Volvo 850R 2.3L 5cyl turbo FTW!
That thing sounded awesome.

bourbon · 20-03-2010, 07:34 PM

Last year and this year the few tanks before hand are shell v power. But i normally fill up with bp ultimate if i get a chance.

does mat have a new clutch in his car? u could be loosing a bit of power there marc.

marcs_sp20 · 20-03-2010, 09:12 PM

that shouldnt matter at all, as its in one gear for the shootout

bourbon · 20-03-2010, 10:21 PM

Marcs is lower because of the larger & heavier wheels and also i think the place forthe intake is tooo close to the headlight.

marcs_sp20 · 21-03-2010, 12:59 AM

wheels shouldnt have mattered as i ran them last year, and from what I have felt from driving the car is that the intake being soo close to the headlight has not hindered performance in city or highway driving at all... Yes I know thats different to what the readout figure is, but the graph is a lot smoother and afr not as rich as last years...

bourbon · 21-03-2010, 08:59 AM

I thought you didnt run with the cx7 wheels on the dyno, i thought you changed em the week after or somethin

marcs_sp20 · 21-03-2010, 09:06 AM

nah man, i got the cx7 rims in march last year, and we held the dyno day in May

phildough · 21-03-2010, 09:27 AM

I would love to know how i managed to loose over 12kw in a year.

project.r.racing · 21-03-2010, 09:40 AM

Has Rick had the dyno calibrated in the past 9 months? Maybe last years figues were incorrectly high.

phildough · 21-03-2010, 10:27 AM

A few cars were up on last years figures(eg madmat) so i dont think it was the dyno. I have run my car many many time and the yesterday the figures were massively down on my car.
possibly the very humid part of the morning after that awesome pulsar pulled off its 200kw run may have affected a few cars performance.
It felt hot and stuffy and a bit harder to breath in the workshop for a while so I wouldn't be surprised if that affected my car and Marcs.
But I will be taking my car back real soon for a full service[new plugs, clean air filter and remove the exhaust restrictor etc] and re running my car. If its still down it is FS-ZE time. If any one else is interested in re testing their car one saturday after performing a few mods let me know and I will see if I can arrange it.

Well after yesterdays dismal performance by my car and after talking to Rick I have decided that my car must need some attention.
He said to me that he will have a look at it and chuck it back on the dyno for me .
So after reading your coments im thiking of booking him and his workshop one Sat morning for him to chuck our cars up on the hoist have a good look over them, see what can be done to our cars and then re test them.
Is any one else interested in this idea?

Otherwise I will just arrange a mini dyno day for us.
