Found a dyno run for the rado....

Recommended Posts

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??

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:

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

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?

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.

108 at the wheels is about bang on for a standard healthy 1.8 16v, if you take off a more conservative 15-20% loss through the transmission the engine is pretty close to the VW figure of around 130-140bhp although that torque figure looks good for a 1.8.
