I didn't say anything other than Frankie was wrong, and then attempted to provide simple understandable guidance.

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".




FWIW - The only reason the OP thought there may have been something wrong, was due to the bull being banded about with the Dyno figures spouted, by someone who clearly has no knowledge.



I'm not ashamed as to the "Status of my membership" - Unlike some, I don't live my life by how many thanks there are, nor what the silly post figures or what the silly membership indicator says, nor do I "post whore" to get there.

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.
whats with the jump on the bandwagon slagging hlm off again?, i have seen plenty of bog standard motors on the rollers there hitting the manufacturers figures bang on or very near to, just cos hamish dont kiss everyones arse he gets a slagging off lol, and i respect him for being like that he tells you how it is. and also it seems vpc is a much friendlier forum than here. How did the op get a bhp reading if his car is an auto from a dyno?
