Mccorrymark 10 Posted December 7, 2013 So had my vr6 on the rolling road when I first got it was highly impressed that it was sitting at 189bhp after 135k miles since owning it at the start of the summer I have used engine cleaner additive and was at another rolling road day today and it's sitting at 196.6 now it's more or less standard bar an induction kit and stainless steel back box so was wondering is this normal for the raddos to keep this much power with such high miles?

seanl82 23 Posted December 8, 2013 They're all a bit speculative, some are heart breakers, some are very optimistic. Lots of factors to take into account, type of dyno, atmospheric conditions, as well as health of the engines and indidual modifications. I'd suggest 196 on a relatively standard car is pretty optimistic tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

perky15 0 Posted December 8, 2013 all in my name mate just bmc exhaust and stealth remap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mccorrymark 10 Posted December 8, 2013 I've heard that remapping them usually loses a bhp or 2 but adds torque and kills flat spots I think there may be a supper chipped ecu in mine tho not 100% 203 bhp is still some gain on 190 what millage is on it?

You really need to use the same Dyno before and after doing any mods and ideally with the same ambient temp as well. Its only really willy waving figures anyway, as long as the car is running right and fuelling right thats all that matters. For a VR its not worth chasing numbers to be honest. Anywhere around 190bhp is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 9, 2013 Worth adding that mine has Schimmel Performance SP263 cams and a DG Autotech remap.. and actually I think 203BHP isn't a great result given those mods, but I think my engine is getting a little tired! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
