cos its got a more balanced manifold that the map should be that differant all the chip is doing is taking out flat spots that vw put in for mpg and emissons Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 how does it do it ignition timing or fuellin or both??? il ring collins in the mornin and talk to them ps i left my old torque sheet in mikanichs doh hehe Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 there is alot of work that went on with my map around the switch over point. There should be a noticable difference when the flap does switch, it's not normally a gradual thing... Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 there is pete im not talkin about that m8 its higher up the rev range it just dies it doesnt feel slow when drivin though another odd thing is the torque sheet stops at 5200 rpm its all a bit wierd tbh im chuffed to buggery with the peak torque figure though hehe Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 iv been for a drive today and come to the conclusion the graph is WRONG no way does the torque drop after 4500 rpm if anything it pulls harder in which case it put out around 215 bhp with a huge surge of midrange torque Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 only took mine mikanics once.... seemed a bit of a micky mouse roller setup he has.... I'd be tempted to go some where else first Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 in which case it put out around 215 bhphow did you arrive at that figure?? Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 bhp = torque x revs / 5200 roughlyi took the torque drop off point from rr day and used a conservativetorque figure from the recent power run so 205 lb ft x 5500 / 5200 = 216.?i the torque ctually rises to around 210 by 4500 Link to post Share on other sites
