just about got on the rollers!
about an inch of clearance to exhaust, i offered not to put on if a problem but got told no way:)

not too bad for a 19yr old engine.
torque as advertised, 46 ish, best power run 58.4bhp@ 7192rpm

unless the stated standard power should be at the wheels?

nice straight line is good i assume?
flat torque good as well?

nice and smooth which is how you want it mate. I think all manufacturers quote power at the fly but the figure you got is great 5.6bhp down after 19 years is a good result I guess its pretty standard engine wise in regards to manifold, funnels and stuff?

[old'uns]

standard as far as i know, needs a good service as it struggled on emissions in Feb.
had service stuff for a year now! :rolleyes:

ah right well a food service won't do any harm. As long as the car goes well on the road thats what matters right

Nice numbers indeed!

Currious. I see the dyno lists motor power and and wheel power. How can the motor power be determined without reading directly from the engine output shaft? My dyno rates the at-wheel power.

with lots of calculation i suppose? transmission losses are all variables.
if yours made 56 @ the wheels then engine would be making 70ish?

hence why i asked where the power restrictions are made?

Yea at the fly figures are a calculated guess.

Without removing the gearbox and all other drains on the crank like the alternator and A/C pump you can't get a real 'at the fly' reading anyway.
