Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral Review: 28th january 2006 Peco Rolling Road Day.

yeah but acceleration is down to torque and drivers reactions, gear changes etc etc could affect a race side by side.

180 bhp at the fly id say isnt that impossible from a 2L engine. and itd be more noticable in yours than say an astra with yours being lighter

torque is acceleration,however,jap cars can stay in each gear forever and a day as they rev to 8 or 9k lol.So a torquey car can pull hard but will have to change gear more often than a 200BHP 1.8

I SUSPECT THEY ARE JEALOUS OR GUTTED.

You always get people like this i put my rrd figs on the E30 zones when i had the bm (and it was down 6bhp) and got nothing but rubbish.

Sod them all.


Looked like a good day was going to try and see if there was any space but after i had sorted the tyres and got down there (for all of 5mins) i wouldnt have had time as i needed to be at footy.

Would of liked to see how my car did because its faster then i thought.

I tried catching your car up in my mondeo and got wasted by it its Fast and if people on other sites dont belive you SOD EM.

I take it you have a 2.0 16v engine? If so then I know that 180bhp is EASILY possible with what you have. I saw an article quite a few years ago about the 16v engine, saying that they produced 157bhp straight out the factory but produce more bhp when the engine's loosend up after about 65,000 miles. Until the engine's hit 65,000 miles it's not classed as being fully run in. Providing your cams have been set up correctly with the power boost valve, then I don't see why it wouldn't make 180+bhp. Also when the manufacturer claims 157bhp this will have been achieved on normal unleaded petrol and not Super Unleaded or Optimax.

is chris o the one with a fiat bravo?

chris o is the one with the 5 cylinder Bravo..

Red20 Trust me the rolling road is spot on.
Its regulary calibrated an no one has ever questioned the results.
If they seen the technology that's attached to Peco's 1000bhp Dyno Jet Rolling Road
i doubt they would question any part of it.
Dont forget dave the technician?
He has been doing rolling roads for years and years, and before he joined peco.
He know's if somethings not right

He diagnosed a problem with steds car just by looking at the graph as it died before it peaked.

Between Dave and the Rollers and the computer,
there is no chance of a miss reading in my opinon.


As we said on the day,
if you sorted your tappets out it would have got higher.

I guess they just cant believe it can be done.

I will host more pics with graphs in the morning,
i'm wiped out...

But it was an excellent day and anyone that
missed it did miss it.

Ask anyone who was there.

Personally i would simply say they were Jeaulous mate about your 180 BHP Corsa......

Its only a 20% increase over standard figures, its not impossible by any means.

I would stand proud mate and take the reading as gospel. When people are talking about racing each other then that is a different thing all together. The weight of your car comes into effect. Example : My MK1 Escort Cozzy only weighed 800kgs but was pushing 280 BHP but say a Lexus GS430 Sport weighs 2500kgs but has 400 BHP then who will win a race ?? The lexus has allot more BHP but it weighs 3 times what the escort does so the escort would waste it big time although the escort has 120 BHP less than the Lexus.

Power to weight Ratio's :

Escort : 350 BHP Per Ton

Lexus : 160 BHP Per ton

This shows the escort would be nearly twice as fast as the lexus but dosnt have as much power....

All in all it was a top top day with Bigcoz Ford Lightening stealing the show
