theotherphil 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Just had a Superchip fitted today. The only other engine tuning mods done are K&N induction kit and Scorpion backbox. Results:Before: 162BHP @ wheelsAfter: 173BHP @ wheelsThrottle response is much improved and the engine pulls much smoother. So far, I am pretty happy with the results.

adeingolf 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 I thought highline was 174bhp standard? What if any is the difference? Link to post Share on other sites
theotherphil 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 174BHP is the std crank figures....approx 155BHP @ wheels (~12% transmission loss). Mine is making 173BHP @ wheels or ~194BHP @ crank. This is a pretty good figure for an 90K engine.[ Edited Fri Dec 05 2003, 04:48PM ] Link to post Share on other sites

theotherphil 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Sorry, I didn't get a torque figure (I know, I should have asked for the graphs). The receipt just gave the before and after power at the road wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 my torque figures are less than standard but BHP is higher... why? Link to post Share on other sites
theotherphil 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Less back pressure on the exhaust system can drop torque figures but improve bhp figures. Very large bore or very free flowing exhausts are usually the cause. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 standard system on it atm. hence why im booked in for a power flow on wednesday Link to post Share on other sites
tommy 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 My torque was higher than my bhp at the rr I went to a couple of months ago....181.2bhp & 181.4lbft for a standard 97 vr That seems very high for a wheel figure....mine made 135@ the wheels..Your car must have respond very well to the mods you've done, and have had alot less transmission loss than mine...well done mate Link to post Share on other sites
