Do The DC5's tend to make quoted power on the rollers?

[mardon]

I have read in a couple of places that the standard teg struggles to make the book figure of 220bhp (Calculated @ the fly) on the rollers? Is this true?

I'm still trying to figure out how the new Jap CTR can do such a rapid 0-60 with only 10bhp more power and more weight (is it?) :?:

The DC5 doesnt actualli make 220bhp as the fuel ron in the UK isnt as high as those in Japan!

 

[mardon]

That’s true. I'll be running mine on V-power. It wont cause any damage over time will it or does the ECU adjust accordingly?

Not sure about the DC5 bhp but I do know that the FD2 has shorter gearing in 1st to 3rd (like the FN2) so that help could explain the 0-60.

Mine made 221bhp on the rollers

i got one word for you HEAT :roll:

 

[BadBadtz]

mine made 242bhp on the rollers

I think the book figure is 220ps which is 217bhp :wink:

No it won't do any damage at all and your engine will thank you for it :wink:

I thought the book BHP was 216bhp? according to gran turismo 4 anyway lol!!.

Beware though cos all rollers seem to give you bit higher than expected figures so your impressed, go tell your mates, and they book a day at the rollers, thus keeping them in business!!

Mine ran a 222bhp at the weekend with hondata airbox mod and K&N drop in which is not far off standard spec. Beware though cos all rollers seem to give you bit higher than expected figures so your impressed, go tell your mates, and they book a day at the rollers, thus keeping them in business!!

If you buy a brand new car in GT4 and then give it an oil change, the bhp suddenly goes up a few bhp. thats without you even driving it!!

mine ran 222bhp with the j's racing cat back exhaust

My Gti made a pretty strange figure on the rollers at the fly. The Wheel figure seemed about right. I think it could also be down to the way the dino calculates they fly wheel figure. Good point about keeping you happy to get more custom.

Didn't no the 220 was 'ps' rather than BHP. Learn something new everyday.

Cheers for the info on the gear ratio's also wasn't aware of that.

Mine made 215.2bhp - (the point 2 is very important) - on the rollers last weekend. With Mugen airbox and Twin loop.

Thought that not too bad given its a 6 year old car, running a lower octane fuel.

Would I have similar stats considering mine is also 6 years old, but has a GruppeM and HKS exhaust :?:

Mine recently ran 200 bhp at the wheel, not standard, but again not bad for a 6 year old car :shock:

 

[mardon]

I can't imagine a well cared for car is gonna loose much power over 6 years. Mine is 8 years old and still pushing well above its weight class

Mine made 217bhp with standard airbox panel filter, back box :?:
