Big thanks to Dave & Graham of DG Autotech for organising it :clap: she got a healthy 182BHP @ the flywheel, 165BHP @ the wheels and max torque 223.40 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 25, 2009 Was nice to see your VR yesterday mate (I was getting my Merc serviced by Graham!) and nice to meet you - should have introduced myself properly. Car looked stunning! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted October 25, 2009 Torque figures sound bloody good to start off with! Will be good to see how it turns out. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted October 25, 2009 That much torque without a Shrek?? Impressive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted October 25, 2009 crikey yeh high torque :shock: good result, no wonder you're pleased with that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted October 25, 2009 Oh thats good to know guys :D was wanting it to read 190bhp but Dave and Graham said it was a very healthy VR :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted October 25, 2009 how come its a standard VR lump yet better torque than BHP figures :cuckoo: any ideas why this is???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted October 25, 2009 Here's the graph :) been lookin at it today again not sure what the 205.94 in the top right is?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted October 25, 2009 They took an arbitary (probably your peak power) point and showed all the values at that point, i.e. wheel power, torque, flywheel power, AFR etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted October 25, 2009 sorry mate i dont follow, you talking about the 205.94 figure?? is that BHP or torque? whats your personal opinon of those figures Tom? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 25, 2009 Not sure what you lot are on about - the toque figure is low - surely should be more like 250Nm peak on a VR, remember it's Nm we're talking not Ft lbs! Curves look good and according to the AFR it goes a bit lean from 4.5k which I think is fairly normal... BHP is a bit low too but maybe its just that RR - I wouldn't worry too much and compare the results next time with other Corrado's at a RR day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted October 25, 2009 Not sure what you lot are on about - the toque figure is low - surely should be more like 250Nm peak on a VR, remember it's Nm we're talking not Ft lbs! dead on, units weren't quoted in the original post :salute: max torque 223.40 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted October 25, 2009 cheers supercharged, your right it works out at 164lb-ft which is 17lb-ft lower which is a fair amount isnt it? :( what could cause that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
