[Mk2] [Turbo] BHP of a Rev1 ?

[simonmr2]

Can anyone tell me what the standard BHP of a rev1 turbo should be ??

[cantfindausername]

About 220 out the box, but seeing as you'll have about 15+ years of hoonary under the belt it will probs be closer to 180-190. If its completely stock that is.

[simonmr2]

Cheers for that, but is that at the wheels or flywheel ??

[cantfindausername]

Fly

[simonmr2]

Ok, thanks mate, by the way how you getting about getting your car back ??

[cantfindausername]

No worries. Hopefully your figures will be up oon my estimates, but expect to be down on "new" figures at least.

My car is a joke at the moment. Don't even feel like it exists. Guy wont answer my calls or txts, wont call me back, and I only just found out that they've moved workshop by visiting their website and seeing "the news". No address as yet so I don't actually know where my car is right now. I'm not in the best of moods as you can imagine.

[simonmr2]

NO WAY !!!!! I would be a little worried if they moved with my car and didn't let me know or pass a forwarding address, are you sure they still have your car ??

[cantfindausername]

For all I know it could be anywhere. I'm calling today, and if no answer I'll be questioning the guy who recommended him to me. I'm giving serious consideration to popping up there on Monday, but not having an address could see me driving round Lincoln looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hope you get your car back dude.
SimonMR2, had my n/a on a RR about 2yrs ago. It had lost 1bhp for every yr it had been about ....not bad I think. See no reason a tubby should be any different but be interested to hear your figures.

PS My n/a had apparently GAINED 5 lb/ft of torque!

I brought the car thinking that it had 280-290bhp, been having some problems with it lately and its in the garage now being looked at, went on the rollers yesterday and it only pulled 204bhp !!! I know the the blitz dump valve is playing up so this needs changing and i needs some tunning as its not running rite but i didn't think that it would drop this much, they took the bleed valve off and run it again and this was 160bhp !!!! (W.T.F) I just faxed over to them the power charts that came with the car from last year when it went on the rollers at power engineering and it was 256bhp & 247 torque, so not to sure what they are going to come up with today ??

[cantfindausername]

[cantfindausername]
