yeah, mine feels alot quicker up in 4th and 5th when max torque is getting produced and it would have been slipping the most.

The clutch is somewhat suspect on mine too, it is on my shopping list of things to do. It's ok when its cold, but after abit of a raz it feels sloppy when changing up the gears.

Alex - The fact yours ran 216BHP aswell, makes me feel all the more happy about it. It seems that the S drops power on that particular Dyno then.

Steve, mine ran at triton and ran 216bhp. Although the clutch was slipping. I dont think they are the best place to go at all, go to Power station next time.
Mine made 237bhp at Power Station.

ALL dynos.

No car likes being on a dyno.

The fans can't simulate road speeds.

I don;t think there is much wring with Tritons' dyno.

Powerstation one is a Maha from memory, and is quite a kind one

Like I said, getting exact manufacturer quoted figures doens't mean it's an accurate dyno.

And again, they are only really any good for diagnostics and comparing before and after mods.

Don't get too hung up on absolute figures.

Ive seen Power Station used prob close to 100 times. Always seems pretty acurate, they used to read in PS but print BHP so the figure was over a tad.

My MR2 made 310PS(305bhp) which may have been a tad high but not by alot.

Ive been to Power Station but personally i dont rate it, which is why i wont go back, it seemed to put out very odd figures in general on the group session i went too.

Anyway, for all sense and purpose, i need to stick with the same dyno now for further modifications.

Which odd "figures" are these? If you are talking about the wheel power it would be down just like if the road had 2 contact points on a tyre.

I got 260hp at powerstation on a S2000 with just an exhaust - I think it overeads a little.

However it did make 247hp when it was completely stock there.

I have ran at other dynos and made 200hp to only run straight after and get 240+. This in the inlet temp sensor suffering from heatsoak and pulling back on the ignition timing.

Dotted line is on 95Ron (forgot i had put it in) so went back a few months later on BP Ultimate - much colder day too.

The airbox open is cause i ran twice that first day , on and off and there was no real difference

I guess there is nothing to worry about then. I'm going to invest in a de-cat and a Skunk2 cat-back, then go again
Nice choice of exhaust

I would heavily advise on purchasing bungs if they are not supplied with the exhaust.

Mines is very loud and does drone but I wonder if fitting a decat would help this out?!

Anybody running this combo?
