If the car isnt strapped down properly it would produce higher results. explanation here:

Not sure on the whole gearing issue though.

If it makes 300 or whatever horsepower it will do independant of the gear used. At the end of the day it is only a function of torque against RPM.

Power (bhp) = (Torque lbft x RPM)/5252

So 350

CupraK1 really needs to fit a pump, and im gutted my car is playing up and I couldnt get her on the rollers  :sad1:

Whats happened to CupraK1,s torque?

this is a strange one, car had a lot of errors, cleared them, and went on another dyno dynamics at power engineering 40 mins after this RR day and the car made over 350 but was skipping and launching off the dyno in 4th... as they didnt have enough something or other to strap it down! cant wait to get the damn fuel pump sorted :)
So 350 was an over estimate, don't get hung up on numbers..

you went to another RR straight after :surprised: you really wernt happy with the figures then. If a dyno operator cant strap a car down well enough id take their readings with a pich of salt TBH. if they cant get the basics right, then it'll all be off from there on. Any chance of seeing both dyno sheets

it was another rr day alrady set up and i said i would pop down but when i got there everyone twisted my arm to run...

It got to 330-340 bhp then lifted off the dyno and scared the sh*t out of the operator.. he tried about 10 times as poverty said... but it was too late to get up the torque bar.. they have a sunken into the ground dyno and it apparently needs this..

They didnt give me any graphs as i didnt pay any money.. becuase the results were inconclusive :S

based on the graph curve and their predictions they said it should be a healthy 340 which is fine..

see the bottom line.. im wayne lol

The silver Edition 30 was my mate Marks. Running same map and bolt ons as me, but his MAF is faulty and only made 280 on the rollers. He was behind me when we were having a bit of fun with Wayne î„…

And yes, great roads. Your Cupra was so much better on the brakes, for obvious reasons.
