Dyno result.

Well, had a dyno run today, at Awesome near Manchester; seemed a very well run place. The outing was organised by Cameron on VPCUK, which is mainly aimed at T5's. Mine's a 1993 Turbo Auto with Richmod & it produced slightly more than I was expecting. The figures are at the wheels & as it's an auto, it's not really possible to calculate flywheel figures. Mine managed 140BHP & 174 ft.lb (235 nm) torque. In a car weighing about 1 ton that's respectable power. A guess at flywheel power would be about 170BHP I guess. Sorry about the poor quality phone pic.
Cheers, Chris.
