I've got my set up due soon on the RR (can you tell I'm looking forward to it? wink )

i was wondering what other peoples' cars were running so I know what to expect. I gather TVR's figures are a little optimistic!

BHP, torque and spec if possible?

Cheers

Tripps, what had you done to your car. Austec chip? This is a result I'd be extremely happy with!

I was going to have it done (after Podie's write-up) but after seeing these results was happy enough, so saved myself the £s for the Cerb instead smile

Never digged deep enough to find out what had been done, there nothing in the extensive history, so it was just a good engine (I seem to be lucky like that) or it was tuned early on it's it's life.

Harry what format are they ?
Are they paper or electronic?
If they are paper based take a photo of them and use photobucket!

Had my S on the roling road this morning.
Nothing had to be adjusted, except the timing. That was slightly off.
Before timing adjustments readings where:

163,5Hp @ 5314rpm and torque 284Nm @ 2239rpm (=209,44 lb/ft)

and after:

170,4Hp @ 5428rpm and torque 292Nm @ 2496rpm (=215,34 lp/ft)

I'm content with the output! (I wonder what chip and remap can do, but I won't do that now)

Cheers

Olav

You could convert your pdf files to jpg then upload them.

At the risk of opening a Mac vs Windows argument, this is a doddle on a Mac using 'Preview'. I'm not sure how you would do it on a Windows PC, though. Is there an option to 'Save As' in Adobe Acrobat, then select the appropriate format i.e. jpg?

Sorry I can't offer much more help mate, it's ages since I've used a Microsoft machine... moan

Harry chuck them over to me and I'll convert them into something more web friendly.

Will PM you now.

Those aren't too far off mine and as I recall almost spot on the factory numbers.

I get the feeling the that the factory fibs might have started at the customised RV8s and own-brew engines...

Thanks to the Austec Dastek chip, i'm running 170Hp & 224lb/ft of torque

Raced at the drag strip yesterday and held my own against a V8S, i got away better but he came back at me from about 60mph.

I went to "speedcentre" geldermalsen. It was euro 125 ex btw. That buy's one hour of tweaking. Every next hour is 100 euro I understood. If I remember correctly we had about 4 readings including a speedometer check. Since there was nothing much to do it all took about one hour. And we talked a lot :-)
I would almost say; unfortunately there was nothing much to do. I did't enjoy much improvement and I do not have a right impression about speedcentre's ability with dealing with our type of engine.
What pleased me though was that the whole thing proved that the car was set up right by me :-) :-)

I've just had a word with Graham (Harry1972M) offline - he's asked me to post these charts of his S3 on the rollers:
