Jamil Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Need some opinions! I have a non turbo which has had the engine heavily moded. (no idea what its had done I have a power meter which will go up to 300. Does anyone know how the power meter measures the power output? I need to get it dynode to find out if it is actually 300bhp, hopefully it won’t be far off, if the power meter says 300?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will be very hard pushed to see 300 unless you have a turbo in there tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The power meter's figures can be fudged by - spinning the wheels and entering too high a weight. It measures acceleration against weight and so if either figure is wrong you get a wierd figure. I managed 809BHP on my TT once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD3000GT Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 My power meter reads 1158 BHP I achieved this number by spinning my wheels up at 80 mph on the M4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 any one know where the nearest rolling road place is to swindon?? So i can see if it is actually 300bhp My guestimate would be around 260ish max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Its an Apex Gauge. Ive only seen one other one. Been searching cos i want one for my car! Why when it clearly doesn't work?! Why don't you stick a 5" rev counter on it at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I think you will be very hard pushed to see 300 unless you have a turbo in there tbh Can't see why not, get some loopy cams, a decent ems, maybe some headwork - it's only 100bhp/litre- My parents had 225bhp out of a 2.0 306 S16.

silvershark44 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 A 300bhp N/A ??? with absolutely no turbo? I very much doubt it. But posts some pics of the engine and get the thing dyno'd properly. But i very much doubt it will be that high. The engine it characteristically un-tunable realistically without a turbo mod.
