RR After thoughts

[Fast_CAV]

Gte torque very low...my old 1 made 165Lbft

 

[pablo]

165.6bhp

bit dissappionted as he said there was bout 8-9hp being wasted on a couple of things

oil needs changed to non fully synthetic (something bout vtecs don't like fully synthetic)
induction kit is cr*p
blowout in exhaust
gear oil needs changed

bring on 175hp wit jus an exhaust and filter!!!

how did this compare to cartoyz RR?

You diesel guys really need to sort that smoke out!

I do believe that diesels still produce less harmful emissions than petrol, smoke or no smoke.

lol the amount of coughing everyone done after suggests different, lol even the dog though so, :lol:

I'd still want to get my audi on 160bhp standard i think, but im after a tuning box to take it up, and a newer and bigger turbo!!!

cartoyz give a torque readout in Nm, 777 give it in lb/f

cartoyz do the rolling road in 5th (in my car anyway) whereas 777 do it in 4th

cartoyz give you a max speed

both places give plenty of useful information. can't say a bad word bout either of them

 

[brendy]

how can they give you a max speed? my car is geared to just over 150, doesnt mean it'll ever make it, rr's dont provide the wind resistance to give accurate speeds.
i think they quote nm and max mph to make you feel better for them skinning a lot of cash for not very much!

 

[Christopher]

na well i don't know how it works

they held the car flat in 5th. speedo clocked to 155 and it was bouncin off the clock

digital clock on wall read 154 first time and 155 second time

 

[brendy]

personally i wouldnt be happy letting them do that to my car, 4th gear is fine for readings plus every so often you will see the redline at trackdays etc and know that its fine, redlining in a gear which never gets there is possibly asking for trouble.

 

[pablo]

can you post max bhp and torque for each place?

just remembering that you thought the torque was high and was wondering if 777 gave the same or close figure.

 

[VEN©M]

you guys need to remember that the flywheel hp figures are never going to be spot-on its hp at the wheels that counts...

in many cases the standard correction (SAE hp) or whatever correction software the rolling road facilities use can be +/- a percentage..

triple7 claim +/- 2% for fwds and +/- 4% for rwd but every car has different transmission losses of varying percentages.

pablo i noticed after i posted that the torque figures from cartoyz were in Nm, not lb/f

cartoyz
170hp
156Nm
155mph in 5th

777
165.6hp
116.6lb/f
123.7mph in 4th

777

116.6lb/f
123.7mph in 4th

116 x 1.35 = 156.5nm

looks pretty spot on to me.

 

[VEN©M]

to convert lbs/ft into Nm multiply by 1.356 so the torque figures for the two RRs are very close

 

[Christopher]

ah right. sorry guys at the time i thought my torque was 156lb/f and thats y i asked is this not a MASSIVE increase in torque over standard?!

standard torque is 107 i think

 

[pablo]

ah so all is well enough then ?

 

[Cormac]

Intresting to see that there no real difference, id still say Triple 7 would give a more acturate figure as they only had there RR calibrated resently!

[pablo]

well in cartoyz defence it was calibrated recently too - when it was installed
