down on power ALOT !

[Chadwick]

some of you may remember i took my zed to a quater mile and posted up saying i got 15s ive since took it to a rolling road and found out the reason its running lean and my bhp 1s 197bhp (flywheel) i know that i am down on power due to the car being moddified and not been maped i have my name down for abbey when they are coming to scotland but surely a map wont get my standard figures back is there any way of getting my car back to near 300bhp ? and how do i stop it from running lean i asked the guy that done the dyno and he said a map will sort evrything out but hard to beleve

[Wookiee22]

What makes you think you're running lean?

 

What dyno was it checked on? How many runs?

[Chadwick]

the guy told me it is running lean it was a dyno dynamics 3 runs in 4th gear

[Wookiee22]

Do you have your afr printouts?

 

What correction did they use?

[nurrish]

Do you have the print off to hand? get them scanned in....im having trouble believing your car ran 197bhp at the fly

trust me mate i wouldnt lie about being down on power im gutted

yeah i have the printouts , not sure what you mean by correction

trunst me mate i wouldnt lie about being down on power im gutted

 

I'm fairly sure that's not what Dave is implying - it would be helpful to see the printouts. What mods do you have?

 

I mean correction to the power figure at the wheels to calculate flywheel power.

[Chadwick]

i dont have a scanner ill take a pic if that helps i have plenum spacer k1 exhaust pippercross induction oil cooler , i think thats all thats done to the engine

[Vik54]

197 @ flywheel............... can't be right!

[Chadwick]

197 @ flywheel............... can't be right!

 

wish it wasent

[rtbiscuit]

need to see the print out, can't work out anything without seeing the AFR's

 

how many runs did he do. car needs about six runs to get a true reading.

[Chadwick]

done 3 runs in 4th gear

[rtbiscuit]

done 3 runs in 4th gear

 

 

i really don;'t think they got a true reading.,

 

yes its definitly down on power but i think it unlikely that much.

 

not saying your lying, or that the bloke hasn't doen his job, but it needs about 6 runs to get a true reading.

 

if its a UK get a decent piece of ECU software like digimoto on it and you can read the AFR's direct off the ECU.

[Chadwick]

its an import mate , all 3 runs where roughly the same outcome heres a pic poor quality i know but you can see the results

 

[Chris`I]

Gonna need a better pic than that to make sense of it me thinks.

 

It could be 197WHP, would be down on power, but only by ~40-50HP which could be explainable.

You would notice 100bhp missing from the Zed. It would feel as slow as a Fiesta.

yup it is it get 15 second quater miles im going to have some one look at the car and hopefuly resolve the problem

[JAMIE MOY]

My old blue one 2005 roadster GT came out at 191 at the wheels and my overall BHP was 257 and 222 torq...... I was too gutted which then made me buy a newer 313 roadster zed.........

im hopeing i dont have to go down that route jamie would rather fix what ever problems there is than sell up ,i love the zed jst not its power

stop using quarter miles as a gauge of performance

 

its not an accurate measure of a cars performance

 

take it to someone who knows the zed and get it sorted properly

 

your just wasting money suing randoms to read a dyno output, you need someone who actually understands the Zed

Don't you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time like the rest of us?

[rtbiscuit]

 

only when i've been watching the fast and the furious on TV again

im not mate but when i get 15s on a quater mile then dyno at 197bhp its all fitting together to make one slow ass zed im just hopeing it can be sorted , and finding someone that knows about the zed in scotland is hard

[Ekona]

I could get 15s in the Zed if my launch and shifting were crap. Go and find a dual carriageway and time yourself from 30-70 in 3rd gear, that'll at least let us compare apples with apples.
