The Caddy probably has more Bhp then any other MKB car, mate.

Except Baz's maybe.

315Bhp.

Blimey, I had that down as a chugger. Guess you learn something new everyday.

I think you're forgetting 'Big Mouse'

I doubt even Baz would beat that.

Original factory spec. Was no sloutch in it's day . . I think high 16 second quarters were the norm.

Fleetwoods (Dual Carb) were slightly quicker. (Mid 16's)

And Yeah, I reckon its probably seeing around 175Bhp at the mo' if I'm lucky !!!

Can someone Take a Video Camera, would be a good vid to edit together for the website "MKB Goes to the Dyno" or something like that

Jamieg285 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 06, 2006, 09:44:07 pm »

Planning on taking Vid + Stills.

I know Edge is planning the same.

Told Verity I was going for this.

She said is there a good reason or is it just a "bloke" thing

EDGE · « **Reply #40 on:** January 07, 2006, 12:08:04 am »

bloke thing mainly......

er...

if any one has a dv cam, i would really appreciate everyone possible videoing the day.. then i can just splice everything together to make one UBER video...

nothing like having multiple camera angles huh

Roadkill · « **Reply #41 on:** January 07, 2006, 12:09:09 am »

I Think Graeme's got one ?

EDGE · « **Reply #42 on:** January 07, 2006, 02:27:33 am »

i dunno... i would be suprised to see 125 BHP at the wheels of either mine or fubars..

when hard rock ran his car on the dyno (210 bhp) the rear wheel figure was 156bhp

a 120bhp saxo when measured at the wheels kicks out about 80bhp..

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #44 on:** January 07, 2006, 02:32:56 am »

*if* i do this, can i steal a laptop off someone?

i wanna get the real time data for 02 / TPS / ignition advance /.

does the dyno have an exhaust gas analasys function?

still not convinced about dynoing a 138,000 mile engine though..

EDGE · « **Reply #45 on:** January 07, 2006, 03:20:04 am »

laptop, might be an issue, mines flakey at best... anyone else

the dyno has got a gas analyser yes

dynoing it isnt worse than beating on it on the road dude... do you beat on it?

EDGE

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #46 on:** January 07, 2006, 03:21:14 am »

obviously.. from time to time!

whatever laptop, i'd need to be able to install WinALDL on it for the day..

plus it needs a sereal port for the cable..

EDGE · « **Reply #47 on:** January 07, 2006, 03:22:41 am »

ten it'll be fine,

although they wont let it on they dyno if it leaks ANY THING.... (so most chevys are out

)

EDGE

philoldsmobile · « **Reply #48 on:** January 07, 2006, 03:25:44 am »

no leaks from mine..

in reality, a couple of high speed runs i've done put a lot more stress on the car.

ianjpage · « **Reply #49 on:** January 07, 2006, 03:46:58 am »

got me a dv camcorder, tripod tapes etc so set to go if needed??

also laptop with Xop if needed as well...
