Rolling Road This Saturday
FASTdan - 29/4/10 at 07:09 PM

We are off to Bogg Bros this saturday to have our indy rolling road tuned .






Engine spec is:

Standard 2.3 Duratec
Lightened Flywheel
2001 ZX9R Carbs (40mm)
Pipercross Filter
MK 4 Branch Manifold
Megajolt Ingition management

Be interesting to see what sort of power its putting out. Its VERY potent, the carbs seem to fuel the 2.3 really well (12-13) through all gears. Thats with the air bleeds blocked off (without this AFR's were much leaner (15+).

Anyone taken anything megajolt wise to Boggs? Not sure if he'll be interested in fiddling with it. It currently runs the base MJ map.

Our 2.0 pinto was putting out 110 at the rear wheels, so here's hoping for a significant improvement. Will post up the results on saturday afternoon.

Don't know, but I'd interested to know how you get on as I've got a 2.1 pinto on MJ and the exact same carbs as you (supplied by them)

Last time I was down there (picking up my carbs) they had a mk1 escort with a fully tunned up pinto with webber 48's on the rollers - it sounded good to me

otherwise all I can say is the roads round there are good fun even in the tin-top

After the r/road session He asked me to take the car up the road to see if i was happy with it.
If you turn left out of his yard there is a hump in the road i Took off on it doing +++mph Brill

Just had my car RR tuned at power engineering runs sweet as a nut now

Just back, and once again Dave Bogg was a top, TOP man. Cant recommend him enough, totally knowledgable but entirely happy to share all he knows with anyone who asks.

He was well impressed with the engine saying it pulls hard from nothing in any gear .

A bit of carb balancing and the main jets drilled out to 170 (he said it was leaning out at 5500rpm) had it pretty much sorted. I also uploaded a more agressive map (basically the stock zetec blacktop map that is supplied with MJ) before we went.

The result, 160 horses @ 6000rpm at the rear wheels. So somewhere in the region of 180-190bhp at the fly There might be a bit more past 6000rpm, but he asked for a rev limit so we said 6k.

I have to say this thing absolutely flies. The torque is fantastic too, there's grunt in any gear, whenever you need it.

We reckon this has cost us around £1200 max. And that includes forking out full triggerwheels prices for MJ and associated gubbins, and the full bellhousing, fly, clutch etc from RWD motorsport. so if you wanted you could probably do it cheaper.

Oh and it returned 37mpg there and back (mixed driving) including the roller session

very nice result dan
what torque did you end up with?

Dunno unfortunately - his RR is quite primitive so only gives power at the rear wheels. I suspect he could have set it up to give torque but i got the impression it wasn't straight forward.

Does his machine read bhp at the wheels or flywheel?


flak monkey - 3/5/10 at 08:23 AM

At the wheels, and thats a good result Dan


tul214 - 3/5/10 at 11:37 AM

That means that mine must be the same then
160bhp

Not bad for a 1600cc
