Forum Rolling Road day @ Superchips 6th June 2009
joesgti:
my car is running an S3 cooler over chris's car and his produced 30+ bhp over mine? :confused:
im very confused now..........
joesgti:
what does
higher correction...
lower correction.... mean?? :confused:
Superchips:
The correction is the difference between engine power and the corrected power as shown on the Maha printout in the left column.
in an ideal world we would have fans strong enough to keep the inlet temp at ambient, this would minimise the difference to the corrected figure.

LOL, now I'm getting worried!!

Nothing to worry about Chris - we'll get some road based data logging done to check you out next week if you like.

Something is really a miss here?. All Gti's and Ed30's gave what we all agree on between 10-15% higher then what we ALL thought to be realistic.
My querry has always been, that intake temps have been taken from inside the car, which may tend to affect the TFSI/TSI engine calculations.
The R32's read accurate, so my question is, why is it that these rollers acurately calculated the four wheel drive cars and diesels better then ALL the 4 pot petrols.
This thing about TFSI engines producing more then Factory tested horsepower is Unfounded and that VAG cannot sell these Main stream Production cars with Horsepower outputs being higher then what VW actually quote.These engines are not Hand built to give the theory of some of these engines produce more then standard quoted from the Manufacturer.
As has been said of rollers read different all over the world, well that is true as each rollers are calibrated differently and calculations of flywheel as this case is proven as we saw on saturday.
IMO, Seems to be how it calculates the actual bhp thats questionable as like ive mentioned, the diesels and the V6 4wd cars read correct , but ALL 2.0TFSI's were all above and in a couple of cases all over the place.( DomT and Hurdys)as an example.
Any using the method of taking the intake temps from inside the car , surely thats not the best way to then be able to calculate the bhp of the car??
Perhaps Superchips may be able to say why its best to do it that way and not from elsewhere?, and maybe to clear the reason why everyones intake temps were different, and was that due to the heating being left on inside the footwell :confused:
Thanks again superchips for coming on and trying to explain.
As agreed , was good that all readings were at simular levels and thats good in showing consistancy, but perhaps its how the rollers calculate the readings to convert that to hp on the TFSI/TSI units??
Has there been like a Ford focus RR day, did any of those cars bring up 222bhp or near as??? or any other Hot hatch's
Confused :confused:
