Hello everyone,
My name is chris im 23 from norwich. Owned my fiesta just over a year now.

mods are as listed
K&N 57I, Miltek Manifold, De-cat, Cat back, 60mm throttle body, pumaspeed 180 map, magnecor leads, AP coilovers, EBC disc, red stuff pads, sparco strut brace.

One main reason i joined forum is to seek advice with my car. I recently had a Dyno run at a tuning place local to me http://www.ap-tuning.co.uk/ the power figures came out at 156.7BHP to the flywheel which in my opinion is very low for the mods i have. Has anyone else had similar problems? Could it be there rolling road which has caused the low BHP? Or have i just got a under powered car?

Will post pics of car soon.

Regards
chris

hi and welcome.

theres loads of info on the site and you can become a full member and have full access for life with a £5 joining fee.


not too sure on your problem though as i dont understand alot of stuff regaurding power at flywheel and power at wheels etc as there is a difference.


i have a k&N and a miltek flexi and got 158.8 BHP. not sure if that was at the wheels or flywheel though.

They'll sort you out!
Welcome. Lovely and lovely mods. I think you're at about 180bhp+

welcome along, usually measured at the flywheel and then you loose shed loads through the transmission/wheels. Guess yours around 165/170 at the fly, so if that is at the wheels then you must be making Big power at the fly, so those figures can't be right.
Sign up proper and access all the secret areas.
