Rolling Road

Postby CByrne » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:12 am

Hey

ITG is in, Mongoose Exhaust is in, DeCat is in, Oil change, Forte Top End treatment, and all important Colour restorer means that my car is running like a dream....
Want to take it to a Rolling Road to get some stats on it.
Where do you guys normally go, and whats the cost (ish) ?

Manual GR- anyone know what figures I should roughly be expecting?

Cheers

Oooh, wouldnt mind possibly doing that as well.

One thing I am curious about is how much the AC drops the power.

Would be interested to see the difference on a rolling road.

Heres the figures from the last two rolling roads - 170-175BHP at flywheel (more than Mitsubishi claim) or + 150bhp at the wheels would seem to be pretty good figures for a manual GR. I'd say the GR responds better to mods than the GPX to be honest - its very difficult to get more than 200BHP out of a mivec regardless of mods despite the Mitsi claim of 197bhp.

We've used Westward Engineering (046 9541622) in Enfield for all of our sessions and I can highly recommend them.
