Went to get the car dyno'd again today following a new remap and a downpipe for the exhaust. Here's the results -
For some reason the computer doesn't always give the peak power figure as shown on the graph. On this occasion the peak power was 231bhp not 228 but who's arguing over 3bhp?
Also for those that are interested my car showed 186bhp last time before the downpipe went on. I know this is a different day etc but I think it shows that the difference is negligible.
So what's next? Well if I get an uprated clutch I could put bigger nitrous injectors in there. Or go down the bigger turbo/cams route and use nitrous occasionally. Maybe I should save up for a house? Who knows, we'll see next year.
"wasn't too bad.." !! crikey, that's mad... Get a house next matey... then you'll have somewhere to store the haldex bits til you get them put on [] [/hint!]
I know, the sensible part of the brain says house, the rest doesn't! As for Haldex, not an option really as the floor pan is so different, not worth the money.
Wow, very impressive figures Nik, your car must have some shove with all that torque, bet you've surprised quite a few people who thought ?its just a diesel?!

It's ok, I've got an angle grinder [] we can do it on the cheap! lol
Lol, does it really make that much difference and why?
Oh yes! It's almost like doubling the grip you currently have. With an LSD it will distribute most of the torque to the wheel with the most grip at the point traction starts to break, rather than just spinning one side like your car will currently do. Is well worth it and makes driving through the twisties much better, with lots more grip to accelerate out of corners with. Get one, you wont regret it!
345 lb ft torque on the OEM clutch [!]. Still no clutch slip [?].
Impressive figures Nik. I can't imagine the pull of your car with nitrous on, it must be quite frightening to the uninitiated [!]
As much as i love your car, I would have to ask, between a house & car, which will most likely make you money and which will loose it.
As much as i would suggest going the house route, I am sure i am not the only one who would be only to happy to read about your next performance upgrade.
