Ragging your car is good for you

My mate noticed that the micra had got faster since i owned it.

Sure enough we took it to the dyno to find out. ( the car is needed for calibration purposes on a new dyno setup)

^^ looks funny.

The result

.... 10 more horsepower than when it rolled out the factory 18 years ago

or incorrect rollers.

This is surrey rolling road.... possibly the most accurate and trusted rolling roads in the country.

I don't see how Charlie has stumped up for new equipment, but indeed is one of the best and best kept and calibrated dyno in the country! My car is hitting it this week for mapping action!

Charlie hasn't - my mate is using Charlies road as a base line to get his near.

Has the engine ever been changed to a 1.3 and not noted on the V5

lol POS
maybe the yrs of WOT abuse allowed high combustion pressure on the rings to polish em closer to the bores and reducing blowby? like in motoman's break-in procedure?

 

[will930]

my car is saved as SHED, as it wasnt finished when it first went on lol

would be hard to edit the v5 from 1.3 to 1.3.....

Figures at the wheels please...

Not surprised. Cars can vary quite a lot. I've setup these cars for races without mapping the ecu just with engine bay tweeks and had easily these gains.

Only need a deg or two on timing, on some K11s will do this (and some do work better than others).

I gotta say I trust that dyno, just wish SRR would tidy the place up a bit.
