yeah I will agree with that the best one in s.wales is wetec and they charge £45 for 2 power runs. I had one done a couple of months ago. :)
There are plenty of average places around, but if you want the best then you'll have to take a trip to newport :)

Pop in if you fancy a nose and we might even get you on the rollers if you are lucky :)
Special price on the day £30 for 2 runs back to back ;)
Nick

It is being run by me and a few other people from another car club (www.sw-cc.com)
Numbers are quite tight at the moment BUT we have over 10 cars unconfirmed at the moment.
It is highly likely you will get on if you show up :nod:
Westec website is www.westecperformance.co.uk
All the info you need is on there mate ;)
thanks Vidal Babboon!! What time does it start??
First car is on at 9, I'll be there from around 10 ish

Good to see you all today. Congrtas to Buffy,Vidal, PDH and escy for your power outputs. See you at the end of the month.
Any one got the results :)
i made 271bhp and 220ft/lb wich was dissapointing. not holding boost, putting the blame on the boost pipes being soft. time for a FMIC me thinks :)

Any one got the results :)
Phil's R32 ran 418 which was a nice surprise considering it missfires all te time.
Troy ran 351 with a near perfect power curve (your stage 3), and buffy 430ish at 25psi.
Any one got the results :)
I think Buffy (the dyno queen) had a better day than the last one...
not sure exactly but it was over 420bhp
Vidal had a big big grin on his face when I left ..
Im sure he'll be along soon so I wont nick his thunder...

Phil phoned me about the skyline - I was quite shocked. Good figure :)
Nice numbers from Troy and Buffy too :)
Did you put your car on Tone?
no point with a rev limit of 4000rpm :p
still running her in :nod:
Jezz_S13
12-11-2005, 16:09
Yeah Troy was well happy, he got a shite result last time.
I was trying to talk him into some 950s and a remap :D

VIDAL BABBOON
12-11-2005, 17:51
To say im happy would be wrong :nod:
Im fcuking ecstatic lol
Managed to get 297 BHP & 287.5 ft.lb :):):):)
Jez you got those 550's in stock ;)
Hanney still hasnt replied!! Probably still having a w@nk!! LOL
wheres the dyno queen hiding :confused:
VIDAL BABBOON
12-11-2005, 18:25
Hanney still hasnt replied!! Probably still having a w@nk!! LOL
He deserves it lol
Not only did he take the car out in crap weather But he let someone else rag the tits out of it lmfao
He must have been in shock for a good hour lol
I can imagine did he cuddle it and polish it afterwards apologising prefusley to it? lol

Good result - what boost was that?
Yup - in stock ;)
Here i am,been busy arguing with her indoors all evening :mad:
Yep 289.9 bhp and 285.4 ft lb torque!well happy with that :nod:
What a brilliant day!thanks again to nick and sw-cc for organizing :notworthy
Loved the way it turned into a full blown sxoc meet :clap: ,only beaten in numbers by torqueshops opening this year!excellent day :cool:
Oh and i'll bump the clean chassis thread for those who haven't seen what a sad anorak i can be :rolleyes: :wack:
Any one got the results :)
And my torque and power curves are textbook,have no way to scan them though,but you have those chips mapped a treat!nice one jez :notworthy
I lied!here are the piccies!
:wave:
The graph I have for HP is shite :nod: I have a possible slightly sticky caliper on the rear which is giving a dodgy loss figure :nod:
The torque graph is correct though, which shows peak torque of 368 lb/f @ 6120 rpm. working from this that gives me 428.8 peak bhp :cool: a bit different to the 465.1 shown on the graph :rolleyes:
I'm fecking happy with that (for now ;) ) :D

Oh and here are my Graphs :)
Westec power run (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nickj206/200SX/Westec%20Dyno%20run%20POWER.jpg)
Westec Torque figure (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nickj206/200SX/Westec%20Dyno%20run%20TORQUE.jpg)
We are going to ask him to give peak Torque and Peak BHP figures next time also, as the printouts are no use whatsoever lol
You have to go by the graph and they are not clear enough to make an accurate reading after the fact.
I just asked him for the figures and he pulled them up on the screen.
it'd be nice to have the torque and bhp on the same graph too.

U don't have an FMIC. Good result :thumbs:
OK everybody, got the disc with the pics and vids in the post from Pdh14a today when I got in from work, so for now I've put them up on my home webserver for you to have a gander ( no attempts at h4XX0r1ng my box please, I do keep logs, lol )
Here's the link (http://jons.hopto.org/)
Beware, I'm on regular broadband like most people, so my upstream bandwidth is a little limited, you'll get about 26 K/sec most of the time, fine for pics, but the vid clips can take a little longer than is comfortable...
If I get loads of complaints, I'll host them on my works website ( 2 meg upstream :wack: )...

i suppose its not bad, considering i have a volvo jobbie. :)
the boost pipes were so soft when they got hot, had never noticed it before. :wack:

Thanks jon :thumbs: it is a little slow though :wack: can you resize the pics down at all?appreciate you hosting these though,top bloke :notworthy
Yea, I just noticed that the native resolution of your camera is massive, so the pic sizes are huge too, I'll resize them soon :D

There might be something in the post for you Nick
Where was that parked then !!!
I never spotted a camera van :no:
It was on a bridge just before bridgend,will look at ticket tommorow it says on there!
Bloody vans,you don't see them outside schools where they would be of use!oh no just on a motorway on a dry day:rolleyes: :annoyed: :mad:
And my road angel didn't go off!another £150 down the drain:rolleyes:
Gutter. I got done on hols, Aug 7th 2005. Ignored the first letter, sent the second back saying it was me, (wifes car) got the next letter, have ignored that, heard nothing since.......
Try it ? ?
Paul I have told you a million times that just after Pencoed the speed camera van lives on that bridge!!!
Also Martins Road angel 2 went off when a mobile van zapped him but the road angels do not give you enough warning he still got done!!
Waste of time roadangel IMO just confirms you have a ticket on the way!! LOL!!
