  3. So i picked up the car anyway. Delighted with it. Stopped into RS tuning before i took it back on the boat and got the mapped tweaked for 95 ron but also got an ITG fitted in the process. See dyno result below. Can anyone give a bit of details on the numbers? I know the bhp but am I right in saying torque is over 270lbs?

  5. I bought an R26 last year,it came with a RS tuning map and the dyno paper result says 263 bhp max. Not sure why results are so different..
     
  6. As I said, mine is mapped for 95 octane fuel. It will never make as much as a car on V power or other high octane brands.
    Am i right in saying the torque figure is 270lbs +? Seems high
     
  7. I just put Morrisons petrol in mine - is that not good for it hehe?
     
  8. Not If you want to get the best out of it mate, no
     
  9. Yes, looks like it peaks about 285lbft @ about 2600rpm on the graph, should drive really nicely with that much torque.
     
  10. not a cut and shut is it?
     
  11. i said that to!..can always spot a ringer!
     
  12. sorry missed that.. I guess i was just looking at the pretty pictures ha ha
