i had my ga14 on the rolling road today to see what she was running and i am quite supprised on the figures i recived.
i was told that the gear box was a bit juddery :(
wasnt to impressed at the wheel figure.

You do know you loose hp through the fly/gearbox/driveshafts/wheels etc dont you lol

Thats a good result IMO
 
yeah i no. my gear box is a bit of a pain getting in to gear some times. but im not sure when the clutch was last changed or if the clutch needs adjusting. i have changed the gear box oil. would you loose bhp through bushes being worn?
 
Not bad at all chap, did the operator say anything more?
Also am I right in thinking that max bhp and max whp aren’t always at the same rpm?
 
cheers bagger and looking at the graph it doesnt look like it but i cant say as this was my first rolling road :)

also about the (operator saying anything more) no not reli just the gear box was juddery
 
hi folks, I am completely new to this game and forum, had my first car for only a couple of months, which is a N15 ambition five door 1.6 any ideas on what type of horse power it should be pumping out from factory?
my baby has 60,000 miles and sadly is completely standard.
I think that 1.4 is doing relatively well.
thanks for any input
 
Nice one Steve thanks for the spec, I have been trying to find exactly what my model should have been out of the box the Parkers used car website was saying around that, would be nice to get on dyno before I start tinkering. but 99BHP isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things.
 
o yeah just rememberd the guy who rolling roaded my car said that he thinks the car has a speed limiter because it got to 120mph in 5th on the rollers and once it hit 120mph it like flat lined, didnt drop at all? is that to do with not enough power to keep going or does it have a speed limiter
 
Liking them figures mate :VVL:, underestimated wee engine, seems about a 10bhp increase in hp with the s/s header, which is pretty danm good.

haven't had my 1.4 on the dyno(no point really as it's standard), but whatever i've had a little fun with on the road, it seem's to be accurate enought compared to their book hp figures, so can't really complain :)
 
any pics of your car steve dont see many almeras around in cornwall...just got a gti im slowly fixing up...got a load of bits of a scrappage gti from my work that had done 50,000 miles and was immaculate....what a waste...never been to richard bros what does it cost to get on the rollers?

Click to expand...

Only JDM imports have a speed limiter, which is 112mph, (would show at about 120 on the clock though)
Post up some pictures of your car....
