Well thats that problem solved and put to bed.  :grin:
I reckon we should have a dynolicious i-phone, app day somewhere. that would be just as clear.  :evilgrin:

Was yours left running outside before your dyno run Chris?

The comparison between the two GTI's is a good example of what I was saying earlier

Car 1: High intake temp. Low power at wheels as a result. Higher correction applied.

Car 2: Low intake temp. Higher power at wheels. Lower correction applied.

on the road both cars would have significantly lower inlet temps and power would return to the hot car.

In conclusion:

Either someone needs to buy a bigger intercooler :wink: or we need bigger fans.

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.

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:

I personally thought I would have been the highest BHP of the day, simply because of the amount of modifications that have been done on the car AND I have one of the very few truly custom remaps as Custom Code developed the phase 2+ software on my car.

If you take whitegti's and joesgti as an example and refer to the whp, this should be the true representation of the power of the car as it is the direct measurement. Any other measurements are subjective and based on relative calculations of intake temps etc with varying correction factors. This is why the guys in the USA like WHP and not BHP. When I get my graph from Jamie it will be interesting to see if there is a relationship between my results and DomT's in respect of whp as I have an aftermarket cooler like Joe and Dom doesn't (like whitegti).

This happens at almost every RR day I go on and yet everyone loves to pull apart the results and dismiss the results. The day was good, the people brilliant and so in my book the day was an unmittigated success. The results are what they are and only the full readouts can give any insight into underlying differences.

Benchmarking against stock cars isn't a bad idea, but they still don't give a full representation as they can have different fuel etc.

i was only making an example john as your car has shed loads more done modification wise over Dominics.You like me, would of thought you would have more power achieved when the ammount of mods youve done. You should of got the Most on the day.

Im not trying to single anyone out john.In my case, my car as an example does not produce 254bhp!

 :smiley:

The difference in this 3 or 4 pages of discussion and confusion this time is. It is being discussed respectfully and in know way being personnel, which always happens to any of these discussions that i have read and why PG has not posted the results i think.
If it continues like it has so far, then we will be able to carry on and maybe find a couple of answer's.  :drinking:

I think you need to go back and read Jamie's reply again Steve as your statement about the intake temps being taken from inside the car is incorrect.

Quote from: Superchips

Inlet temp is measured by the dyno over obd, we do this to achieve consistency
