New figures for 'Little Bandit'

[Dave Bull]

OK yesterday we sorted out the little misfire, due to too big a spark plug gap.

We were up at STAR performance today to see what power & torque she would make.

Unfortunately, the car kept on jumping out of the rollers.

Even with 6 people on the car to keep it in the rollers, we couldn't keep it in place.

On our final attempt, the engine was making...

329.5 BHP @ 5830 rpm

&

297 lbft @ 5830 rpm...

This was as far as the controller could take it as it kept jumping out the rollers.

Both figures were still climbing high until this point, but unfortunately we were unable to get a true figure of it's max power & torque...

Good day out anyways!

Dave

P.S. Not bad for just 12 psi!

lmao thats just unreal. good work mate and can you not tie it down lol, obv they disnt have them at that RR but might be worth asking some others if they have the facility to strap the car down.

very nice figures tho especially considdering the relatively low rpm achieved

 

[Dave Bull]

That was with it strapped down, with 4 ratchet straps and 6 people...

TOO MUCH BLOODY POWER...who wants some?

Dave

 

[Davey C]

aye tick me about a hundred bhp if ya got some spare lol

 

[JayY]

Dave

can i just have the car?

keep up the good work btw. amazing power and so little weight.

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

thats insane, well done

 

[59 bhp is more than enough]

how u gonna get a proper figure then

 

[K11_Dave]

bags of cement do the trick - a few in the passenger footwell

 

[Dave Bull]

Yeah, but I thought 6 people on the front would have been enough!

LOL!

Dave

 

[59 bhp is more than enough]

can u not use tyres with less traction or was that not the problem

 

[Zephyr]

FRICKING HELL!!! thats a fair jump from the last set of figures(280) lol good work tho now if only i had 5figure sum to play around with lol

 

[Dave Bull]

The 280 was the WHP (wheel horsepower) reading as given by AVA.

Dave

 

[scottish-sr]

That is some ammount of horsepower. Does that work out at about 410bhp per tonne. I will have a spare bit of power also if you think its too much.

You'll see what I mean about jumping out when it comes on boost!

LOL!
