Rico 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Was just looking through the pile of receipts that I got with the car and found this... Now if I'm not mistaken, that reads 165bhp!!! This car should only be 136bhp standard as it's a 1.8 valver, so where is all this extra power coming from?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Impressive results for a valver, are you sure it's for the same car/engine? :lol: seriously though it's a G60 in disguise, good one! Now go sell it and get loads of money and buy a VR :wink: Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted June 22, 2006 i think its actually 156bhp and you can achieve this with just a tune up at stealth for instance by advancing timing and tweaking the wur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Its defo for this car, the chart has the reg no etc at the top of the page. 8) Would cams and a "chip" make these sort of figures? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted June 22, 2006 It's the dyno fudge factor. You're "losing" 48 bhp to "drag".. How accurate this figure is will translate *directly* to improvements in the headline bhp figure. About the only figure that you can rely upon there is the 108 bhp at the wheels, which is pretty healthy for a 1.8 16v. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted June 22, 2006 its a 1.8 16v.......so it won't have a chip btw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
