Well done, Ben. As usual totally on the ball. Just felt we needed to see the graph...as it just didn't read right! Not for a Rica!

Really unfortunate is that some people will only believe what comes out of the mouth of HLM Tuning ... It may appear to smell of roses - but we all know what they grow roses in don't we...

If you read all the post correctly you will see that members such as Frankie are only trying to help the OP, it does seem for what motor he is driving and the specification of it that something is amiss with the figures given by the dyno he visited. It was others that started off this "we know better than you attitude" and nobody actually "pi**ed on his chips" Is the OP happy? he gave no indication that he was either way but did start to think that maybe something was wrong. I have been into cars and tuning since 1966 and practically lived at Brands Hatch as it was just up the road from where i lived, ok, i know a lot about tuning N/A motors and turbos are relatively new to me how they work but above all there is one thing that stands out of all these 46yrs amonst the tuners and the hot saloon car owners and that is each thinks his sh*te don`t stink and will go on to tell others especially on forums such as this one. It is all so "clicky" on here but the S/V40 site is much more friendly and helpful towards peoples problems and when one comes to the VPC it is friendlier still and if any member has a problem they rally round and are there to help without this pettiness about who know`s more than you do attitude. It is the way it is done and it does leave a rather nasty taste in one`s mouth. You should be ashamed due to the status of your membership and also those that agree with your posts.

i was under the impression that all this site was friendly and helpfull not just one specific section.people are entitled to post what they feel is in the good interest of forum members, if i agree that the post is helpfull then i will thank that person if its not then i will not post there are enough trolls as it is . as to the dyno there is something wrong and if it had been mapped by Rica its not doing what it says on the tin.the i no better than you attitude that's a fact of life i appluad there bull**** that is if it is so. if the information is correct then its fine by me as for others that is entirely up to them and you.
what i do not agree with in your post is the us and them attitude on how helpfull each section is. mike

He even said he had similar figures from his own car on a Maha dyno... but chooses to believe the "Random Number Generator" at HLM, despite the fact we've proven that the MAHA dynos are accurate and repeatable at a number of different locations on different days. I should also point out that the figures given by the OP's dyno chart are "uncorrected". Quote:

I gotta love the "it's all so clicky on here" comments - I've never found that, but what I do find is a large number of people with their heads stuck up their a$$es. I'm pleased you like the S40 site, I personally prefer to read generally technical posts, without the BS stuff, like "what you up to today" or "I've just had cornflakes for my breakfast". I also prefer the sites where you can put a topic in the wrong section, and not receive a warning for it. Each to their own, and I fully appreciate that those of younger years like different sites to those of advanced years. What I do find amusing, is those that choose to post whilst adding nothing to the discussion, but that decide they can be critical of others who are adding information to the discussion, without adding any of their own, ie. purely a typical old mans moaning. I've noticed the older the member, the more they appear to regress and prefer kindergarten sites. Maybe I should have been less friendly to the OP, after all I've seen him locally a number of times, exchanged PM's tonight, and he'll now know who it is when we see each other My point, is that the OP has come to say XYZ, and then someone jumps up and down saying it's not making adequate power - based on their mistaken understanding of the Dyno graph, and Dyno's in general <and let's not mention physics>. I'm actually attempting to show the OP that there's potentially absolutely nothing wrong with the power he's creating, and to inform and educate the main person saying there's a problem... If you have a problem with that - tough - enjoy your s40 site.

Thanks Ben. OP that looks normal to me - what Rica claim and reality are different. It won't get near 304 or whatever they quote. 260-280 and ~400nm is ball park "correct".
